And I still see people dooming about Rasmussen polls despite the fact that they’ve been booted from most polling agragates a while ago because of their terrible methodology and terrible transparency

FYI, you can still volunteer and donate to campaigns and such from other states. Republicans sure as hell do

There is quite a bit of time between election and inauguration. Election is early November, inauguration is in early January

Even if dems win the senate it doesn’t mean they’ll necessarily replace 100% of everyone either. Just opens the options to replace some people. I’m sure the cabinet members would be informed of how likely they are to keep their job

Note that a good chunk of the poll, people selected neutral which may very well still be a “I don’t know much about this”. Familiar can also mean “I have heard the name before”

This is if dems lose the senate control. New cabinet members have to be approved by the senate

So by keeping old cabinet members, you avoid having to go through the senate again and being blocked by republicans

For anyone who has a bit of time, I highly encourage volunteering for the campaign. Many of the methods of volunteering are about educating voters

Find opportunities to volunteer for dems around you

EDIT: looks like you might not be in the US, but still recommend volunteering for progressive parties around you if you can

The new poll does not distinguish between unsure of how one feels and never heard of project 2025. (I did dig into the poll document itself too)

The poll looking at number familiar with project 2025 was months ago from a different poll

Given the stark polling, I’d imagine most of the unsure people likely just haven’t heard of Project 2025 / don’t know what’s in it

I think that’s misunderstanding the goals of those who advocate for it. Animal rights is the movement. Veganism is advocated as a means to achieve that end by stopping the support of the harm within animal agriculture & factory farming

Note: the original article was about people doing sticky notes. It’s pretty easy to clean those up without issue

Do most/many social movements not do the all three at the same time? For instance, demanding that voting rights acts should be passed while simultaneously trying to nudge people and politicians to support it

Not OP, but setting aside animal rights for a moment, the rational given here is effectively an argument against all social movements

Saying that one should not ever push or nuge someone towards what you think is right regardless of how well argued or how much of a point that you have

Not OP, but that’s not exactly accurate. The article itself is much less dramatic than the headline. The article acknowledges how trump’s policies would absolutely be worse

Mainly talks about implicit support of factory farming in campaign stops and the like. But also notes that it’s not limited to Walz and far worse on the Republican side

Kind of wish they just ran with a different headline on this

Fixed

Be the change you want to see! Find people around you to join in on something like that

There’s also some stickers about project 2025 on Harris’s campaign store if that interests others here

There are still some other things that can be done federally to help. If they change the size of the house (determined by legislation not constitution), it also changes electoral votes for states. Electoral votes are based on house + senate seats per state

On its own that makes the electoral college much closer to representing the population of each state

I would also presume it likely would also make the popular vote compact way closer or cross the needed majority of electoral votes. Though I haven’t done or seen any analysis on that directly so not 100% sure because the ways seats are appropriated can be funky and non-linear

Yet it’s “too late to do a debate” according to trump…

? Walz has gotten tons of progressive policies through with a single seat majority in his state

Gauranteed paid family and medical leave, universal free lunches, passed protections for trans people, put over a billion into affordable housing development, taxes corporations more, expanded union protections, and more

Not only that, but

He was a faculity advisor of a gay-straight alliance in the 90s when that was not very socially acceptable at all

He’s got a strong pro-union background

He has not acted like a republican

When I first saw it, I thought it was in suport of him until I realized who was posting it

Same thing for “all lives matter” where I thought it was someone agreeing with black lives matter the first time I heard it. Didn’t realize someone could get so close to the point and miss it there

Low numbers =/= full ban

Read the link and look at what they are asking for. They’re asking for a designation change to make the process simpler/easier for gaza refugees

Not to say we shouldn’t also be doing that, but that the link does not say there is a full ban as trump is suggesting
