i think that democrats should be preparing for the next time they win power but honestly, calling it "project 2029" speaks to a lack of imagination with regard to the task at hand.
i think that democrats should be preparing for the next time they win power but honestly, calling it "project 2029" speaks to a lack of imagination with regard to the task at hand.
me, personally? i'd call it Reconstruction.
RECONSTRUCTION TWO!!
Seriously! Repeating or slightly changing the name continues to do their marketing for them.
"Reconstruction, continued"
Everyone knows the key to messaging is to do what your opponent did four years later
Oh HELL YEAH
Exactly. We screwed up reconstruction. BIPOC paid the price for 150 years, and now everyone else is too.
ProjectReboot or just Reboot modern and forward sounding they crashed and turned government off we're turning it back on and starting fresh next President sworn-in, SKIP CELEBRATION go directly to office, 24-hour marathon session signing non-stop executive orders undoing 2025 line-by-line
Call it NeoReconstruction to get the centrists on board, like they were with neoliberalism.
Except this time we need to actually do it.
I like the suggestion Rev. William Barber made in one of his first books (maybe his first) to call it "The Third Reconstruction."
Second Reconstruction or if they want to be 20 years out of date techish Reconstruction 2.0
Re-Reconstruction
Or Reconstruction Unleashed.
Reconstruction 2.0
Third Reconstruction
It’s not too late
Nah, take a cue from My Cousin Vinny and just call it "Everything That Guy Just Said Is Bullshit"
I think there is too much association with Reconstruction after the Civil War that was messy. I think they should call it Rebuild America.
I'd go with something like... "We The People" Subtitle: For The Future of The People
The People’s Plan
Thematic as it might also be intentionally undermined by making concessions to a terroristic right.
Denazification
Reconstruction (but for real this time, you know... with consequences)
With Truth & Reconciliation, for good measure.
Hell yes!
Dem slogan should be three words: Freedom from Fear.
Project Sherman Was Right.
Damn Right!
It should be The Reckoning or The Purge, but I'm worried it'll end up being The Strongly Worded Letter
I am partial to “DeMAGAfication.”
or go full Foner and call it The Second Founding.
It is incredibly clear that the only possible way out of this is a Third (Fourth?) Founding.
The Founding of the Republic The Second Founding Founding of the Republic: Tokyo Drift Founding & Republic Founding Five Founding the Republic 6 Republic 7 The Fate of the Founding Founding the Republic Presents: President Rock & VP Dave Batista R9 Founding X
The Republic Strikes Back
I'm seeing reports that the founder of Third Way is appointed to head this, so it doesn't seem like it will be anything new except for a way to shut the Left out.
It’s the only way
The French are on their Fifth Republic and talking about a second. The Second American Republic sounds ok.
The French have had at least 10 constitutions in the time the US has had one. “World’s oldest constitution" just means “the beta version”
Talking about a Sixth I mean.
2 Recon 2 Struction
Love it!! RECONSTRUCTION!
We had the Square Deal… The New Deal… why not a Brand New Deal? I keep wanting somone to make bold vision with a catchy name.
I am so on board for that project!
In that scenario, who are the scallywags?
The New New Deal!
How about Nuremberg 2.0 plus reconstruction?
People Powered Change
Yep…Rebuild the Nation (that the Republicans trashed); or Reclaim Democracy and Human Rights
sorry, “Rebuild the Nation” sounds too much like “Birth of a Nation”
Rev. Barber: The Third Reconstruction
Reconstruction2: The Re-reconstructioning.
Why name it similar to a fascist playbook?
Jamelle nailed it: lack of imagination. And listening to addle-brained consultants.
Reconstruction 2: Democratic Boogaloo Reconstruction 2: Reconstruct Harder 2 Recon 2 Struct Reconstruction: The Woke Strikes Back Reconstruction: The Two Chambers …I’ll see myself out
The goal of the democrats right now should be trying to remove Trump and Vance after midterms by taking back both houses of congress. I get it’s a lofty goal but if this bill gets passed and they can get there act together and message to struggling Americans that will feel betrayed by Trump.
YES
😎👍 Reconstruction 2029! That'd troll MAGA 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 good!
Whatever they call it, it should have 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘢𝘭, to win enough state's legislatures to change the Constitution (details forthcoming).
It will take the better half of a century.
De-Republicanification trials
Reconstruction 2: We're Doing It Right This Time
Big problem is, if you call it Reconstruction, probably have to talk to Black people
!!!!!!
