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

    So you guys WANT the republicans? It’s wild that Trump and the GOP are actively demolishing democracy and you guys still see the Dems as to e enemy. Right wing propaganda and social media rotted your entire country’s already rotted brains

      they literally are the first hurdle into solving the republican problem.

      and while i do appreciate that they are FINALLY doing something i can point to and say it’s a good start (holding fast to their demands on the shut down) they otherwise hold the rest of us back. they need to stop harming the chances of progressive candidates in their own party, stop sueing to block passed ballot initiative for progressive action. stop their actions to help their corporate doaners, and actually pass progressive laws

        Look, the most third party senators the USA has ever had was 11 in 1899. Even when the parties dissolved or rearranged it was always Demcoratic Republicans v Federalists, Jacksonians v AntiJacksonions, Democrats v Whigs, Democrats v Opposition, Democrats v Republicans.

        Last congress there were 4 Independents and it lead to Republicans sweeping the 2024 election.

        This is a two party system. One of them wants a King and the other does not. Democrats are the only way to progress. The only way. Singular.
