Kamala Harris links Trump to Project 2025 in debut rally: ‘Can you believe they put that thing in writing?’
Harris outlines a campaign built around abortion rights, voting rights and making the case against the former president
In her first campaign rally as the presumptive Democratic nominee to face Donald Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris took aim at her Republican rival and a widely derided Trump-linked platform that provides a blueprint for the next GOP administration.
“Donald Trump wants to take our country backward,” she said in remarks from Milwaukee on Tuesday, just two days after President Joe Biden ended his re-election campaign and endorsed his vice president.
Harris, who secured enough delegate pledges to clinch the Democratic Party’s nomination within a little over 24 hours after announcing her candidacy, linked Trump to Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation-backed plan for his administration, and one that his campaign is now furiously trying to distance itself from.
“He and his extreme Project 2025 agenda will weaken the middle class. We know we got to take that seriously,” Harris said. ”Can you believe they put that thing in writing? Read it. It’s 900 pages.”
The plan proposes cuts to Social Security and Medicare, tax breaks to corporations that will force “working families to foot the bill” and abolishes the Affordable Care Act, which “will take us back to a time when insurance companies had the power to deny people with preexisting conditions,” Harris said.
You're viewing a single thread.
Can you believe they put that thing in writing?
Absolutely.
Nazis always seem to be stupid enough to leave evidence around of their plans.
Where do you think the villain monologue trope comes from? lol
Acting openly horrible has been hugely successful with their base. Maybe it’s gone far enough that all the low information voters out there will start seeing how crazy things have gotten. I know the women in my social circle are pissed, and they’re pretty much all white suburban moms. That’s a group that could have a big effect here.

I'm curious. About what specifically? That "MAGA Manifesto" is huge.
I haven’t exactly interrogated them about all the details, but there is a lot of anger about all the stuff specific to women for sure. I think the Roe overturning primed many women (and people in general) to see that this shit is serious and not just the empty political talk they’re used to mostly ignoring. They are worried it will continue to get worse and make their health care more difficult in general, not just for abortions.
They are correct to worry and it's good they are finally clued in, late as it is.
Not just the Roe overturning, but also the promises that "this won't be a complete ban" and "there will be exceptions" only for there to be complete bans with no exceptions, including unviable pregnancies that threaten the woman's life.
Thank you for sharing. I like seeing people get engaged with stuff that matters, but not at a cost like this.
Agreed. The cost is too much, but once my wife asked me if I’ve heard about project 2025 a few weeks ago after texting her friends, I knew it had hit some sort of critical mass with the normies (which I say with zero negativity attached to it).
Somewhere there is a site that lets you put in topics that concern you, and it pulls up page numbers and quotes from p2025 that fit. I really need to find and bookmark it for linking...
Thank you!
Lemmy hug of death? I see a Heroku app down page.
Looks like that dev haven't kept it up but I've seen 2 other people announce working on it
Would appreciate that link too if you find it again
I've read 103 pages so far... Nothing worth noting as extreme in this document. The left (not everyone) is just fkin stupid, ignorant, and parroting chit. No different than calling Trump Hitler, a dictator, a Nazi, a racist, a fascist etc..
I get the tactic though.
It's election year. They needed to fear monger, so they chose "Project 2025". They needed to race bait, so they needed to find a story anywhere in America about a White cop shooting a non-violent Black person - Sonya Massey. BLM isn't falling for their chit. They've caught on.
Leftist tactics are played out, same ol fkin moves as before.
Keep reading, then delete this comment when you realize how fucking stupid you sound 🤣
It's always fascinating watching people on the wrong side of history spin and justify the desires and actions of conservatives throughout the world throughout history.
Like leftists and the would be Trump assassin?
BTW he was a leftist POS degenerate afterall. They've discovered his Gab social account. How about Ava Kris Tyson, how the leftist are making excuses and rationalizing the actions of that degenerate chomo? Hope he goes to prison and gets proper justice.
Got a source?
Oh look. It's the guy centrists imagine when someone says they don't support genocide.
Wait.. re-word your comment because I have absolutely no idea wtf you just typed out.
No.
I'm surprised they're not trying to sell it.
They haven't figured out a way to fit the whole thing on a shoe.
Just you wait.
The heritage foundation LOVES smelling their own farts.
I mean they do seem like a Saturday morning cartoon villain just monologuing their evil plan because they think they have the hero down for the count.
Worse, they think they are the heroes.
