"A populist uprising stirs among Democrats furious at their leaders
In dozens of interviews at recent Democratic events, voters said their party leaders need to show a much greater sense of urgency — and develop a plan to stop Trump and Musk.
Democrats are turning up by the thousands at rallies across the country — showing the stirrings of a populist uprising against President Donald Trump’s drastic cuts to government agencies and demanding that their leaders fight harder to save programs that benefit the middle class.
The question now facing the party — which has been in the grips of an identity crisis since November — is whether it can harness that pulsating energy to slow Trump’s agenda at a time when they have so little power. There is no clear Democratic leader. The party’s popularity has crashed to historic lows in recent polls. And there is no consensus on how to win back working-class voters and younger voters who were crucial to Trump’s victory last year.
Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents mobbed a half-dozen Western state events held last week by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) — with more than 30,000 people filling Denver’s Civic Center Park on Friday evening. At town halls organized by liberal activists and Democratic Party officials in the congressional districts of the most vulnerable Republicans, rank-and-file voters have decried the enormous influence of billionaire Elon Musk, Trump’s top donor, as he vows to cut $1 trillion or more from the federal budget."
The Democrat leadership has lost control of their radical base. We may see the elderly Democrat politburo replaced by even more radical Leftists.
