We need to swiftly transform No Kings from a Democratic Party spectacle to a grass roots resistance movement.

      There is a non-negligeable number of people convinced that all of the Democrat Platform are policies they don’t stand for. They think Obamacare was just Romneycare. Ideological puritans who would rather everyone abstain from participating elections than pick harm minimalization option.

      This ideology gets furtherd and promoted by foreign psyops who frequently post on DB0 and Lemmy ML, much in the same vein that Russian operations promoted Bernie Sanders on FaceBook after he had already lost the primary and asked people to vote for Hillary in the general.

      Basically everything is burning and some people think adding fuel is better than water.

      That would be a good argument if the Democrats hadn’t paved the way for Trump. We need new politics and new systems.

        The only people who paved the way for trump were the people who didnt vote against trump and the right wing media machine. There is no looking at the two platforms and think its a hard choice. If your values lean left the choice is easy.
