I attended the downtown local No Kings Day festivities in Northampton, Massachusetts, and estimate that some 1,500 people came out. I liked the crowds but
We need to swiftly transform No Kings from a Democratic Party spectacle to a grass roots resistance movement.
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.
I’m glad it didn’t happen where you live. But you’re saying this “take is dumb” because you didn’t experience it at two out of thousands of protests, which is like saying, “since it didn’t happen to me, it didn’t happen.”
I saw the democratic establishment propaganda at my local protest. That’s not to say that the protests are bad, but having a party that’s right of center glob onto what is essentially a populist movement and use it as a campaign rally is kind of disheartening.
We need to be voting for actual leftists. Whether they run as a democrat, a green, or an independent.
