There are elections where you can afford to send democrats a message, and others where the price is too high.
Trump has said he’ll only be a dictator on day one. What he means by that is that Project 2025 and the Heritage foundation already has the list of hires and fires drawn up, as well as several laws.
They already know who to pay, and already have the Supreme Court loaded. What he means is he’ll only need a day to institute Unitary Executive theory and he only needs a day to put it place legally.
After that it will be a legal dictatorship… And irreversible.
So all you have to do is weigh up the cost of not voting.
You can look up Project2025, and Unitary Executive Theory on Wikipedia yourself if you think this comment is neoliberal propaganda.
This is all the more reason for Democrats to listen to progressives. They could easily win this election with no issues if they just listen to progressives. So if the stakes are so high, then why are they not compromising?
Because “easily win the election with no issues if they just listen to progressives” is not a known statement. We don’t know how it’ll work. If we knew that’d be the case, I’d be all for it. But right now on the West Coast, progressives are losing to Republicans in city district attorney races.
Does that mean progressives are guaranteed to lose nationally? Not at all. But it isn’t a given either way, and we shouldn’t pretend it is.
