When I was involved with writing the climate and environment plans of a Democratic candidate for president in 2020, I noted that lots of candidates had excellent plans for a whole bunch of things. So where is the Democrat’s Project 2029 to implement things that make people’s lives better?

Some people are cynical about what Cory Booker is doing, but I think it's important in the same way that climate protests are important. These events create a moment of crisis and direct our attention to what's going on.
Plus, what Booker has been saying is interesting. I'm super impressed.

This is true but I think it more important the Bernie/Walz/AOC events in GOP districts get the attention.
Democrats—various House members, Tim Walz, etc.—have been engaged in a campaign to highlight Republicans’ fear of their own constituents by holding appearances in their districts. Now, after his epic fold, Schumer is shying away from appearances in NYC, as wall as other blue states.
"Events are being rescheduled"...uhh for when?
I don't think the people that planned to protest are just going to forget to protest later on.

In a sane country, charging $5m for access to the president, or providing way for foreign nationals to anonymously donate millions of dollars to the president, would result in instant impeachment.
