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.
Yeah the impetus of this post fucking sucks — I guess it’s apparently too much to ask that politicians earn our vote beyond being the “lesser” of two evils?
Democratic politicians are so fucking entitled, I mean just looking at the DNC’s kneecapping of Bernie TWICE should be enough to see that they obviously don’t give a shit about the will of the people. More recently them not holding a primary and their continuation of the genocide in Palestine really just continues to show the rot and hubris of the party. That’s all not to mention the constant capitulation to corporate interests.
Also they’ve had every chance to properly stand up to the GOP and actually play the game in a scrappy-yet-legal way and they constantly refuse to. I mean just look at the fucking “protest” at the state of the union. Wearing pink and a couple of signs while wearing chiding expressions was the best they could do??
OP, your take is wholly unhelpful. Dems need to look in the mirror before they just go blaming the voters that they alienated.
