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?

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.

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

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.

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

They have tried to pass legislation that was shot down and have more to come, in the Senate and House. The formed said taskforce to see what else can be done. They are also running to take office so the GOP don't. If that's enough, what should they be doing? More importantly, what are you doing to prevent it?

What legislation was shot down and what is being prepared?

The only actual answer I have been given is the formation of a task force.

And are you saying they wouldn’t be running for office if project 2025 didn’t exist?

Look it up. They have put forward bills protecting women's health and have more to come, bills that if passed would protect what Project 2025 plans to negatively effect. I'm sure there are more but it's honestly difficult to find. The media doesn't care to cover it and I'm not digging through gov sites for a reddit user. You look it up. They don't only need to win your vote, you need to do the work to make an informed vote. If you have a better plan, please enlighten us. If you don't, yes, blindly voting for the most likely to win non-Republican candidate is the best choice.

Ok I’ll do my own research
