  • >The Heritage Foundation has published new editions in its Mandate for Leadership series coinciding with each presidential election since 1981. Mandate for Leadership: A Conservative Promise is the ninth report in the series and was published in April 2023, earlier than any past releases. Heritage refers to the publication as a “policy bible”

    they’ve been doing the same shit for 40 years. calling it project 2025 was just a way of staying in Vogue. many think tanks are making projects and naming them after future years.

    The heritage foundation don’t scare me, at least not anymore than the Democrats.









  • on the one hand there is gerrymandering which has the effect of splitting up voting blocks.

    on the other hand there is the lie that votes are owned by or owed to only two parties, and any vote outside of those two parties is stolen by the so-called third parties.

    in fact, the votes belong to voters, and it is up to them to decide who they want to vote for, and it is up to the politicians to try to win those votes.



  • >If splitting votes didn’t matter, there wouldn’t be so much effort put into gerrymandering.

    you’re falling prey here to a logical fallacy called equivocation. splitting is used in two distinct senses in electoral politics, and you are taking one of its uses and purporting that it supports the validity of the other use. it does not AND the other use is misleading at best, but i believe it’s genuinely dishonest and manipulative.
