Trump is now trying to downplay Project 2025
Project 2025 (and its auxiliary Trump’s “Agenda 47”) are a plan by right-wing extremists and other authoritarians to end America’s multiracial democracy and to replace it with a White Christian nationalist plutocracy.
A conspiracy is a plan by two or more people operating in private to advance their interests and goals above those of some other person(s) — or in this context the American people. Project 2025 is not a conspiracy. These plans are exhaustively detailed in a book titled “Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise” and are regularly discussed at conferences, in interviews, and in other public forums. Project 2025 and its related plans, like Agenda 47, were not hatched overnight. As author and journalist Anne Nelson and other experts have been extensively documenting, Project 2025 and the other right-wing extremists’ and neofascists' plans to end America’s multiracial democracy have been years and decades in development
Both sides... Right?
No, but yes. Democrats fund extremist Republicans in order to "secure" their seats. The amount of times this has blown up in their faces means that they are, at the minimum, culpable for the extremism festering on the right. Their party isn't as bad, but it does answer to the same interests (big business) that the Republicans get their matching orders from.
No
Yup
Counterpoint: fuck no
TrickDacy is on the case!

I’m happy to listen to your points if you have well documented evidence.

Great, that’s exactly the kind of evidence I’m talking about. I hope people take you dead serious when you spit facts like this.
You're being downvoted to hell and back but part of the reason where here is because the DNC in 2016 chose to support and push the right's fringe candidates assuming they were unelectable....it's has absolutely failed.
What GOP candidates have the DNC boosted that went on to defeat the Democratic candidate? Just curious.
Well first I read about it was regarding the 2016 election so Trump's dumbass for one. It seems the same inability to understand the audience lead to Hillary assuming she had states she needed in the bag. The DNC somehow encouraged "unelectable" candidates and Hillary did not campaign in some states she should have.
Biden all the way for 2024. I don't love some actions of the DNC, but we saw the cost of the asshole tax in 2016. No chance I'm interested in exploring asshole tax 2.0. it will literally tear the country apart.
The argument that Hillary is responsible for Trump is pretty ridiculous. The Republican primary for 2016 was a clown car full of losers nobody liked and Trump won through a series of plurality victories because the GOP is full of power hungry narcissists.
Notably in 2020, early on it was looking like the Democrats were going to nominate Bernie in the same way. He was winning early primary contests by plurality. But the Democrats circled their wagons and lined up behind Biden.
Hillary Clinton barely had a grip on the Democratic party in 2016. She lost significant mindshare and support to a relative unknown at the time (Bernie). She certainly wasn't powerful enough to pick who she ran against.
Biden also didn't to my knowledge discuss the Republican primary very much if at all. For a while he was giving Trump the Voldemort treatment and not even referring to him by name.
Yes, but no. Her campaign and the DNC actively worked to elevate Trump in hopes that he'd be unelectable so that they wouldn't have to compromise with the Left. The "pied piper" tactic that the Dems are now continually using is extremely high risk but they would rather see fascism than leftward movement.
She and her super Deligates and the DNC absolutely stole Bernie's momentum.
Like I really don't understand people who hang out in poltical forums but have like, not even a cursory knowledge of politics.
Adam Schiff ratfucked Katie Porter by taking millions in democratic donations and giving them to the republican candidate, so that he wouldn't have to face Katie in the general.

I really don't understand people who hang out in political forums but like, don't even have the ability to read the question before shooting off an unrelated answer. If Adam Schiff loses to Steve Garvey you've provided a proper example.
Steve Garvey won the primary cheese head. He won. Porter lost. Goal met.
Steve Garvey hasn't won that seat. I would've preferred Porter win the spot in the primary but this is in no way an example of the DNC boosting a Republican and losing the race.
Schiff spent 10 million dollars promoting Garvey, a Republican, to stop a progressive.
