Over a decade ago, conservatives reformed the GOP from the inside out in a way that presaged the rise of Trump. Will liberals find a way to their own uprising?

Summary

Frustrated by Democratic leaders’ failure to counter Donald Trump’s swift policy changes, grassroots liberals are pushing for a Tea Party-style insurgency within their party.

Anger is mounting over leadership’s lack of urgency, ineffective messaging, and perceived disconnect from voters.

Activists and strategists argue Democrats must shift from defending institutions to telling human-centered stories that resonate emotionally.

Some are calling for primary challenges and new leadership to counter Trump’s influence. Reform efforts are already underway, as progressives seek a more aggressive and responsive Democratic Party.

    I don’t know how we refom a party that chooses their “leader” to be Mr.“there are good and bad billionaires. We’ll refuse bad billionaires money but we will take good billionaires money.”

    So as long as Boeing says they like gay people and don’t refute climate change then we’ll continue to take their bribes donations, but will also take their direction on what we’re allowed to vote on. Status quo, but with morally “clean” billionaire funding. :/

      By voting in the primaries. The RNC didn’t want Trump, they didn’t want all the shit that happened originally. It happened because people voted to put specific Republicans in office during primaries and in the general who helped change their party into the Trump machine it is today.

      We can do the same. You reform by actually voting in primaries.
