    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 aloligns with the things they have been tryibg to do for decades, which is why it is being treated as their platform.

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

    Even if they did, you think they’d get it released? They saw what happened to the Heritage Foundation following the leak of P’25.

      if it leaks and it’s a problem, it probably isn’t a good idea to go forward with that policy.

      Which, for the record, democrats aren’t likely to have a “secret manifesto of things only assholes want” for their policy guidebook. (But they do have a policy guidebook. They develop one every National Convention )

    They used to rant and rave about some progressive manifesto they were worried about. It was around the time that Hilary in the primaries the first time.

      I’ve never heard about that. Please cite a reputable source so I can read more about it.

    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 us or advancing our cause.

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

    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.
