Now is the time to search for a strong opposition voice within the Democratic Party. While Biden was in office, Trump never shut his mouth. The Democrats need to be doing the same. Holding rallies, making TV appearances. Representing the close to 50% of the country who are watching this unfold in horror.

Democrats need to go on the offensive and hard. Call Trump a scumbag in public. When the loudmouth bully magas speak up, remind them that Traitor trump is a sexual predator. Remind them he’s an insurrectionist and failed businessman. Remind everyone, everywhere that he’s horrible by every single measure. A convicted conman. Make up lies about Republicans and repeat them. Play dirty. They only get defensive when you tell lies about Republicans. They wear ignorance as a badge.

Yeah, but for that they need pressure both from the inside and the outside. Apparently D representatives receive a ton of phonecalls from their constituents, which is already a good start.

But what is also needed is more and younger people running within the party and for office to create more pressure for bolder messaging and more decisive actions.

The D party had the problem of being perceived as the status-quo party, and that perception IMO is not wrong if you look who is in positions of power within the party. So if the Dems want voters to drop Trump in the next election they need to undergo a massive transformation, especially age-wise (maybe with the sole exception of Bernie Sanders who aleays was popular with people from both sides).
