I’m wondering where are the big names in the Democratic party and the left?
There is a palpable atmosphere of fear coming from a large population in America and there is silence from the “opposition” party. Why isn’t Obama and Michelle organizing and speaking at rallies? Why aren’t other prominent Democratic leaders not trying to rally support for a genuine resistance. Not the resistance of 2016, which I feel failed due to no true national leadership from the Democratic party.
Maybe this is happening and I just don’t see it, but it sure feels like the national Democratic leaders and influencers just threw up their hands and said “well, we’ve tried nothing and we are all out of ideas. You’re on your own to figure it out. But remember, if your leaderless pent up fear and anger turns to violence we won’t support you.”
I’ve been wondering that as well and I had a kind of scary thought; maybe there is no opposition party this time around because what’s happening is exactly what all parties involved want to be happening. I’m just so baffled by the state of politics in the US that I can’t help but to feel like we’re witnessing some kind of sea change in the fundamental structure of the government. Unfortunately it is not a progressive or thoughtful change in ideology.

Then they’re not doing it right.
