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

    The Dems in 2025 are the people who lost the presidency to the most incompetent man in the world. Twice. I do not think it’s smart to trust them to be the stewards of what seems to be shaping up to be the primary resistance movement.

      As much as I hate the liberal purity test culture, you’ve hit the nail on the head. As much as the movement should use any and all available allies, people really shouldn’t forget this point when the smoke settles

        I only see right wingers demanding support for policy that is both immoral and electorally dumb complaining about “liberal purity tests”.

            ???

            It would help if you got more specific; name the policy in question.

            Most recent complaint about purity tests and circular firing squads I’ve seen was over the purity test of not being a warcrininal with a totemkomf tattood on your chest. Before that it was trying to silence anyone trying to stop the dems from choosing wildly unpopular policy, that ultimately got Trump elected.
