Who can write Project 2028?

FDR cheated on his wife? Wasn’t he paralyzed in a wheelchair??

All you whining and saying you are middle of the road...you suck unless you voted Harris. If you are part of what brought us Trump, I hope he makes your life an utter and complete misery. He's going to do that to so many of us and it's your fault.

And please tell me which of Trumps stupid EOs "everyone" agrees with? Gulf of America?

No thank you.

+1 If a Democratic Project 2028 simply means to totally reverse ALL of Trump's EOs (they aren't all bad...perhaps just badly implemented)..then no, absolutely not in favor.

There needs to be less extremism from both sides...that's what landed us in this mess to begin with. There needs to be a clean slate - stop with the blame game. Just look forward and put forth a new "best in breed" Project 2028 -- meaning take a look at Trump's EOs without bias - the EOs that a majority of the country fundamentally favor (and voted for or even support even though they voted for Harris) and incorporate them into Project 2028 with perhaps a modified plan of execution/implementation.

I voted for Harris and can't stand Trump, but I fundamentally support the idea of many of his EOs even though I may disagree with how they are being implemented.

I am interested in your view. I respect any "never Trumper" and have friends and family memeber who are Republicans/Independents with whom I regularly dialogue.

I also agree that "simply reverse" is not going to work for a lot of different reasons.

I get that you know the implementation is wrong - but can you share which EOs you agree with? Also, can you comment on the Left's "extremist" views that people say alienated voters in the middle?

Full disclosure, I personally lean toward Democratic Socialism but I see so little support for this position within the party that I can't see it as alienating the center? But aren't centrists appalled by the idea of provatizing the government?

Wow - you are impressing me with your open dialogue! It's refreshing. Thanks.
Full disclosure, I personally lean toward Republican Conservative but am more moderate on many issues. I think Trump's biggest mistake was overturning Roe v. Wade.

A sampling of the EOs I support (in full or partially) - some in principle only (just not in the way they are being executed/implemented):

Remember what I said....I support these and other EOs "in principle" and some only partially and not necessarily in the implementation of them.

If we had an honest debate on each of these EOs -- working to support what a majority of the country supports in principle -- that's what a Project 2028 should look like IMHO. You can't cater to either extreme and expect to win the middle.

Project 2028 needs to speak to those who decided to vote 3rd party and those who decided not to vote at all. It also needs to speak to those like me who voted for Harris as an anti-Trump voter, but who deep down (while disgusted with how several of the EOs are being implemented) do support many of the EOs in principle. Not listed above, but I have supported English being the standard language for decades - long before Trump addressed it. Yes, we are a nation founded by immigrants...BUT everyone should be forced to learn the main language - full stop. And while there is constant confusion - the conflating of gender identity and sex gender - you are indeed only M or F - with the extremely rare other/intersex. Not to be confused/conflated with gender identity ideology. I do think we should compromise here though as I do fully support the rights of LGBTQ+ -- compromise being that you should list both sex and gender identity on IDs then. Sex being the biological/scientific sex assigned at birth (M/F being the standard and norm) and Gender Identity being optional/whatever you decide later in life (Trans, Non-Binary, etc.).

I'm not an extremist and I hate hypocrisy. I don't do marches or protests. Unless you count not buying an iPhone or any Apple products because I don't like the Apple monopoly.

I believe in the power of voting which is honestly the only thing that made me want to vote.
I wish many more issues where on the ballot for voting. I'd love to have the majority of the country vote on key issues that never seem to appear on the ballot.

Democrats have a few psychological dynamics that prevent optimal strategizing. We SHOULD want to deliver policies that most Americans support. That would help us a) improve more American lives; and b) win more votes and more elections. But we often DON'T support policies popular with the American people. Why not?

1) Anti-Trumpism. If he likes it; we tend to hate it. We tell ourselves it's bad even if it's not. Even when we KNOW it's good, we'll often be against it to deny him a popular win. We'd rather deny it to the people for four years so WE can give it to them.

2) Democrats imagine ourselves to be intellectuals. So if we like a policy, we're quite sure it's correct, even if unpopular. We also don't like admitting we've ever been wrong, so we stand staunchly by terribly ineffective policies that have been demonstrably failing for years.

3) Progressivism is a dangerous drug. The world view is that we should always be "opposing" tradition and the status quo. The idea is that we are the most evolved enlightened ones, dragging the rest of society along behind us. So if we support something that only 30% of Americans support, we don't think of that as "wrong," just "early." We see it as our job to PUSH THROUGH unpopular ideas that WE believe in, because we're sure the rest of the world will EVENTUALLY believe in them too if we can force them to evolve.

Np. I don't believe you voted for Harris and agree with his 'many' EO.
Please share which ones you like

Just admit you voted for him

So you aren’t a D.

No one cares what you think about the D platform.

I'm not a progressive liberal Dem. Believe it or not there are...or rather were conservative Democrats.

I do not vote straight R or D -- I vote for the policies that align most with what I believe in...sometimes its a Democrat and other times its a Republican.

I'm a moderate swing voter and if you don't care what I think about the D platform that speaks volumes and that's why you lost in 2024 and will likely lose again in 2028. Remember that.

I might or might not care about what you think...depending on which state you live in.

Dp. We are thinging 2026 first. You sound like dumpy. Making threats if you don't get everything you want. No compromising for you!

By 2028 I imagine we might belong to Putin

Gift opinion article which basically says the do nothing sit watch and watch implosion approach is not the right one. Instead, progressive liberal Dems who care about people need to propose ambitious solutions bc there are real problems in our system and government.

Who (person / groups) is positioned to write such a thing? Would they?

IMO watching an implosion might be fun but it doesn’t provide a viable alternative that reacts to the real problems in the US for the midterms and next Presidential cycles.

NP. You’ll first have to convince the country that progressive liberal Dems actually care about people. I don’t believe that any more (moderate Democrat here) and I don’t know anyone who does actually believe that.

Wow! Are you telling me you believe Dumpy actually cares about people? Show me evidence. And btw, you aren't moderate if you think they care about anyone but billionaires!

FDR and Eleanor had a complicated relationship. I think they found comfort and support with other people and for me it isn't our business.

If the Democratic response to the current extreme MAGA administration is simply the opposite extreme, then I may actually decide not to vote in 2028. I'm done with the extremism of both sides.

There has been no extremist left, you are just an idiot. Please stay home.

Thank you. Yes, I think I will...along with many other voters who decided to stay home last year....which is a big reason Democrats lost.

^Now who's the idiot.

^Also, FWIW this "idiot" voted for Harris last year. But sure I'll stay home next time and not vote since that's what Democrats want.

Dp. Good grief. You would throw away your vote because of one person? That's crazy. The pp doesn't speak for all democrats
