Meme party. They are basically begging for a populist uprising.

Bro, *outfit coordination*? Trump could start locking up Dem reps and we’d be talking about how to get arrested in a proper way

Good. Dems can’t afford to be children in the room. This is not to say they can’t be combative in a silly way that will push the young men votes they need.

Democratic voters should publicly confront democratic leaders. Representatives like Jasmine Crockett and Chris Murphy are the only one showing a backbone when the party desperately needs leadership and a direction.

It would be helpful if we, the voting public, also knew why this strategy was a bad idea. I can’t understand what coordinating outfits and holding up signs is meant to do other than reinforce fascist aesthetics of conformity and complacency. Is it based on the expectation that the vibe will seem so totalitarian that people will actually go and vote? Because, if so, that seems hopelessly naive.
WHY BE RESPECTFUL WHEN THE PURPOSE OF THAT SPEECH WAS TO DISRESPECT AND LIE ABOUT YOU? Have some respect for yourselves, you chumps.

The modern Democratic party is not going to come save anyone, they are a captured group of do-nothings who only want to maintain the status quo. Even if they beat MAGA Republicans this time around and win the presidency, they will not fix most of the damage Trump has caused, and they’re incompetency will allow another Republican to walk right into the White House afterwards, and they will finish any work Trump left unfinished.
Of course, you can’t actually primary any of these candidates like Jim Himes because they have massive amounts of campaign funding, media presence, and name recognition. So instead you get to flail helplessly while they scold their youngest congressmen for doing the most inoffensive protest alive. Democrats fecklessness is partially the reason why we have Trump 2, and their continued uselessness will be the reason that America continues to free-fall because they’re vampires taking up the space of an actual liberal party.

Hakeem really fell off. I get that it takes many years to wield power like Pelosi, but bro needs to grow a pair.

It’s absolutely hilarious that the Democrats can see their reputation just completely crater with young men and respond by acting like this. Heaven knows what possessed Newsom to chum it up with Charlie Kirk, as if doing so will do anything other than make everyone laugh at him for being a cuck.
There’s a lot of disagreement on here about the idea of a Democratic Tea Party: between those furious at their complete spinelessness and those who warn that what would arise from this will likely not be to this sub’s liking. But ultimately the anger amongst the Democratic base is real, rising, and not going anywhere. If Democrats just ignore it that is an act of criminal complacency and stupidity.

Okay I’ve played devils advocate but if you’re a congressional Democrat and haven’t recognised that
a) Republicans don’t give a flying fuck about the democratic process
b) Republicans have filled the executive positions required to hypothetically curtail an election and will happily do so
c) Public opinion will remain incredibly important as a final safeguard against such acts
Then get the fuck out of the party. You must be prepared to have a final showdown when Trump utilises the FBI or Justice Department on the next presidential election. Don’t you dare punish any individual Democrats who speak up against what is happening.
We are up against Nazism, act like it you fucking cowards.
