Is winning the only hurdle? That's so depressing.
When it comes to stopping Project 2025? Yes, that is the only hurdle. Work on the rest after that.
That's not something we'll ever "stop". That's an ongoing eternal fight. And you don't win by only playing defense. You need to try to score also.
We will never stop a specific agenda that has been laid out in great detail in a plan Americans are souring to the more they hear about it?
The sounds like what some people told me about Biden in 2020. Why vote for him? He's the same as Trump.
Except he isn't. By most measures.
Who said that? Did I? I never said any of that. Read my previous comment again.
Your previous comment:
My response:
Then I told you a different claim that your comment sounded like.
So yes, you did say that it is not something that we will never stop.
Did the agenda get stopped? Project 2025 exists. So the right wing religous agenda is ongoing, is it not?
What a strange question. The agenda didn't get stopped because the election hasn't happened yet. Which is why they need to be beaten first so it can be stopped.
You do understand that it's called "Project 2025" because they want to implement it in 2025, right?
Project 2025 exists because electing Biden didnt stop anything. P25 is simply the latest label for the same agenda that's been going on since forever. That's what never ends.
The conservative religious right has waxed and waned for millennia. But it never stops.
You're missing the forest to the trees.
Okay, well then I guess we should give up. You're right, don't vote for Harris. She doesn't pass the purity test. Let Trump win.
I never had a chance to vote for her. I was never offered any other options. That's what my first comment was all about.
Did you canvass for anyone else to challenge Biden in a primary?
Would there have been a debate if I had?
Possibly. But you clearly didn't canvass. If you're not going to put in the work to canvass for another candidate, it's pretty silly to complain that you weren't given a choice.
Candidates don't get on ballots by magic. It takes work.
No they wouldn't. The party leaders were all in on Biden until 3 weeks ago. The last thing they want is for the public to choose "their" candate.
This is a lot of work to justify doing and contributing nothing.
That's a great excuse for never trying, isn't it? "They don't want us to do it."
