In reply to the discussion: Eric Swalwell Calls On 2028 Democratic Nominees To Pledge To Destroy Trump's 'Monument To Corruption' Ballroom [View all]Martin Eden
(15,065 posts)OBVIOUSLY, we're not talking about a pledge which has already been taken by Democrats who have declared their candidacy for president in the 2028 election. How many have actually declared at this point?
WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT is Swalwell's proposal that there SHOULD BE a stiff litmus test that every Democratic presidential candidate must pledge to demolish Trumps monstrous ballroom.
We're discussing whether or not such a pledge is a good idea, in terms of the effect it may have on the general election. My argument is it would be prominent in Republican narratives that Democrats only want to destroy Trumps legacy, rather than actually help the American people.
As I stated in post #17 that would be a pack of LIES, but it could be effective, given that voters have fallen for so much Repuke BS in the past (with help from corporate media).
Electoral politics aside, I would very much like to see Trumps abominable monument to himself demolished (if built).
