To the editor: If the Democrats need a plan on how to put everyone in the party on board for the next half -period and presidential elections, they must take a page from the republican's play book (“News analysis: 'The party is in ruins'. But some Democrats see reasons for optimism,” August 31). The Heritage Foundation, a group of right -wing experts with ties with the members of the Trump administration, spent years creating the 2025 project. Of course, President Trump said he knew very little about it before being re -elected, although their policies have closely aligned with their objectives to remodel the federal government.
Democrats need their own 2029 project, and should begin by focusing on two things. It is first to undo all the president's executive orders and, when possible, codify the solutions in law, assuming that the majority in Congress can recover at some point. Then, they must focus on how to create laws as railings against all the activities that destroy the rules in which the president could participate.
This should bring all the Democrats, and hopefully other more moderate voters, behind a single goal: to return this country to a point where elected officials work for all and not only for those who voted for them in office. I think we would like to wake up every day and not have to wait and ask ourselves about the next evil, and/or illegal limit, an action that the federal government is taking against us, our friends and our neighbors.

To the editor: Exactly what Democrats have been running for years: “Trump Bad” is the entire message. There are no apologies for all errors and bad behavior (supposedly hidden the decline of the health of then President Biden, anoking Kamala Harris as the non -primary candidate to finally replace it, the mishandling of COVID, which remains in the “gender care” for children, etc.) and especially the poorly indisted administration of blue states and certifications such as California and Los Angeles. Democrats need significant rethinking and new common sense policies.
This criticism is a lifelong Democrat who will not vote again to the Democrats until something smarter than “Trump Bad” is presented. Are the democrats chosen capable of common sense? I still don't see signs.

To the editor: What is the alternative (“Letters to the editor: If Democratic leaders want support, they need to take measures on Gaza”, August 27)? Voting for a third mandate of Trump (not quite outside the scope of the possibility, with the way things go)? Vote for Vice President JD Vance? Do you feel trapped between a rock and a hard place? I am certainly.
While we expect a viable alternative, what can we do, except vote for the current Democrats lot? And they know we have some other options.
