For anyone that wants to really know exactly what the conservatives plan to do against the American people, read their ”Project 2025: Mandate for Leadership."

At least read the Forward, but here’s the whole PDF:

The rhetoric just in the Forward is frightening, disgusting, and dangerous.

We MUST vote for the Democrats if we’re going to maintain any semblance of real freedom for everyone and not just conservative white people.

(Side note, I found it hilarious that the “Forward” felt like it was 1000 pages down. And reading that much BS made me feel gross.)

Ok so, the Project 2025 thing is terrifying. Their Forward is terrifying. They have no plan for making this country better for anyone except themselves. They state very clearly they want to delete anything they don’t like.

They want to ban books and open discussions.

They want to deny racism exists or ever existed.

They want to deny that biology exists outside of their narrow minded beliefs.

They want to force a single religion on everyone.

They cite problems and point the finger at everyone except themselves.

As if it wasn’t abundantly clear at this point based on their ACTIONS what Republican rule will be… And yet we still have millions of people fully invested in that cult of hate and fear.

I’m not American, but reading the Foreword was just plain scary to me since it comes from a major party. There’s nothing about economics and all about moral outrage. You guys need to diversify your parties somehow.

Yeah, by voting 3rd party. But the vast majority are too stupid to realize that they need to be apart of the change they seek instead of voting for the “lesser evil”.

I’m sick of the two party system also but also recognize that’s the system in place. Requires voting reform for that to ever change, which I support. I’m still going vote for democrats in the meantime because anything else, to include third party or abstaining, is ultimately supporting the republicans whether one wants to admit it or not.

If enough people, 5% of the population, voted 3rd party in one election, it gives the 3rd party the ability to get on the ballot in every state. This goes a long way.

Neither side wants ranked choice voting. Neither side is going to give up power.

We have to vote something different to change the 2 party system. Not going to change itself.

So what’s your plan to stop the US from turning into Gilead? Wear lots of black clothes and whine about it?

I can’t speak for the previous commenter, but I know that not voting for either party is my plan. Everyone that votes out of fear of “the bad one getting elected” is part of the problem. How about something you can vote for instead of something you’re voting against?

But you’re supposed to pick a side and be willing to literally lay down your life for them and their cause! Ra ra, go team go. Otherwise you’re just part of the problem according to either side.

I agree with you and I’ll go a step further and say fuck all politicians in general. Today, they’re all owned in some way by the money that puts them in power. They’ll all tell you what you want to hear. They’re all experts in half truths. Never trust a politician.

Politicians are owned by their constituents, who they overwhelmingly vote in alignment with.

The whole “politicians are owned” thing just doesn’t show up in any data whatsoever.
