One hundred days into the Trump administration, the left wing of the Democratic Party is pushing for action to avoid an internal rebellion reminiscent of the Tea Party movement. Justice Democrats endorsed Donavan McKinney in a bid to oust ineffective incumbents, while David Hogg is mobilizing $20 million to target Democratic leaders perceived as inadequate. This shows a significant shift in the party's primary electorate, as many voters express frustration with incumbents who fail to confront major challenges, like Trump and corporate influences.
"Voters are starting to understand that a lot of Democratic officeholders just fucking suck and are not up to the challenge of taking on Elon Musk and Donald Trump," says Usamah Andrabi, a spokesman for Justice Democrats.
The left flank of the Democratic Party delivered a message: Do something or risk a tea-party-like revolt from within your own ranks.
David Hogg announced his plan to raise upwards of $20 million to unseat what he terms as 'ineffective' Democratic incumbents, reflecting growing discontent with the party.
Democratic pollsters say the feeling among the party's primary electorate is markedly different now than it was eight years ago, indicating a push for change.
