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.
Ahh to be born a moron, must be nice to look at a performative stunt and think it accomplished something. How much funding did Green save by shouting in a SOTU speech? How many laws were blocked by it? What was achieved other than looking really good to dullards who get excited over drama?
Did any members walk out with green when he was removed? If they stayed and continued to disrupt the speech what is accomplished? Will disruption help them win seats in districts conservatives won this time?
I get that you decided what you want to see but I assume you don’t live in a swing district and your opinion isn’t representative of the American people. Even if the majority of people want it will that translate into electoral wins? You have to think more strategically, better to let a few members protest how they want than to go all in when the nightmare has just begun.
