    For real. The fact that all of these are just more Republican lies is extremely disappointing:

    “She’s committed to banning fracking, phasing out internal combustion engines, and rolling out the most progressive Green New Deal yet,” another section of the Progress 2028 plan reads.

    “will support a nationwide gun buy-back program that will take dangerous weapons off our streets"

    “Let’s remove barriers for undocumented immigrants who are undocumented!” one ad states, adding, “Access to affordable housing, driver licenses, and fair wages creates a stronger America for everyone.”

    Republicans are so detached from the American people that they think these ideas would scare us. It’s no surprise they suck at parody, but by putting these words into Harris’s mouth they run the ironic risk of pushing undecided Independents or seemingly-ignored Progressives to vote for her.

      The goal isn’t to scare progressives or even the democrat base. This is to split voters who are center right to vote against the progressive version of Project 2025.

      They literally saw how bad Project 2025 hurt them and instead of coming out against it, said “We should put a fake libder version of it together! That’ll show em!”

      The sad thing is that it might work.

      I could see this working if targeted towards never Trump Republicans, but they’re risking accidentally motivating people to actually vote for her based on something she was never planning on doing.
