To be fair, the Democratic Party doesn't really have a leadership problem. It has a why is it in my interest to stick my neck out for you the American citizen when you already failed to do so for them in Nov & continue to fail to do so. You are asking them to be brave, but we the citizens aren't
We're pretending protesting only when we have time off & clinging to the idea that we'll have free & fair elections in 2026 is enough while we ask dems to stick their necks out. This isn't rocket science, we the American people are the ones that failed in Nov & we're the ones that need to step up
How? Organize, organize, organize, on the state/local level. We need to basically prevoke the Trump admin to act against us early. IE: Risk. Atm they don't have full control of the DOJ/Military but that will come in time. So we need to prevoke them
Disruptive protests haven't historically been America's thing. Certainly not in our lifetime. Everyone wants a clean/easy solution without any risk. Doesn't exist, went out the window on November 5th. Organize like this is Germany before 30 June to 2 July 1934, because it is.
But this goes back to the last administration; Merrick Garland' inaction, Biden administration's and congress's inability to have a defense for P2025, a wishy-washy response to Gaza, Biden dropping out late. They dropped a lot of balls, too. And what about the reps/senators that did win?
Okay, couldn't help but make an actual extract of the original file, just for quality of the video. It so clearly and efficiently illustrates democrats right now it's both hilarious and painful to watch.
