Summary
Frustrated by Democratic leaders’ failure to counter Donald Trump’s swift policy changes, grassroots liberals are pushing for a Tea Party-style insurgency within their party.
Anger is mounting over leadership’s lack of urgency, ineffective messaging, and perceived disconnect from voters.
Activists and strategists argue Democrats must shift from defending institutions to telling human-centered stories that resonate emotionally.
Some are calling for primary challenges and new leadership to counter Trump’s influence. Reform efforts are already underway, as progressives seek a more aggressive and responsive Democratic Party.
Jesus. Fucking. Christ.
Stop treating your parties as if they were companies. These marketing terms make me sick. “Human centered stories that resonate emotionally”? What about thinking about the humans and the emotions they are feeling such as fear and desperation?
“Okay, but how can we monetize those feelings to harmonize with our end-state goals?”
“We have campaign funds to raise, quotas to hit, and money to be made.”
Exactly. They should simply act like leaders do, show the example by actively resisting, blocking everything they can. Simple as that. The non-millionaires in the party know this, but the leadership is sooooo disconnected they don’t realize what their constituents want.
