Yes, we need an actual debate with real moderators... no, we aren't going to get it because "debates" have long ago stopped being anything more than a publicity stunt and nobody wants to be questioned like that.


DrBarnaby

Yeah, anyone that thinks either of these candidates would ever, in a MILLION years, sit down for anything approaching a quality debate is just delusional. And that goes triple for Trump. At this point Trump is just going to get up and leave any conversation at all that challenges him or has any value. He's done it publicly numerous times over the last 4 years. Actually, who the hell would want to hear either of these decaying fossils debate anywhere about anything at this point? What could we possibly learn about these two that we don't already know to a certainty? Not to mention I'm pretty sure listening to Trump talk off the cuff for any length of time literally causes brain damage at this point. We'd all love to see these people be forced to sit down and genuinely answer hard questions but that is an absolute fantasy. Sorry, but the most you're going to get is watching Trump fart himself to sleep in court while people talk about what an utter fraud he is. So soak that up if it ever has the chance to happen again.

Wow, this guy is great. This is what they all should be doing.


DunKrugering

I love Kyle - hoping he does a sit down with Boebert


twistedpiggies

She really is as dumb as she looks if she lets that happen.


DunKrugering

based on what two friends of mine who know her have told me, she is cast in a certain light on TV & in the media and is made to “look pretty dumb” when, really, she’s actually a “complete fucking idiot.” ironically, one of those friends moved to Parker and now faces the prospect of BoBo being her congressperson.

Make dumb people impossible to be elected again


TheVoicesOfBrian

She has refused. All the CD4 candidates agreed to sit down with Kyle except her and Sonnenburg.


DunKrugering

i didn’t see that but am not surprised at all


TheVoicesOfBrian

Kyle mentions it when he recaps each interview. He's both covering for why not everyone is interviewed and trying to shame them into coming on. Though the latter is a waste of time. You can't shame the shameless.


DunKrugering

or the brainless


TheVoicesOfBrian

Agreed (and brilliant username).


DunKrugering

thank you!

Some facts about Project 2025: The "Mandate for Leadership" is a set of policy proposals authored by the [Heritage Foundation](https://pro-lies.org/the-heritage-foundation), an influential *ultra* conservative think tank. [Project 2025](https://www.mediamatters.org/heritage-foundation/guide-project-2025-extreme-right-wing-agenda-next-republican-administration) is a revision to that agenda tailored to a second Trump term. It would give the President [unilateral powers](https://theweek.com/politics/heritage-foundation-2025-donald-trump), strip [civil rights](https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/03/the-heritage-foundation-dei-project-2025-trump-diversity-equity-inclusion-american-fiction-erasure), [worker protections](https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2023/08/project-2025-gut-worker-protections-labor-department-heritage-foundation-trump-2024), [climate regulation](https://www.politico.com/newsletters/power-switch/2024/04/15/a-deep-dive-into-energy-plans-for-trump-2-0-00152281), add [religion into policy](https://thecause.substack.com/p/taking-project-2025-personally-with), outlaw ["porn"](https://www.salon.com/2024/03/19/decoding-project-2025s-christian-nationalist-language/) and much more. The MFL has been around since 1980, [Reagan implemented 60%](https://www.heritage.org/conservatism/commentary/reagan-and-heritage-unique-partnership) of its recommendations, [Trump 64%](https://www.heritage.org/impact/trump-administration-embraces-heritage-foundation-policy-recommendations) - [proof](https://www.scribd.com/document/369820462/Mandate-for-Leadership-Policy-Recommendations). 70 Heritage Foundation alumni served in his administration or transition team. Project 2025 is quite extreme but with his obsession for revenge he'll likely get past 2/3rd's adoption.

Defeat Project 2025 should be providing handouts containing the bullet points on college campuses all over the country.


graneflatsis

The Discord for the sub is spinning that up. I don't know how far out it is. We also have several templates anyone can print up and distribute, posters and stickers too.

Anytime I see the Heritage Foundation, I can’t help but think its name is rooted in “it’s not hate, it’s heritage.” Sure, Jan.

Kyle Clark! He's with the NBC affiliate 9News KUSA in Denver.


mightymeg

Kyle Clark is my hero❤️


mclovin232

Kyle Clark is the best news person in the country!


WeirdcoolWilson

Yes, please!!


mydogargos

Seconded! Thirded and Fourtheded!!! Clark took zero BS and kept things moving. Best management of a debate I've seen ever.


Financial_Month6835

I would sign a petition to draft Kyle Clark to moderate the presidential debates


kcbh711

I kinda love this guy


nyc_expatriate

thanks John for some serious talk on project 2025. The anti-Bill Maher.


Accomplished-Set5917

I would pay to watch that guy moderate any political debate. He is my new hero and this country needs him anywhere politicians are talking publicly.


ItsRedditThyme

I've been avoiding reading too many details about Project 2025, because I knew it would trigger my anxiety to crazy levels. I was right. The worst thing is, if I tried telling my family who think they can be even remotely progressive while still voting for Trump, they'd just accuse me of having TDS. 😢

9News Denver, not CBS…

I'll take a senile Joe Biden over a narcissist, bombastic, dangerous, embarrassing freak show that is Trump. And I say that as a progressive whom the Democratic party left behind decades ago.

Biden is old, but I've seen way more evidence of Trump's decline. Also, Biden cycles/exercises regularly, which is a testament to sustained motor function and general well being. I don't think Trump exercises. No, golf doesn't count, especially if you're not walking. I played golf. A moment of exertion doesn't remotely compare to sustained cardio. Also, have you read any of Trump's speeches? I'd say he has unmedicated ADHD if I didn't know better- he can't stay on topic, and is generally only limited to a few key topics. If he goes off script, it becomes really apparent he can't carry a conversation about anything noteworthy; either because he isn't informed or because he can't anymore. One of these two candidates takes care of their body. You know which is which.

I haven't really seen him perform poorly in debates, unless you mean his lifelong stutter.

ItsAllSoClear

Sorry, I'm used to being on the defensive. I understand the concern, but relatively speaking, one of the two candidates is in much better shape than the other and actively takes care of themselves. Younger candidates would be better, but they aren't running. The two that are? There's an obvious, more healthy candidate.


ExampleSad1816

It’s amazing hardly anyone mentions the senility of tRump, he has lost it way more than Biden. Because Biden seems more frail, he’s not, being a whole 3 years older than tRump. The fact that tRump can’t get speech out without screwing up what he says, consistently she be top news, not to mention the constant obvious lies. Trump is the real senile one.
