    I couldn’t tell you specifically why, but I would question the value of such a project. Project 2025 undermines the foundations of the United States and moves the US towards authoritarianism.

    Red versus Blue was an entertaining web series, but not an effective system of governance. Things like project 2025 are symptoms of a deeper sickness in the United States. Democrats shouldn’t be playing the same game as fascists, once you play by their rules, you’ve already lost.

    The United States is an Oligarchy, the will of the people is almost entirely eclipsed by the interests of capital. Democrats don’t need their own project 2025, the people need representation in government regardless of what color flag their elected officials fly.

      Liberals helped get us into this corporate hell hole. Don’t let either party off the hook. That being said. The stakes this election are too high.

      Vote blue.

    Logic and reason seems to have worked faulty well so far. There’s room for improvement though.

    Democrats have a platform. That is their equivalent to Project 2025, but written by the party.

    Republicans only have Project 2025 because they don’t have a party platform, they gave up on that in 2020 and just go with whatever Trump vomits out. Project 2025 aligns with the things they have been trying to do for decades, which is why it is being treated as their platform.

      Republicans have a 2024 platform. You can Google it.

        They didn’t put one out for 2020, and said “same as 2016” I haven’t looked at their new one.

        It’s like a page of high-school level ranting gibberish. I suppose that is technically a “platform” but not what people are typically thinking of.

    Because when the Republicans are in power they fall in line, when Democrats are in power they fall in love.

    To explain that last bit, Democrat candidates tend to have more direct goals, more local or state policies or projects they would like to enact. So everyone of them arrives in DC with something they are trying to do, and nothing usually happens as it requires the party to agree on it. Gathering the will to collectivly push past the GOP is usually too high of a barrier for most modest bills, especially when they are being extra obstructionist.

    We do. It’s called the Constitution of the United States of America.

    Clearly, Republicans don’t care for it much.

    Because both parties are owned by the wealthy and our country is for sale. The rich have a plan and on a long enough timeline they always get what they want.

    Billionaires shouldn’t exist. Pious Billionaires are a threat to humanity.

    There is no party advocating for progressives or advancing our cause.

    We have to proceed without leadership as our system is too corrupt.

    As well as the other good answers you’ve received here is also the fact that they are in power currently. If dems were out of power outside groups would be publishing policy books and papers to influence the direction going forward in the coming retool. They probably are now. But as has been said the dems have an actual platform to attack so only policy wonks and fever swamp dwellers read and attack the papers coming out of democratic leaning institutions right now.

    They do, it just uses the generic name “platform” to refer to their political strategy instead of naming it something ominous.
