Good piece by Mike Littwin. From his piece:

"I mean, if you want to stop Trump, you have to stop him at the polls. The midterm elections next year are not just the “most important midterms of your lifetime.” They are critical. To stop Trump or at least slow him down, Democrats need a foothold in D.C."

Littwin: The No Kings rallies were wildly successful. The question now is what to do next.

Trump already gave us his answer with help of an AI-generated video in which he, uh, dumps on the protesters

We're not going to turn back Trump on social media. No amount of social media posting will make a difference. We won't do it by logging onto "action" calls, adding our names to petitions, or the like. No. The only way we make it out of this mess is to do the hard, unsexy work of organizing.

That means getting some of the 80 million eligible voters who did not vote in the 2024 Presidential election to the polls to check the D box.

For these voters to check the D box Democrats need a platform that non-voters and working class people believe in. Which so far, doesn't really exist. Just ask people on the street what Democrats stand for.
