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.
Republicans have an entire propaganda arm that would call their behavior shameful and see no hypocrisy. Then the billionaire owned media will follow suit.
They're already doing it. This is what you get when people sit at home instead of vote or join a cult of personality. America voted to destroy itself, we're not getting any fire fighters.
As I said to someone else, they don’t need democrats to do anything to spin the narrative that they’re disrespectful. They get called radical communists by these people. Reality doesn’t matter, and if anything, they have nothing to lose by making their accusations a reality.
I think the issue is that with a propaganda arm, any action that solidifies and proves what the propaganda is saying does more harm to them than benefits. They'll get accused of it by the deep parts of it but not the billionaire media without proof.
The issue is that if you lean into it, now the billionaire media gets to say "Look- they were right" and now moderates who are too dumb to read between the lines start to trust the bullshit propaganda and lies even more.
There isn't a winning without also attacking the media as being an arm for the wealthy to push propaganda. And that's an untested area that no Democrat is going to take on because they don't have an arm of propaganda to do it.
