We need to expand Medicare, social security, and provide new programs to make life easier for young families. We need better public schools for our students, free community college and trade programs, and a slew of new workplace rights.

Project 2025 came in 2023, a year before republican wins in 2024. Here the author of this article is saying democrats need to hammer out a plan after their election. Why don’t democrats have a blueprint for their own leadership? The Heritage Foundation led with their plan, it seems democrats are playing defense after the fact.

Yes, gop has had plans going back to powell memo, some secret since they know they are full of lies and misleading.
