[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Biden and Kamala are the kids who can’t finish the group project in school because they are so out of their depths so they have to rely on another group member who has experience  to save the day .[/quote]

A vote for Biden/ Harris is a vote for who-knows.[/quote]

We have to choose between another trump administration which was the most destructive administration in our lifetimes or another Biden administration which has been doing well.   This is a very easy choice. Biden.[/quote]

How was Trump’s admin the most destructive of our lifetimes?  I know you aren’t blaming Covid solely on Trump (because that’s insane) so I don’t understand.[/quote]

Trumps bungled handling of the pandemic. Saying nonsense at the podium practically every day.

Eroded allie’s trust in the US. NATO? He got laughed at by the UN general assembly.

Passing tax cuts for the wealthy, running up the debt.

Disparaging groups like Hispanics and Asians, Muslims.

And how about just being mean and nasty and thriving on divisiveness, instead of trying to unite the country like a president should do!!

Could go on and on.[/quote]

Trump's plans and policies are godawful - and anyone who doesn't know about the Heritage Foundation's blueprint for Trump's second term - Project 2025 - needs to get up to speed on it and should be deeply concerned.   The posters who have previously mentioned it aren't exaggerating how horrible it truly is.  Project 2025: https://www.project2025.org/policy/
Details on impacts:  https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/06/10/heritage-foundation-project-2025-explained/74042435007/

Some of what would happen with Project 2025:

Centralization of Power: The proposal aims to centralize power in the executive branch, potentially undermining the system of checks and balances

Politicization of Federal Workforce: Reimplementing Schedule F to replace career civil servants with political appointees could lead to a loss of expertise and independence

Erosion of Civil Liberties: The plan includes measures that would roll back civil liberties, such as restricting LGBTQ+ rights and limiting access to reproductive healthcare

Undermining Democratic Norms: By bypassing congressional approval for significant policy changes, the proposal could weaken democratic accountability

Legal Uncertainty: Many proposed changes could face significant legal challenges, creating instability and uncertainty

Impact on Social Safety Nets: The plan seeks to dismantle social safety net programs, which could adversely affect vulnerable populations

Authoritarian Tendencies: Critics argue that the proposal promotes an authoritarian agenda by concentrating power and reducing oversight

Threat to Public Education: The proposal includes measures to eliminate the Department of Education

Economic Inequality: By rolling back regulations and social programs, the plan would exacerbate economic inequality

Environmental Concerns: The proposal includes measures that will weaken environmental protections, and harming efforts to combat climate change

Healthcare Access: Repealing aspects of the Affordable Care Act and restricting abortion access would reduce healthcare availability for many Americans

Cultural and Social Division: The proposal’s attack on civil rights will increase social divisions

Impact on Scientific Integrity: Politicizing federal agencies could undermine scientific research and integrity, particularly in areas like public health and environmental science

Judicial Independence: The plan’s approach to judicial appointments could threaten the independence of the judiciary

Foreign Policy Risks: The proposal’s foreign policy measures could lead to increased international tensions and conflicts

Economic Policy: The economic policies proposed will favor the wealthy and corporations at the expense of the middle and lower classes

Public Trust: The perceived authoritarian and undemocratic nature of the proposal could erode public trust in government institutions

Media and Free Speech: The plan’s approach to media regulation could threaten free speech and press freedoms

Long-term Stability: The sweeping changes proposed could lead to long-term instability in government operations and public services[/quote]
