I've noticed a lot of posts asking how we're going to vote, and people coming in trying to shame people for not voting for Biden, or any candidate in the general election at all.

So I'm curious and, asking in good faith, want to know - what will make you stop voting for Biden?

Why is Project 2025 a "death knell"?

It’s not. One of these days I need to do a post on why this whole Project 2025 thing is fake. It’s a “plan” that sounds like it was written up by a 15 year old that has no idea how government bureaucracy works. If it actually is a plan and not a DNC op to scare people into voting, it’s not going to actually work.

The idea that you can switch out bureaucrats with party loyalists is a joke. If the CPSU couldn’t do it, then the GOP sure as hell won’t pull it off. Bureaucracies just don’t work that way.

it'll work when the democrats do it five years later as a gesture of bipartisanship

Idk about the new crop of weirdos, but the old gop wanted to gut the federal government until it could no longer function as a regulatory enforcer. They made it like 85% of the way there before being mostly shut out by the evangelican fascists.
