I need y'all to understand: Biden isnt losing votes from the far left. He never had those votes, and could never get them.

He's losing the votes of Muslims and Arabs in Michigan and Philly. He's losing the votes of moderates who are watching Israel's final solution in horror. He's losing the votes of Latinos and Haitians who see the southern border is getting more militarized and more violent every year

[Edit] to be 100% clear: If you oppose Israel's war on Palestine, but plan on voting for Biden this November,this post isn't about you.

And if you aren't planning to vote for Biden, please go read Project 2025 and then explain your logic again, because what Trump and the Christian right has planned will be actual fascism, right in our own backyard.

They don't care about project 2025, they're only concerned with what the Biden admin is doing now. The fact that the only viable alternative is magnitudes worse is immaterial because that requires thinking too much about the consequences of their own actions.

It's all first order moralizing and completely ignoring the 2nd order and follow on consequences. REEEEEEE genocide Joe bad, crickets on Final Solution Donny.

That's the charitable explanation. The less charitable one is astroturfing in an effort to demobilize Democrat-leaning voters.

>The Heritage Foundation has published new editions in its Mandate for Leadership series coinciding with each presidential election since 1981. Mandate for Leadership: A Conservative Promise is the ninth report in the series and was published in April 2023, earlier than any past releases. Heritage refers to the publication as a "policy bible"

they've been doing the same shit for 40 years. calling it project 2025 was just a way of staying in Vogue. many think tanks are making projects and naming them after future years.

The heritage foundation don't scare me, at least not anymore than the Democrats.

If you think the Democrats and Republicans are as scary as each other you’re playing into the Republican’s propaganda and are not seeing the bigger picture.

Democrats actually have power. The heritage foundation just hopes the Republicans listen to them.