Dang bc everybody seems to really really hate that
Don't worry we can ask the Democratic consultants instead
Oh they’ve already recommended “Brave New World”.
Lol
hdjejx damn Dominique lol
SCOTUS and 119th Congress have stolen my subtlety
Yoooooo lmfao
truth and reconciliation
It’s a truly great and descriptive name.. .”the process of building or creating something again that has been damaged or destroyed”. The historical reference makes it that much better.
Also if this is like the Schumer turds, then progressives need to make a Project Not Dogshit. Now I’ll read the article and hope I’m wrong.
RECON2TRUCTION
2 RE 2 CONSTRUCTION
RECON2TRUCTION: THIS TIME WE FINISH IT
I don't get the feeling they are interested in doing a reconstruction?
Second Reconstruction.
no, we're still on our first.
ReConstitution, since we're going to need to rebuild the damn thing.
How about, "We know you don't like us, but y'all. Jeeeeez."
>> Hey, @neeratanden.bsky.social Please don't use the Republican "20XX" format to name your initiative. Do you really want to copy it? Call it "Project Restore" * Restore our federal government * Restore our civil rights * Restore our nation's humanity * Restore America's place in the world <<
That’s exactly what it is.
With all the sequel titles being shared here, can we have the Wachowskis write it?
They're missing the boat by not calling it Reconstruction. Calling it that makes it deadly serious that the fascists won't make it out the other end of it in one piece.
It’s actually ok…calling it reconstruction will go right over the heads of the people who voted this mess in and is just another way to rewrite history about reconstruction. Let’s just accept the USA is filled with lower than average voter intelligence.
Hell yeah
The weird thing is if you put “build back better” through the Google Translate a few times and then come back to English you get… “Reconstruction!” 🧐
seconded
Along with Damnatio Memoriae. Delete his name and works.
Make 👏 Florida military 👏 district 👏 three 👏again👏
I'm with you on that. Reconstruction MMXXIX
For real this time?
This is why you’re the king
Rereconstruction.
The Better Deal It can be a message too
I love it, but you know some dumbass (I’m assuming an MBA grad who recently discovered DSA because of his girlfriend) is going to latch onto this and co-opt it into something called Green Reconstruction and it’s going to get twisted into a GOP talking point for a decade
Reconstruction 2: Finish the Job
Brand New Deal could also work.
Nuremberg 2.0 would also be nice.
💯
Im listening to the audiobook of “A Fever in the Heartland” by Egan. And man. I hadnt thought of this as a 4th wave of the Klan, but im kind of sure that it is
YES! Or maybe Reconstruction II, the Reconstructing.
I’d vote for that!
Rejuvenate, so they can sponsor it.
or Reconstitution since the word Constitution has been violated to the point of parody, lol
I'd call it the Nuremberg trials part deux.
"Project Nuremberg," but that one might already have been taken.
Reconstruction of a Great Society
FWD: RE: RE: Reconstruction
Reconstruction_Final_FINAL.docx
Project Madame La Guillotine
Third time's the charm. 🤞
Follow through.. maybe the third time is the time we learn.
Democrats are almost certainly too afraid of the 'backlash' of anything alluding to the Civil War. That fear is exactly what needs to be extinguished from the party for us to have a snowball's chance in hell.
Split the difference, Reconstruction 2029
🎯 and it should come with reparations too dammit!
THIS
They're a mirror universe.
Ironically Build Back Better would have worked lol. I like your idea tho.
And maybe with some real consequences for the perpetrators this time
💯 or the Homegrown Marshall Plan.
Restoration is better, politically.
Reconstruction. Exactly! Any Post-MAGA democracy means rebuilding America, much like after the Civil War. What's the Dem vision? What principles will they push? We've got nothing so far. I mean, just empty crap. Zippo. Dems! What will you do with power? Make your case if you want us to show up.
Rev barber - 3rd reconstruction
I have a suggestion: "Salvaging American Democracy"
Could call it delusionalthat they think there will be free and fair elections in 2028
Or in 2026! This bill proves they have no plans for free & fair elections...no freakin way.
Reconstruction era, civil rights era, deprogramming era
Make America America Again?
