Nobody is going to earn your vote, folks. You get a voice by having it rewarded, but "support in advance" isn't how the political transaction works in an FTP democracy. Our system reduces to power. I don't like it. It's reality. You won't get further left with the right winning elections.

The only way to take the party left, BTW, because I know whose saying shit like this, is to retain power, take more, and obtain a greater voice for that wing of the coalition in a government they helped create. There's no universe where a loss takes this party anywhere but to the right.

No romance author should EVER ignore this. I don't care if you think you're different from porn, throwing porn under the bus only greases its wheels so it can run you over next. If you write ANYTHING but very bland cishet romance you're first in line. But it will hit you eventually either way.

Go into any field office during a Democratic election. Look around at the volunteers. Look at what the census says about the percentage of non-white people in the area; look at the volunteers. Look how many Black women are there. Look how many Latinas.

I 100% believe they would lie to their front line. If it’s a third party service, I wonder what would happen if the employees of that service made complaints to their higher-ups about who they’re answering calls for.

I'm curious if those are actual Project 2025 volunteers or employees, or if this is a third party answering service. The latter makes sense, the former is just baffling and implies they're lying even to their front line.
