My point is largely focused on not doing large counter events specifically, Schumer doing a stupid little media circuit at worst will annoy people but if they did a counter rally and brought out Schumer then that’ll piss people off. Fact of the matter is the establishment Dems are either unwilling or incapable of holding against Trump and the Republicans, words must be backed by actions and all people see is capitulation. Mind you I am of the opinion that the Dems generally don’t have enough votes to do much, but to me that seems like an issue that should have the response of say expelling Fetterman from the party maybe having one of the younger members punch McConnell IDK.
Like I said earlier this last stupid shit at the Whitehouse was massively unpopular teens for the Republicans single digits for the Democrats. Frankly letting it sit and be visible while calling it stupid, expensive, and corrupt while not giving a damn about the actual events is far more impactful than if they did a counter thing elsewhere. Same will probably be even more true on July 4th especially as shit continues to worsen since Trump is doing the circus without the bread which generally just pisses people off.
Point is the Dem establishment have created an issue via their own stupidity and weak willed actions that has directly fucked their ability to respond. Had they come out the gates swinging people would be a lot more forgiving but between the ratchet effect and bipartisan bullshit on their side they’ve made themselves impotent, individual members can get away with proper responses but the party as a whole can’t. Well they could but ego, corruption, and stupidity wont allow them to say do a media event with just the progressive caucus and their internal allys.
