Yeah, I call bullshit on all of that, but to return to the topic on hand, it doesn't change the fact that the democratic party isn't Marxist, and the platform in project 2025 presents the, in your terms, "conversation starter" proposal for implementing the republican and trump policies, in spite of beaker's smoke and mirrors denial that it has anything to do with them. You are unwilling to say anything against the specific problems that many here have brought up. That's tacit support.

You know this is how 25+ other civilized countries in the world do it right?  

Well they don't end private care, and neither will we. But yeah, most places don't understand medical bankruptcy. And they take care of people, because it's the right thing to do.

1.. DEFEAT INFLATION, AND QUICKLY BRING DOWN ALL PRICES.
2. SEAL THE BORDER, AND STOP THE MIGRANT INVASION.

4. BRING BACK THE AMERICAN DREAM AND MAKE IT AFFORDABLE AGAIN FOR FAMILIES, YOUNG PEOPLE, AND EVERYONE. 
5. PROTECT AMERICAN WORKERS AND FARMERS FROM UNFAIR TRADE.
6. PROTECT SENIORS. 
7. CULTIVATE GREAT K-12 SCHOOLS LEADING TO GREAT JOBS AND GREAT LIVES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.

Consider it a rebuttal to The Communist Manifesto which is the road map for the leaders of your side.


If this is a "conversation starter" it is an aspirational wish list of things that you would like to have, right? The republicans and trump have put out a list of proposals that are totally abhorrent and that is the problem people here have. You are saying that people shouldn't complain about the proposals since they will never happen. Kind of like how Roe v Wade was settled law and wouldn't be overturned. Since these are your goals, you own them and quit pretending like they are ok.

To say that the Communist Manifesto is the roadmap for democrats is ludicrous. At not time in the past or up to the present has the party been Marxist. Even the progressive wing is not Marxist.

It's privatize everything, isn't it? Including the weather disaster warning system. 

Let's be fair... it's not everything... but there is time for addendums.  So far...
  • Department of Education: The project suggests disbanding the Department of Education and emphasizes "school choice," directing public funds to private or religious schools. It also proposes privatizing student loans and eliminating the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program.
  • Medicare and Medicaid: The plan includes prohibiting Medicare from negotiating drug prices, promoting the Medicare Advantage program (private insurance plans), and making significant cuts to Medicaid. It suggests turning Medicaid into a voucher program and eliminating federal oversight of state Medicaid programs.
  • Veterans Affairs: Funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs would be cut.
  • Transportation Security Administration (TSA): The project recommends privatizing the TSA.
  • Federal Reserve: It proposes abolishing the Federal Reserve and instead backing the dollar with a commodity like gold.
  • Department of Energy: The project calls for overhauling the Department of Energy to promote fossil fuels and reduce emphasis on green energy sources. It also aims to cut federal funding for climate change research.
  • Labor Unions: Project 2025 seeks to allow states to ban labor unions in the private sector, make it easier for corporations to fire workers involved in collective action, and eliminate overtime protections and the federal minimum wage.
  • Federal Student Aid: The project calls for the elimination of the Office of Federal Student Aid and suggests creating a new government corporation to manage student loans.
You know... if you get rid of everything the government does... nobody will have to pay any taxes.

As a recovering Republican, I've come to appreciate that the notion of "meritocracy" and "everyone can succeed" and "American independence" isn't entirely correct.

History's trajectory on fairness is positive.  There are reactions and overreactions, but overall, I feel that diversity of opportunity is positive.  Is DEI overdone...yes.   Is it worth gutting everything and removing slavery references from textbooks so white kids don't feel bad.... hell no.  Should the names of Confederate soldiers be removed from schools?  Maybe... but the local community has to see a value in doing so.  Of the 300 or so public schools in the country named after rebs, my state has none.  It's a tiny issue... that grabs an outsized amount of attention due to its emotional ties.  It's like transgender athletes.  There are 82,000 college athletes each year.  So far, 32 openly transgender athletes have competed.  It's not an issue... but it draws a huge cheer every time Trump says it... which is why he says it. 

You can have Trump's record. A repeat is what I'm so against. History will be very unkind to Trump, and will ultimately show Biden as a critical leader in the perseverance of the Republic.

So back to Project 2025:  You didn't answer the question.  Do you believe Trump doesn't know anything about Project 2025?
