"Twenty twenty-six and 2028 can and should be the beginnings of something transformational. We've got tailwinds like you wouldn't believe. A president whose approval rating has dropped below 35 percent, rivaling Nixon during Watergate."
"Recently, 8 million of us were in the streets. All 50 states. More than 3,300 events. The largest single-day demonstration in American history. Nearly half of those events were in red states and rural communities."
"Our party is good at channeling anger into 'Trump bad,' but that won't do it. These millions of us could be a burning light hot enough to set this country's rot ablaze if a party would just hold the magnifying glass."
"Even in the face of all this, our party is still less popular than Trump's. Fifty-five percent of Democrats say the party has the wrong priorities."
The upcoming years of 2026 and 2028 present an opportunity for transformational change, fueled by significant public discontent. A president with low approval ratings and controversial spending priorities has sparked widespread protests, with millions participating in demonstrations across all states. However, the current energy is largely reactive, lacking a clear goal or vision. Many within the Democratic Party express dissatisfaction with its direction and effectiveness, indicating a need for a unifying purpose to harness the collective anger into constructive power.
