Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

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.

same, Saw no democrats in there, no stalls, no flags, nothing. the local DSA was there though canvassing for free healthcare and other common sense policies.
I've found out about them during the first no kings
Nice! It seems like these events might a good place for smaller parties to make their presence known to people. Maybe even get some new ones going!
Yes, my DSA is growing thanks to NoKings.
no doubt the us is fed up with Democrats, even though republicans is the main evil, the uselessness of corporate owned political parties is pissing everyone.
Yep. From my experience of them I think people are really just looking for some new options.
Yhea, the democratic party is a dead party. they couldn't even win against Trump, the worst candidate and president in US history.
And so many dems bent the knee to trump, and only offer symbolic useless resistance.
I legit didn't know there was a Dem flag. Is it just a flag with a donkey?
Also. This post is definitely propaganda b.s
Man you guys are trying really hard to delegeitimize this thing before it gets going. I just read MAGA had started posting to BlueSky. Guess they're already here in Lemmy too...
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.
The take that it's a 'Democratic party spectacle' as the OP said is a very dumb statement.