Yeah, that rolls off the tongue better than "Prosecute and Imprison Everyone in this Administration"
I was gonna say "Overtrump" but really can't put that name with anything but profanity
I was just thinking "Project 1865: Let's Finish It This Time"
Reconstruction 3: Threeconstruction
New new deal
2 Republic 2 Furious
Repair Team.
YES!!!!
Alas, Perestroika was already taken
It fits
Reconstruction 2: This Time It's Personal
I’d call it the Reckoning.
Reconstruction is sooo good, but this is more to the point! 🤗🎯
Reconstruction 2: Electric Boogaloo
👌
Reconstruction For Real This Time.
If they think they're getting power back through an election, they're out of their goddamned minds.
We'll need an Exorcism.
To say the very least.
They’re legitimizing Project 2025 with this bullshit and it’s stupid of them.
Bereft of imagination..why aspire to soar when you can waddle around in a middling way..
💯
Reconstruction failed last time. Do we really want to curse it with that name? How about Deconstruction?
MRGA
Eyyyyyyyyyyy
I would call it Project Restore and Repair!
“Reconstruction FINAL DRAFT”
Forward to the future. Future Forward. People First. ANYTHING except Project 2029. Stupid.
Can you start a party?
Reconstruction is the compromise name for the moderate platform. Sherman's March 2 speaks to me more, personally.
2 the sea
Sherman's March 2 the sea 2: tokyo drift
2 sea 2 furious needs some workshopping, but it’s got legs
2 Scorched 2 Furious
How about “The Real Deal”?
‘29 Comeback Special
This times 1000. And it's what needs to happen.
and what's to stop people from thinking it's not Project 2025 2.0?
Reconstruction done right.
Project for a New American Century
I had the same thought. "Reconstruction Redux" or something
Okay Reconstruction 2029👍
Grotesque. They need a new vision not a ripped off slogan.
What needs to be done to start an impeachment process of the Supreme Court?
Project LFG
Really pathetic to mimic the branding. Smells singularly of a revenge effort.
Democrats can't even agree on who is a Democrat.
Restore Justice
The real problem is that the Ds have shifted to become the opposition wing of the Rs. In reality, there is no Democratic Party any more. The good folks running as Ds are either there because the system forces them there or because they haven't fully come to terms with what has happened to the party.
It's appalling to me that the Ds didn't *already* have "project 2029" that was based on "project 2021" that was the plan to put the systems & legislation is place to ensure that the MAGA movement would be unable to subvert our democracy. Doubly appalling that P25 didn't kick that into high gear.
Even calling it "The New American Dream," or another very high school social studies class project title, would be more palatable than that "Project 2029" shit.
Love that they think we are gonna make it to 2029 if we keep this pace
They might want to be radical and promote « Truth, Justice and the American Way »
I think “Project Fix Everything” would be better or maybe “Democratic Plan to Press America’s Power Button Off then On”.
How about Project Cowabunga Dude! That'll get them youngins excited!
Really?! We’ll all be dead by then.
Maybe they should start listening to their base bc the current status quo is not working.
More proof that the folks running Dem leadership aren't actually an opposition party at all. It's just performative, and I am done with them. #burnitalldown
I think they are just living in the past where rules applied. This is all out war.
Associating it with "Project" aligns them with the dystopia. Wtf is the creative director of this? It is not relatable whatsoever.
How about “Operation Overlord”. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operati...
Overlord? You mean protector? youtu.be/B3DyxaCYlfg?...
I’m a big supporter of, “Do not copy the fascists.” Don’t alter the MAGA slogan to support a different cause, don’t use any of Trump’s insults against his perceived enemies now or in the past, and definitely don’t copy the title of one of the most harmful agendas ever implemented for the country.
Too damn far away. Let’s talk about Action 2026.
Agreed
I think we should call it "Project Hague"
In my heart I do
LOVE THIS!!!!
How about Phoenix from the Ashes
How about Liberté 29. OR 29 REASONS TO TRASH TRUMPISM?
The Democrats have no message, no vision, no passion for anything that connects with regular people between election cycles. On top of that, they bury their talent to protect the perks for their most senior members, who are unaffected by all the terrible things the GOP is doing to us.
The Supreme Court will stop any progressive backlash
Hahahahah “Dems in power”… Dems are too busy eating each other to unify and it’s a ducking shame.
why use their evil terminology too? Why not call it "operation save america" or something without the fashy baggage
So dumb and so lazy.
Soooo depressing.
Well then, what do you think we should call it?
Dear Establishment Dems, Sit down. Listen.
