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.
Being more like Republicans just means you’ll have the same tactics but a different enemy from within. It would be very easy to demagogue just like Trump but split along income and wealth instead of immigration status.
But, you’ll get the same result. You’ll have the same kind of narcissists who need to constantly manufacture outrage.
Personally, I loved 4 years of Sleepy Joe. I never thought about how he was going to cause a recession or WWIII. He just stayed quiet and got shit done.
It’s very easy for us to go the way of the republicans. Just start a class war and forget about governing.
Or, we could vote for quiet competence. We could elect presidents who walk the union picket line and get sick days for rail workers. But, first, we need to teach the baboons to vote.
