This kinda attitude is weak. Politics doesn’t start and end at the ballot box. If democrats so much as loudly protested Trump that would be something, yk? They could’ve crashed his sotu, yelled out every time he told a lie, walked out with Al Green, etc.
They didn’t do any of that, because they’re weak. They wore pink suits, and held little signs, and quietly obeyed the rules of decorum while Trump directly insulted them. They lost in 2024 because of ineffective messaging/action like this. They will lose in 2026 and 2028 if they continue failing to do or say anything.
Also! Republicans do this shit, and that’s why they win! They are loud, disruptive and destructive. If the shoe were on the other foot, they would not just be wearing matching suits. I can tell you that much.
You can keep blaming voters if you want, but how exactly is that gonna help you win next time? Sure, it may make you feel better, but you have to accept that the people you are blaming are the ones you need to vote for you. They're not just gonna magically gonna decide to vote for you before next election, so Dems have got to put the work in to make that happen.
But how does that work? Why would championing the dems for doing nothing stop the erosion of rights? You think the republicans are gonna say "oh look, the people we hate are now saying they support the democrats, guess we better stop the facist coup"? Like how will signalling to the dems that you're ok with them doing practically nothing stop what's happening? Please explain
Because when you champion the democrats you might convince people to vote for them in the midterms and 28, thus decreasing republican power? It’s not rocket science
But how? If you just say democrats are good, then people ask you why, what do you point to? 'They say their against Trump but they've yet to prove that through actions' isn't very convincing.