How about a Glorious Reformation? If you can obtain real political influence and return to the philosophy of John Locke and so build a system where the right to rule comes from the consent of the people. Elect the President on one person one vote – abolish the Electoral College.
Reform the Senate so membership reflects State population. Require independent career civil servants for the setting of electoral boundaries and to supervise elections. Whilst leaving actual voting in the hands of the States permit the Federal Government to issue regulations.
Move to prevent voter suppression. Tighten the laws on bribery and corruption. Legislate to punish violations of the Emoluments Clauses. Make it plain that the President is fully bound by the law of the land. Criminal prosecution to be placed in the hands of career civil servants.
Enact campaign finance reform. I understand that there are a very large number of ordinary issues pending. However structural reforms like these should enable a strengthened American Republic to reflect the wishes, values and interests of its people.
What about rank choice voting?
For the Presidency or all federal elected offices? I see two obvious ways to elect the President. The first, and preferable, is a use of rank choice voting.
The second would be something like the French system where the top two candidates from the first round run off two weeks later to produce a clear winner. Electing the House and Senate by ranked choice voting simply requires deciding what to do with primaries.
It's very weak. Not to mention who in the hell wants to wait another 4 years through all this crazy shite?
I feel like it's incredibly defensive messaging, which isn't going to be helpful.
Not to mention putting 2029 on it just reminds people all these new miseries aren't going anywhere for a long while.
I do understand planning for the future, but I don't think it makes sense to play everything like a response or like we've already lost, because how does that inspire support?
Exactly. Project Get-Them-Tf-Out-of-There.
We need to purge the dipshit consultant class from the party, along with the credulous cretins who buy their snake oil.
Total Reversal of un-American and Malicious Policies
Why are they naming it after the most unpopular agenda in history? Wouldn’t almost any other name be better? Can’t they get something right even by accident?
At this point, they may as well have a suggestion box stuck outside the DNC headquarters and take ideas from whoever. Because it has to be better than what they are coming up with.
Yep. Defense hasn't worked out for us so well.
calling it “please don’t hurt me, dad” would be less embarrassing
Fuuuuuhh... This totally legitimizes the fascist Project 2025 by making it sound like "now we have a version of it too". So tone deaf and STUPID. Now MAGA will scream "I guess there was nothing wrong with ours if you're doing it too ".
How about Project Democracy; like girl let's start there and many of us will be satisfied enough for the time being. How about Project Win-the-Damn-Election then we'll figure out the rest. 👀😅😅😅
I too like keeping things simple. My car has one bumper sticker: Protect Democracy.
If they want to stick to this theme it should be Project 2027. We won't survive until 2029. But urgency and the Democratic Party have never met
The next Dem POTUS (if we get to vote) needs to be ruthless. No more playing pitty-pat with fascist thugs. Empty Gitmo and re-fill it with the real, Maga terrorists.
I’ve almost quit on the hapless Dems. David Hogg should organize and get young, fierce men and women to run. The current DNC is pathetic.
Lets work on Project 2027 first!
Just....nuts. We need Project 2026 urgently first.......
Horrible idea, and a fundamentally Republican technique to rip off one's opponent's rhetorical strategy
💯
"Let's do the thing that everyone hated but this time we'll tell them it's GOOD."
At least they are doing the thing that weve been calling for for three years
“Socialism, but national in scale. What?“
🏆🏆🏆🏆
Third way is involved so just sanding the edges off the GOP plan.
It sounds so fucking uninspired it’s ridiculous. Infuriating.
Call it Progress America
Love that!
On brand for the current Dem leadership
If “project 2029”, released via “Democracy: a journal of ideas” doesn’t include House and Senate reform, EC abolition or SCOTUS expansion, then it’s just the repurposing of a GOP document that had actual structural reform (read: destruction) and was highly unpopular (those that knew of it, anyway)
Why oh why are they so uniquely bad at this?
If they have to copy, and evidently yeah, The New New Deal. Copy a winning slogan from a Popular DEMOCRAT
Project Turn This Shit Around, please
Ewww. Cringe. C’mon Dems. Be for fkn real
If only centrist Dems would use Trumps new kingly powers for good or until we make the Republican Supreme Court take em away. 😒 No I think if centrist win power they'll just punch left & hug fascists.
You mean like Senator Sanders hugs the NRA and Lou Dobbs?
