    I used to work a small job at a big name liberal/progressive(ish) think tank during the ‘08 election. These organizations are filled with thought leaders who are usually brought into administrations at high levels. They have constantly been creating plans to implement progressive changes. They had plans in ‘08. If it weren’t for McConnell & the bank bailouts we would have gotten much more than DACA and the ACA out of Obama’s presidency. HRC had so many very good policy plans that were ready to go if elected that were visible on her website. No swing voter elected Trump for project 2025. What made project 2025 so successful was Trump’s willingness to blast through every guardrail and Congressional republicans unwilling to protect their power.

    TLDR: Project 2029 broadly exists. It will be implemented if Dems have congressional power.

      I’m not saying don’t vote Dem. I’m saying expect more, like AOC, Mamdani, and Sanders. Old guys can work, if they’re lifelong dedicated to working class, like sanders.

      We need the next FDR here. Full middle class subsidization and fuck the robber barons.
