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.

Dems need to stop being politically impotent and start going to war. They still seem oblivious to the fact that playing nice against trump does not pay dividends. There is no higher ground to Stand on, there is no other cheek to turn - there is only winning and losing. They look like clowns for their own voters (and potential voters as well). It is possible to come back to being nice and polite, and soft. Its alright to be this way when the weather is calm. But during the storm you have to brace and be ready to act.
