Time for Democrats to Pitch Their Own ‘Contract with America’
Thebulwark.com ^

Posted on 04/07/2025 8:06:20 AM PDT by DIRTYSECRET

Call it “Campaign for a Better America,” or “Contract to Restore America,” or any other phrase that taps into the anger and longing to once again be the respect-worthy America of reason, order, laws, freedoms, science, stability, pride, strength, and (sorry, Elon) empathy. They could even go with “Be Best America 2026,” cribbing from Melania Trump’s ironic anti-bullying initiative during the Bully-in-Chief’s first term.

We need to be ready for stuff like this. The right wording and spokesperson could put us on defense and a rapid response team will not do. Another covid or Katrina episode is something they'll always use to their advantage. I hope our higher-ups are more ready than we are.

1) more taxes
2) more transsexual children
3) less white people
I think that about covers it.

Good news. Nobody is listening to them and ‘26 will come in the wake of our 250th birthday.

I love how they are simply assuming that they will win everything in 2026. That over confidence will hurt them. That’s a pretty long time from now, politically speaking.

The Bulwark? These spineless punks are still at it-even after the USAID funding dried up?

Just another fart in the wind. Move along.

America of reason, order, laws, freedoms, science, stability, pride, strength,

Dems have been working to destroy all that as long as I can remember.

The 1994 Contract was put out there on Sept 28. That’s a 5-6 week election ‘season’. JD should make himself debate available every Sunday during that time. Any rat POTUS wannabe would be happy to take him on. Go up against ‘60 Minutes’.

Yeah, they’ve failed and astoundingly people are okay with the stock drop, so I think Trump has this in the bag. They might be looking at ActBlue getting shut down and some politicians getting indicted.

Since the Clinton Era they've been waging a "Contract ON America". Does that count?

Other than hate Trump and now Musk too, what is the Democrat’s agenda? Obviously they support continuing DEI, unfettered illegal immigration and higher taxes on “the rich”. They also support biological males competing in women’s athletics, indoctrinating kids in a radical gender ideology , using CRT in the classroom and preaching America is bad on all ways. It would seem that this agenda was thoroughly rejected by a majority of Americans in the last election.

If the Democrats want a comeback they need to drop the Trump is a Nazi/ fascist rhetoric and come up with a reasonable agenda spelling out how they would handle things. They need to face the reality that Trump is president for the next four years and their only options for changing that are impeachment, assassination or an armed coup. The first option is very unlikely to succeed and latter two options would lead to a bloody civil war.

Yeah, it could be great fun to create the list for them. 😆

And they would agree with it!

The Democrats are none of those unless by "pride" they mean "perversion".

“Bulwark” is made up of “principled conservatives”. And Neo-Cons and perverts.
