Democrats Can Be Our Own Worst Enemy [View all]

Let's face facts, Republicans, now Magats, speak with one voice with one message.

Democrats have battles between moderates and progressives.

Back in March of 2025 Congressional Democrats were prepared to take a stand and vote against the CR. At the last minute Chuck Schumer kneecapped House Dems and gave permission for Senate Democrats to vote for the CR which ultimately resulted in the passage of the Big Ugly Death Bill.

What happened in the past is over with, Democrats need a strategy to unite everyone. I can make the case that Indivisible has done a better job of uniting Democrats than Democratic leadership.

I have an idea for Democrats, create our own Project 2029. Go back to the basics - brainstorm- with a white board with moderates and progressives working together to come up with our own concrete plans to undo the damage done by Project 2025, design it to help working class Americans. The DNC and other Democratic leadership organizations will have representatives to help brainstorm, but Congressional Democrats will have an equal say formulating our agenda.

Democrats will have a united talking point, a concrete plan for working Americans' future spelled out in writing.

When Democratic candidates are asked about their plans for the future their responses can be cohesive and united; Project 2029.

The strategy of Krasnov burning it all down and then people will vote Democratic doesn't cut it with me. I shudder when I see numerous articles that proclaim that Congressional Magats know that they are going to get trounced in the midterms. Here we go again, people will vote for the lesser of 2 evils is a wrong strategy.

There is time to get going on Project 2029 - Do It Dems.