I disagree a few times with Bernie & maybe even with Mamdani I have the privilege of not having to rescue Republicans from themselves. 🤷♂️ If anybody wants to "deprogram" Republicans that's fine just don't lie or bunch left aka drag me into it.
Bernie & Mamdani are polite or want to help lost people. 🤷♂️ Maybe im a little annoyed at that I think we should acknowledge tho it's Republicans hold us back ultimately.
Senator Sanders owes his Federal political career to the fact that the NRA wanted to punish Peter Smith: m.sevendaysvt.com/news/stickin...
How about “Project: We’re Pillorying Those Motherfuckers”
Agree. Also STOP USING THEIR LANGUAGE. How about Project Restore America, cuz what they are doing is DESTROYING it.
Agenda ‘29
UBreakWeFix
But if we call this the Big Ugly Bill that's really clever and will make people dislike it according to the very expensive focus group run by my college roommate. /sarcasm
That ban on national injunctions is going to come in handy in 2029.
"You have to survive a minimum of 4 years before we can even be bothered" is how that name sounds to me.
Find out what the up and coming generations plan on working on. Back that. They are w-a-y more in touch with what everyone needs. Follow them!
Build Back Better was good and y’all are haters. It’s all about to burn down, so we can get creative with building something the responds to changing needs. And slogans.
Lack of imagination, period
The consultant class is dropping the ball here. Nobody on the right cared about p2025, and only extremely online people knew of it/read any of it. But Fox News and newsmax will have a blast misrepresenting and skewering a p2029. Just an absolute unforced error.
"We can't have nice things because..."
I'm workshopping "Tax the rich now or eat them later."
How about Project 2026? Or Project July-Dec 2025? What’s there plan NOW!?!?!?
Just like the way they said they needed a Democrat "Joe Rogan". Who pays these operatives for their stupid ideas. We have so much to pull apart. How about stopping AI from having control of the way we think and how our brain works. www.newyorker.com/culture/infi...
Jesus wept.
“Second Reconstruction”?
I'd be happier with "Project Remember When There Were Billioniares?"
Someone didn't didn't read: Don't Think of an Elephant, by George Lakoff They are letting Republicans determine the narrative by using their terminology. Fuck!
It’s always been this way, thinking of how pro life and “illegals” terminology have been allowed to catch on. Dems been lacking the creative fortitude to change the narrative for years. Then when a popular new narrative arises organically (ie zohran) we get senator gillibrand spouting Islamophobia
it's so infuriating. they do it over and over and over again.
Worse. It's an instant repellent.
The United States of America is a criminal enterprise. Maybe just HONESTLY address THAT FACT.
The Great Normalization
How bout they call it “all of us are going to go away and put genz in charge because we are incompetent and greedy” it has a nice ring to it, no??
www.lonestarleft.com/p/texas-dems... Have to set ourselves apart from those who are joined at the hip with the republicans and elites.
OMG!! that is so damn derivative!! NOOO! that's *their* kink!! what is this? "hunh well i'll show YOU!" irony is, conservatives et al., truly struggle with being original & creative. they've been in the corner for so long, they just copied the cool kids till they could bully their way into power.
how utterly dumb for dems to consider now copying *them*!! yeah sure, copy the copycats; that's the ticket. 🙄
Omg make it stop 😫
Freedom is Diversity! Deal with it in a respectful way.
They're just mad New Deal was taken
I disagree, they should be putting their fiercest reps at the forefront instead of binding their hands. Most of the old guard is content to carry on as if the election is in November. The same moment that produced Project 2025 is keeping the Dem leadership comfortable and quiet.
Why do we gaf what they call it? What the actual fuck is wrong with you? If you're well-off enough that you can sit here criticizing shit that doesnt matter in the fucking slightest and arent doing everything you can to get Democrats elected so that they CAN save us? Fuck you. You're MAGA.
“American Reformation” could have been a way to grab some evangelicals’ attention.
This is why we don’t win! I have a plan: no more billionaires! It’s Bernie’s plan, but everyone has loved it since 2016!
Like naming next production unit “post Hindenburg”.
Democrats show a profound imagination deficit. Just look at all the Dem Senators using Trump's framing "The Big Beautiful...X, Y Z..." to criticize the bill. They are brain dead and don't even know it.
Couldn't just call it, " Undoing The Fuckery from the last Administration " ???... too many words???
Truth and Consequences
They should just set their HQ on fire.
