'Democrats have a plan'
She lost me right there. As a Democrat, I feel confident in stating that we have never had such a thing.
It is a truth so old that Will Rogers was cracking jokes about it 100 years ago.
- There was exactly one moment in history where Democrats had a plan and that was the New Deal.
  Everything else has just been wild floundering and taking credit for other people's activism.
  
  TBF the New Deal was a stolen idea too, so…
  Stolen from a union organizer, too, if I remember correctly.
- No she's right. The plan is to abandon leftist constituents and try to court right wing voters, at least for the DNC. We will never have a real left wing party in the US :(
  
  Not without substantial electoral reform. Which puts us in the "chicken and the egg" scenario of not getting reform with the existing 2 party duopoly, and not breaking that duopoly without reform.
- The Progressives have a plan, Republicans around me used to talk about how Hillary was going to implement it. Putting left agenda in schools and such. That must be why Republicans are against public education.
- Yeah we're essentially NPCs

Well that's not good, if Republicans are accusing others of interfering with the election then that means Republicans are thinking of doing that thenselves.
- Oh, they're not thinking of it.
  
  I bet they’re thinking about covering up a big political scandal before an election with an illegal hush money payment. Or maybe they’ll scheme to use fake electors to prevent the verification of the election. Maybe target the vice president to use political power incorrectly. Or maybe they’ll break into our capital building to stop the election from being verified. Or maybe they’ll promote Russian misinformation campaigns.
  Anyone who thinks they won’t be interfering in the election is bananas. They’ll start declaring it fake and rigged a full 2-3 months before it even takes place and the Russian bots will help them do it.
- They done have been.

That plan; show up and vote (hopefully).
- Shhh, you're exposing our top secret plan.
  
  Wannabe dictators hate this one secret trick.

- I'd vote for Ben Schwartz.

Do they, though?
I mean, I guess "put out a benign centrist who doesn't really offend too many people" is a type of plan.
- It worked last time
- It's basically what we have to do over here in the UK every time we want someone other than our own increasingly right-wing major party, who are, or at least have been, disturbingly popular.
  It's been a while since it worked, but we're about to give it a go again next month.

I would be ecstatic if every journalist who talked to mtg or any public menace selling unfounded bullshit conspiracies just kept asking for source? whenever she says anything in public to drive home the point just how one note their song really is.

Is she the "Jewish Space Lasers" one, the "dead brain worms" one or the "vaping in Beatlejuice" one? All these wingnuts are starting to blend together.
- Jewish space lasers.
