Project 2025 polled just above cancer, pedophiles, and COVID. No one wanted that. So much so that the nominee, Orange Julius Caesar, started lying about it and distancing himself from it. And then he made all kinds of promises that were pure blatant lies and he won't be able to do any of it. All he wanted was their vote so he could stay out of prison and enrich himself and it worked. He just happened to be in an election cycle where incumbents lost all over the globe and he was not seen as an incumbent. I have never seen people vocally and on television and on social media talking about how much they regret their vote. No, this is not the time for a huge democratic overhaul.

I'm lucky that when I get angry, I get deadly calm instead of losing it.

Dont dumbdown. Expose all the GOP lies for what they are. Throw the lies back in the liars face.

The Democrats needed to fight against the propaganda that kept going up and up.

Your words are very true. As you well know, many elections are won by 2-3 percent and less.

totally agree. There is nothing wrong with Dem values, and I will never apologize for them. Kamala/ Walz rocked it.
