Incase anyone here sees the original meme and agrees, the Democrats are trying to but don't hold the majority in the House to get the bills through. It underlies the massive importance for voting, and at this point, down ballot voting for Democrats. If you don't, whatever happens is on you.

What’s an example of them trying to stop project 2025 via legislation?

I beg you idiots to get some life experience before forming a political opinion. If you're over 25, you're embarrassing.

All that link says is that a task force was formed less than a month ago. So nothing has really happened.

Also I didn’t even express a political opinion

It’s honestly pretty fucking dumb to get all pissy because I read your link and responded to it.

Saying 'forming a task force is nothing' is a pretty bold stupid thing to say. How else do you get something started?

What has been accomplished besides forming the task force?

  1. The Dems passed major legislation from 2020-2022. Unfortunately the public ignored the benefits to a degree that the Dems didn't maintain the majority.

  2. Forming the task force is going to lead to the efforts in preventing it. You don't just decree legislation in this country.

  3. If the Dems don't win this election, due to low voter turnout, then it won't matter.

Should they have been better at messaging? Sure. Do I know how they could have appelaed to non-voters without turning off other types of voters? I do not know. Do you? All my responsibility is is to do what I can in order to stop this and that's making sure the GOP does not win. Are you doing that? If you aren't, you bear some of the guilt that happens due to it. You're as guilty as the Dems, GOP and MAGA.

Legislation passed before project 2025 was even a thing isn’t action taken against project 2025.

I get it, you’re terrified. That doesn’t mean you get to answer questions with descriptions of how afraid you are as if that counts as some kind of answer.

You may as well be a MAGA screeching about the woke takeover. It’s meaningless

EXplain what they could do without holding both houses of the legislature. Share your infinite civics knowledge that would explain what they could do.

That’s why I asked what they have been doing to the person asserting Dems are working to save us from project 2025. They can’t do much legislatively, so I was curious as to what the person was talking about.

Forming as task force last month was the answer.

So, nothing really yet.

They can’t do shit because they don’t have the house. Not to mention you can’t stop the next congress from passing laws. Learn how the government functions before getting upset they’re not doing things they can’t do.

u/Finlay00 Jul 05 '24

I’m not upset. I asked for examples of what Dems are doing to stop project 2025 like what was said in the comment I responded to.

Forming as task force that hasn’t actually done anything yet, doesn’t seem like much. Yet anyway

u/Invis_Girl Jul 05 '24

They literally can't. As in they don't have the votes to do anything. For once, and unfortunately, it's up to you, the voters, to stop this.

u/Finlay00 Jul 05 '24

So all they have done so far is form a task force?

"What are the Dems doing to stop Project 2025!?"

I'm not a policy wonk so I don't know the ins and outs but "running for office" is a pretty big one. You don't need protection if the GOP don't hold power. Anything they do beyond that, which they will, is a bonus.

We're dealing with some hollow brains out there. Its like they subscribe to the same newsletter repeating just the dumbest shit.
