How about Dems Starting Their Own Project 2029 . . .

[Nanjeanne]

Starting With:
Eliminating Citizens United
Doubling Minimum Wage
Removing President Immunity
Expanding Supreme Court
Supreme Court Term Limits
Taxing Mega Churches
Raising Taxes on Wealthy
Forcing Corporations to Pay Taxes
Women's Healthcare & Rights to Decisions Over Own Body
Protecting LGBTQIA+ Rights
Reversing Global Warming
Banning Assault Weapons
Medicare For All
Tuition Free Public College
Paid Sick Days, Parental Leave, Vacation Days
Make Voting Day a National Holiday
Ending mass incarceration and advancing equal justice under the law.
Protecting the fundamental right to organize
Advancing racial justice and equity

Feel free to add . . . but why can't the Democrats put together a Vision For The Future Document? And shouldn't they?

1. There is no guarantee of an election in 2028.

And if there is one, it will be rigged.

We need to get through this coup and Constitutional crisis first.

[Nanjeanne]

2. Right. Let's not prepare in advance. Sort of how we were warned about Project 2025 for a year - and still

Dems were caught backfooted thinking "he really did it".

[Ars Longa]

10. Project Democracy 2026, I think we'll have to move much faster than 2029,

I'm saying through national protest and organized resistance and national
disenchantment with Musk/Rump, we can , Hopefully we all make it to 2026.

3. I think this is a wonderful idea!!

Dems should start working on it now and ask voters for input on what they would like to see in it. By the time it’s ready to unveil people are going to be so sick of p2025 that ds 2029 will be like a giant shining star!!

4. I do not think the Liberals (note liberal and not Democratic as D's can sometimes be very conservative) have enough

paranoid people to formulate one really to counter their theories that fall apart if a person has more than a couple of brain cells.

6. Not sure what your post means...

Can you expand on it?

[LiberalArkie]

7. It is just that the "Project 2024" seem.s to have all the paranoid delusions of every John Bircher since

Richard Nixons witch hunt of everyone in Hollywood and the Government being Communists. On down to all the delusional thinking of Reagan and the Storm Thurmon .

I just do not think we have enough delulus to come up with a plan that encompasses every train of thought but the creator of the plan.

The simple thing of get rid of all the people that answer the phones and replace with a multi-trillion AI that requires new power plants to power it and increase the wait time from 15 minutes to 5 hours and please choose from the following menu items. With no menu for an attendant.

Democrats tend to want to solve problems. GOP really likes creating them.

If I had to formulate a plan it would roll JFK and FDR into it. Along with the AntiBillionaire Tax Bill.

5. Partial list...

The No Profit from Healthcare Act
Medicare for All Act
All healthcare includes eye, ear, and teeth care
The No Child Goes Hungry Act
The No America is Homeless Act
The National Fair Representative District Act (or No Gerrymandering Act)
The Democratically Elected the President Act (or National Popular Vote, or National Democratic Vote)
The Senate Adjustment Act (where a State's population determines the weight of a Senator's vote)
The No Billionaires (or $500Millionaires) Ever Act (no one person can have over the amount, the rest is taxed away)
College For All Act

8. Good list. I would add full reproductive health care for all.

[SnoopDog]

9. Only in America...

Because of Republicans, we have to specifically codify women's health. Disgusting.

Thanks for your post!

11. I used the word "reproductive" so it would apply to free vasectomies as well.

It's a lot less invasive than having tubes tied. But there are guys who just won't do it, even if they are pro-choice. It's crazy and not a little sexist, IMO.

[Polybius]

12. I'd like to add some of FDR's Second Bill of Rights

Specifically, the right of every family to a decent home.

13. I was just thinking about that

Republicans have had 'Contract with America' and 'Project 2025.' They've been getting statehouses, etc for decades. Dems definitely need a plan and this is a great start.

But Dems also need to learn how to lie and keep some things under radar like taxing churches, banning assault weapons, LGBTQ issues, etc until after they win. Go for the left-leaning populist issues first.
