LOL what? I was at both and this take on it is dumb. It is very grass roots. I saw American flags, both right side up and upside down, Mexican flags, Palestinian flags, LGBTQ flags, and more. No Democratic party flags. Yes, frogs, axolotls, spongebobs and Santa's. You know, democracy.
Anybody who share the same noble values should be allowed
I believe that The No Kings Movement has three fundamental tasks – 1) to assure that the Democratic Party does not gain control of the coalition, 2) to expand the coalition to include those without an institutional voice (the poor, the unhoused, the unregistered and non-voters, and most importantly, the millions of undocumented US residents at risk for MAGA’s genocidal zeal). The third task is the most difficult and subsumes the goal of limiting the influence of the Democratic Party. 3) The No Kings Day project must take the critical jump from protest to civil disobedience.
Nice to see they remembered that MAGA is a part of the problem.
I'm not a big fan of the Democratic party, but I wouldn't put stopping them as the number one goal.
I went to a No Kings protest with a couple thousand people. It didn't seem partisan in the least to me. I saw 0 signs supporting any politician. All I saw was anti fascist and anti oligarchical messaging.
I saw nothing whatever to do with the Democratic party at any of the protests I went to.
Article has a point. No kings should embrace local activists who are actually doing things on the ground rather than the corporate politicians who got us in this mess in the first place.
Also be nice to see it turn into kind of a grassroots movement rather than acting as a relief valve for political action.
At my No King's, a politician made their request for us to vote for them. I will consider it, as they dared to be amongst the plebian rabble, rather than the ivory halls of the bluebloods.
Isnt no kings specifically to under mine trump so democrats and retake power and the country doesn't keep imploding? Why would you remove the political party from it, makes no sense.
Lmao, what? This is a really dumb take and sounds like a desperate maga, tbh. They didn't like hearing speeches from dems. Just go for a walk with the rest of the protestors.
Uh, no. It is a grass roots thing that the Democrats are on board with. They aren't much better, but at least they actually want to govern, not have a KKK rally and complain about randos on social media making them feel bad. You have two fucking options, pick the lesser evil, please!!! Or make a better government. Just fucking do something! The whole waiting for someone else to save you thing was cute at first, but pick your fucking selves off the ground and stop having a tantrum like a two year old.
Yep, what is it they say: stronger divided than united? Makes total sense.
The biggest issue with No King's, at least out of my perspective is that it is only centered around Trump and his cronies, and doesn't actually target the system that keeps churning out people like Trump, produces them and puts them into power. Americans believe that Trump happened to them like a natural disaster would, and that they were sadly just ill prepared. They fail to see and correctly point out that the system thrives on people like Trump and actively pursues putting them into positions of power. Until that isn't addressed, these protests will bring about no material change.
Oh look, more disinformation and division mongering.
And its posted by a dbzer0. Of course.
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
Yes, democrats are being pussies. More action less strong letters
It's not a resistance movement. It's an echo chamber parade.
Resistance against what?
