Democratic leadership announced their plans to play the 2013 Katy Perry song “Roar” very loud in response to the aggressive start of President Donald Trump’s second term.
As much as I agree with the sentiment, it’s not going to be elected Democrats putting their bodies and personal freedom on the line; what we need are more Anarchists, and support for Anarchists.
The closest thing I have to a point is that on a Federal level, the Democratic party is a corpse. At best I think it could be resurrected as the supporting “acceptable” political wing of a larger movement that also includes a direct action wing that actually sets the movement’s agenda. But I’m afraid that’s just as much of a fantasy as the idea of pampered technocrats standing up to get their heads bashed in by US Marshalls.

Think it’s on the same level of expecting cops to risk their lives for the safety of people when there’s no risk to property.
