Imagine a big-big tent party made up of the CPC, LPC, and NDP, broken down in about that order of numbers. That's our Democrats. That by itself might tell you why they never really get much done. They're always at their own throat more than anything else. Our old guard is much more CPC:
So today, faced with an actual crisis on their hands — they really don't know how to respond. You can see the ones actually doing things: AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Rob Garcia, etc — they're our NDP equivalents.
The party proper is more concerned with optics and messaging. Bc they can't prioritize.
They've never really had to. They're a "reactive," party. They see their job as cleaning up after the Republicans, not necessarily stopping them. So when they probably NEED to stop them from doing something — they're at a loss.
I see only a few fighters like Crockett & AOC who are leaning into the fight. Some governors eg Pritzker are really stepping up and others (eg Newsom) will. But I think this will come down to us, the People. Look at the backlash that's already happening...in magaland
One advantage we have in Canada is that our election will be several months behind yours. Thus we can witness the damage done by Trump and Trump wannabes. What is crazy is that our left wing party (NDP) wanted to force an election in January which would have guaranteed a conservative win.
I don’t disagree with that statement. I hope Canada may be a bit smarter with our vote…but I’m not convinced that musk won’t interfere in our elections as well….it is very concerning

Since the 90s, they've had control and their plan is "be nice, have decorum, don't rock the boat, focus on bringing in demographic votes."
The party proper is more concerned with optics and messaging. Bc they can't prioritize.
And they mysteriously vanish.
