Summary

Democrats should shift from attempts to remove Trump to turning the White House into a prison.

Trump has historically faltered under the presidency’s pressures, as seen during the Covid-19 pandemic, due to bad ideas and a lack of interest in public service.

By forcing Trump to address real issues—like economic crises, public health threats, and policy failures—Democrats can counter his “I alone can fix it” rhetoric.

This approach includes aggressive media campaigns and blocking GOP initiatives without significant concessions.

    Here is my (slightly off topic) rant.

    Until the left gets a charismatic, intelligent, slightly bombastic, and passionate leader to inspire the population to truly organize and put pressure on the leadership nothing will change for the left - or it will change for the worse.

    The progressive left has been leaderless since Bernie lost the primaries. He is still fighting but I feel like the left has abandoned him, and a few others, to carry the load. There is no leadership to inspire progressives to help lift his and other progressive leader’s messages up. There is no “news maker” that can get the ideals of the progressive left out to the public. And until there is someone to take up that mantle the corporate Democrats will do fuck all other than complain a bit, because they don’t feel any pressure to actually do anything substantial.

      The neo liberal left is perfect content with having absolutely no pushback or pressure. They’re still trying to get Republican voters to like them for some reason.

        I would say that they are not just content with it they are actively undercutting attempts to build a strong charismatic leader from getting a foothold.
