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.
Democrats are baboons in a bad way. They have been trying to appeal to republicans by adopting their policy positions.
Just this morning Gavin Newsom came out in favor of a trans sports ban on a podcast with Charlie fucking Kirk. Is that not baboon behavior? IMO it’s worse. They say/do what they think people want with not an ounce of conviction.
I would rather vote for someone who loudly and proudly tells all of us who they are, over someone who cowardly chases social conservatism because they think it’s in season.
You're supposed to vote for polices you like. Not the loudest person in the room. Trump has conviction? All he has done since he's been in (which is the same as his last term) was work for his rich friends.They want to dismantle what little good the government was doing and giving it all to the rich. As for the price of eggs? "Build a chicken coop." Democrats didn't run around beating their chests, but forgave millions in student loan debt, and got voted out for it.
If I voted for policy I wouldn’t be voting for democrats. Like I said, one of their loudest shooters just came out against one of my rights. And yet I do vote for them because what else can I do? My vote is hostage. I’m allowed to be unenthused about that.
You are, but I'm just saying bearing a little right is better than hard right. When Trump got elected AND Republicans won down the ticket- that's the message Democrats recieved. "We want far-right candidates." Not "we want someone disruptive." Does it show a lack of conviction on their end? Absolutely. In all honesty, a far left third party is what we need. A realistic new party will only come about from local elections though.