Exactly. And really builds on how popular Project 2025 was. SMH
It also ignores the fact that Democrats got power back, in 2020, and did squat-all with it.
Um, people were complaining that the Dems didn't have a plan for the future, and now when they announce such a plan, it's NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Miss me with this bullshit.
Glad they are at least trying to show effort and planning. The name already has negative connotations though. Why would the general public want another "project" when the first one screwed them over so badly?
PROJECT YEET FASCISTS INTO THE SUN
I don’t want to be the mice in any other government “project” . NO.
Americas Build Back Better 2029😙😙
Also too, they need a Project 2026 for the election, a Project 2027 for what to do with the gavels, a Project 2028 for the next election, and then Project 2029.
So many people commenting have been saying that’s what we should call it, been trying to dissuade them from that
“Modernity”
surprised we didn't get "The New New Deal"
More newer! Way Dealier!
Project :power back to the people? Project: refund? Project: Lock them Up Project: Democracy?
They can’t even get project 2026 in the bag.
It tells me they’re not going to even try for 4 years.
Also feels like a subtle way for them to dodge doing anything meaningful for the next few years. Gotta keep that powder dry!
Are they definitely calling it that? Seems like it’s just a working name that was intended for internal communications. And folks are once again having knee-jerk reactions over nothing to me. 🤷🏾♀️
100%
How about Freedom or America
This is the NYT, right? Don't paint Dems with that brush, please.
I hear you, but to the low-information voters, this sets up an easy contrast.
The low info voters also aren’t sure if Project 2025 actually has ties to Trump
And if they won’t do “Reconstruction,” my vote is for “Unfuck America 2029”
How about, Throw them all in jail 2029?
Project 2026.
I bet the party paid a couple hundred thousand to some worthless consultants for this POS slogan.
Bingo!!!
This group of “Dems” are not anyone who remotely matters
Good old Democrats the old guard just keep getting it wrong. The connotation is negative, so why would you use it? Dumb fucks 🤷🏾♀️😒
A lack of imagination is also what lead to project 2025 winning the 24 election, and Trump winning in 16
I think its naive to think we will have any more free and fair elections.
It’s really lame. Simultaneously try hard and boring.
With that slogan, you are always bringing your competition to mind when they think of you. Marketing 101 is top-of-mind awareness. Don't remind ppl of others. You are the ONLY option.
Seriously, why are politicians/parties so bad at this?? Why are then not hiring the best advertising and marketing ppl out there??
We won’t last that long, dems are so impotent
Not if we get rid of the old guard who REFUSE to let the Progressive young warriors take over. If you aren't with me, I'm against you, and I will vote for a new Democratic Party. David Hogg was RIGHT. We SHOLD primary the old fucks who refuse to step aside for new blood. I'm looking at YOU, Pelosi.
Pelosi did MANY good things. She was a GREAT Speaker. But she's like Dianne Feinstein, now. She wants to die in office. HELL NO! We need to primary her. And I'm her constituent! Her time in power is over. She should retire gracefully.
They haven’t even bothered to plan how to stop project 2025.
Given all of the new powers the Supreme Court has handed to the executive branch democrats better be planning some BIG moves, and they better be looking for ways to make sure they can’t be undone! Time to take the gloves off.
And surely, they need to be planning for 2027. And maybe having a plan for 2025 would be kind of nice, because I see no evidence of one.
Exactly!!!
At this rate the candidate they’ll want to run in 28 will be called Ronald K Grump or some shit. Who comes up with these naming ideas?
Who stupid Dem came up with that?
How about 'Back to the future'?
I never want to hear project yyyy ever again in my life. Why name it after the worst ideas of the other party?
Concur!
It will take years to correctly identify the immediate impact repugnants have done to anything they touched…
They are always so damn bad at this part.
Ughhhhhhh
It just tells me that they have nothing. Someone said “we need something to counter project 2025” and another person in the room was like l, “I have an idea!” And that’s how we got project 2029.
just shows how much they’re ignoring activist groups in the party. lacking any creativity and good crowdsourced ideas.
So they're planning to wait until 2028 to start doing anything, when we probably won't have elections again if they don't impeach the orange dick.
How about Project 2026.
They've left us that title to use.
Too many of the same people running things. Its so tone deaf.
American Rebirth
Time for an updated constitution. We’ve seen how stupid, yes, stupid, a lot of Congress is. So the Constitution should be updated and loopholes closed by history, law, and science experts.
