[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel a good Project 2028 needs to refocus our government to center BIPOC and LGTBQIA+ voices and lived-experiences.[/quote]

This is the big debate.  Do we do this, or do we "pivot to the center," "run a boring white guy," "ease up on the progressive politics," etc.?

I personally think we have to OWN our authentic selves in this party, and stop being ashamed of who were are racially, sexually, politically, whatever.  I really don't thinking running as Republicans lite is going to cut it.

Isn’t the definition of insanity repeating the same thing over and over again and expecting different results?[/quote]

Well, both options feel kind of insane when we're losing.  I mean, there are only three categories, really:  authentically progressive candidates, ideally from a marginalized group; boring white guy Republican lite; or something in the middle, a la Kamala, who ends up having an authenticity problem ("is she a proud black woman, or a rich narc?").

I'm not convinced that the boring white guy approach is any good either.  Do we really think our rainbow coalition is going to enthusiastically canvas for Mark Kelly?  Do we really think Republican dudes are going to go against their buddies and abandon their party just because we put up someone with a dad bod?

Anyway, what do you think we should do?  Who should we run?  I'm at a loss.  [/quote]
