This is basically why she failed on her presidential run.

But it’s either this or project 2025.

Project 2025 will happen regardless of who is in charge. The democrats haven’t stopped a thing during Biden, why do you think they would this cycle?

From the list:

Tried to deny a transgender inmate healthcare and endangered trans women by forcing them into mens prisons, leading to the rape and torture of at least one trans inmate.

The Democrats are, at best, passively complicit in Project 2025, at worse active participants.

But there’s a deeper issue: as long as your vote is guaranteed, they have no reason to ever listen to you, or do anything for you, ever.

You cannot tell them to protect queer people, or stop a genocide, or do anything else you want, in return. You have no leverage. The Democrats have free reign to write policy for their wealthy donors while feigning helplessness to you. In California, Kamala Harris was not only cartoonishly evil, she was corrupt. She neglected to prosecute Steve Mnuchin for ruining thousands of people’s lives; instead, she accepted his money. These people do not mean well. They are not working class. They serve their own — big business owners and landlords, investors, political elites, themselves — at your expense.

I’m not saying conditional voting will bring any radical change — for that we need to get off our asses and strike and organize — but it’s at least more sane than unconditional voting.

I mean even if what everyone else is saying and the dems somehow put up a fight against project 2025 (they won’t) it will just become project 2029. They are not an anti fascist party

What makes you think someone who supports everything on this list doesn’t also support project 2025?