Retribution Act. Call what it is and let the motherfuckers know who is exactly gonna be fucked when it comes.
Whose stupid idea was this?! MAKE IT STOP!
It's cringey. It makes me feel stupid saying it. That should not happen. Let someone younger and more clever name anything they plan to do.
I’m sitting here as a millennial at a loss for what it should be called. You nailed the issue. Let gen Z name it. Then they will feel ownership and maybe connect with the message. If make America glizzy again is the winning message, I’ll back it. So long as it’s winning. This is not
Reactive and not proactive, as always
Should be "Project 2027." Every Republican Congressperson, and every Republican Senator facing re-election in 2026, should facing a strong Democratic candidate. Today.
So, hypothetically, once we DO finally get past this hellscape, that doesn't mean the MAGAts magically disappear. What will the plan be to keep them...minimized? Until another 60-90 years goes by and ppl forget, again, what bullshit we are going through now.
It’s the thing that signals its lack of seriousness. That would be at the top of any white paper you produce or the biggest text on any cover page. Why not give it a real name instead of doing this lazy gotcha bullshit?
Bold of them to assume we make it to 2029 lol. Should really start focusing on the immediate if they want to have credibility going forward.
I guess there wasn’t enough support for the proposed “Make America Great-er Again” theme. There’s no better indication that they aren’t thinking about any of this with any intentionality than the hackneyed stuff like this they communicate.
Maybe “Denazification”?
Project Retribution
Yes. "Project Mid-Terms" would be more like it.
Democratic strategists lacking imagination? Shocking, I tell you.
Isnt he literally saying Harris had no imagination at the beginning of the article, too? Like, she had no imagination, and you’re gonna combat that by mimicking your opponent’s branding?
What?
im saying it’s strange that they’re like “harris lost because she lacked imagination” and then they display their own lack of imagination by copying the project 2025 name
“Next time they win power.” What if there’s never another chance? The odds on actually having elections — starting with the midterms — not good.
Good grief - it was boring when the sentient oozes at Heritage birthed it. Something inspiring that fits on a bumper sticker. My entry: "The American Way: A Blueprint for Tomorrow" Education, healthcare, transportation, food, wages, and housing, built on a foundation of equality and privacy.
When you can only define yourself in the terms used by your opposition, you inevitably lose.
They're just ceding the next three years? Do they really think our nation will survive that long under this regime? And they wonder why all of us "groups" get discouraged.
You'd think they'd have had plans for 2026 by now...
It's got both Jake Sullivan AND Third way though, so the kids are going to love it.
I don't think we should let the ny fucking times weaponize the agenda setting function of the mass media in favor of racist maggots anymore, but y'all do you.
Nuremberg 2029
They are lame
This is to assume there WILL be fair elections—if at all.
How about project put them in jail?
That's because the democrats involved (Neera Tanden and others) are all unimaginative idiots who should be removed from political circles for the betterment of society.
At this rate, the Democrats will all be executed before November of 2026. They have done nothing of substance since this shitshow started. Participation trophy victories, at best. Their opponents are playing for keeps. Which means they aren't playing.
Individual Democrats are, but yes, you're correct, the party has failed to recognize the power and the violence that the GOP embodies let alone come up with a strategy for toppling them.
Not to mention that "Project" anything now has a stench to it.
I would prefer something that doesn't remind me of this 2025 hot mess we're in.
They just don’t get it
Still following where they're led, because they have no inner guiding star.
The democrats continue to make the worst move possible. Undefeated in that respect.
Reconstruction 2029
🤮🤮🤮🤮 Way past time for a new political party that actually represents the people. Dems don't have the magic, because they are beholden to their corporate overlords.
Just wait until you see who's working on it. It's just more of the same, except worse because we already know it doesn't work.
It’s somehow worse than “Brat”
Absolutely agree. It's ridiculous.
How about they think about midterms and if they can’t back the kind of candidates their voters want then they get out of the way.
How 'bout Build Back Better Redux (joking) It was bad enough the first time.
It's also four years late.
If there is an after time, it will require rebuilding on a scale that puts the New Deal to shame, but I guarantee “project 2029” will be a package of tepid, means-tested reforms that ultimately fails to pass.
God yes. More Perfect Union feels like a much better branding opportunity.
Protect 2029?
Operation Tumbrel.
yes. please dont use the nazi’s marketing
