It remains remarkable that a group committed to “No Kings!” not only refuses to endorse impeachment but actively discourages other members from doing so. When it comes to accountability, Indivisible National seems to have fallen prey to the same malaise that has infected the 119th Congress. Like Congress, Indivisible discusses the anti-constitutional and illegal actions of the administration at length. Like Congress, its leaders fundraise heavily off of those abuses of power. And like Congress, Indivisible has simply refused to take any further action. To critics, the organization has transformed into a hollow shell of its former self, hoping no one pushes too hard on the facade.

The American people want Trump gone. Another September 2026 poll indicated that more than 70 percent of Democrats want to see Trump out of office by almost any means necessary: impeachment, 25th amendment, military coup, or death by natural causes. (Only the “assassination” option did not see a majority of respondents feeling positive.) Respondents were also asked whether they were “more likely to support a candidate in a Democratic party primary that regularly criticizes the Democratic Party establishment.” Nearly half of respondents agreed with that statement, with just 27 percent disagreeing—and these are dyed-in-the-wool Democrats, with 70 percent holding a positive view of the party.

In its most recent guide, Indivisible asks its members to consider whether actions they are taking “strengthen future Democratic candidates, weaken future Republican opponents, and build the base of involved, active people who will stay involved next year.” These polling results suggest that what engages voters, while strengthening both Democratic candidates and the Democratic party, is more than just a robust critique of the status quo. It’s a full-throated demand for accountability and a willingness to fight for it.

  • Oh, okay. I've definitely heard that argument before. I guess I was hoping for some actual evidence though. I definitely see what you're saying, it just seems like without a lot of strong organizing there isn't really a great alternative. In the context of the article Indivisible certainly seems to be falling in line with the democratic establishment, but I think there is a burden of proof we haven't hit to conclude it's malicious controlled opposition.

    Also, you don't actually need to organize a strike yourself. General Strike US has been going for a year or two now and has almost half a million people signed up. They're waiting for 10.5 million to sign strike cards before declaring a date, so maybe your efforts might be better served evangelizing for them than starting your own thing?
