So many neat things happening that give reason to believe we can still build a better world, even in the face of climate catastrophe & right-wing psychosis. We can't give up hope.

Coming back around to people needing to stop acting like they were born yesterday. It's fucking clear at this point that the knives are out because certain factions are unhappy that the president isn't hanging on their every word and have found a perfect vehicle to concern troll.

i don't think it would be a double digit wipeout because hatred of trump is baked into the pie and gets you into the 40s at least, but doing something that has always resulted in a massive wipeout in the past doesn't seem like a great idea

Itβs important to defeat Republicans so thoroughly they have to tear the party down and rebuild it. Itβs good to have two (or more) viable parties, but neither of them can be violent, eliminationist, authoritarian cults of personality.

If Biden did something similar there would be a minimum of ten follow up stories about what it meant for the campaign, how the loyal project 2025 staffers felt about it, what major donors were saying etc.

If Trump knows nothing about Project 2025 he's way more out of it than Biden. (Trump is lying but he is, in fact, way more out of it than Biden, who may be in fact be too out of it to be president).
