The article critiques Trump's undermining of democracy through various actions, including promoting authoritarianism and Russia's interests. It highlights how Democratic in-fighting distracts from effective action against fascism. The author argues for a more collaborative effort where local parties and civil society are given agency instead of outsourcing politics to national leaders like Hakeem Jeffries. This division of labor is necessary for better mobilization against divisive issues as the polarization within the party hampers responses to challenges many face today.
“The demand that Hakeem Jeffries take the lead on issues that really aren't central to his job breeds passivity and frustration and distracts from stuff being done by others better positioned to do so.”
“A lot of people still don't understand there's a natural division of labor in who should fight fascists how, one which is similar to those five areas of sabotage.”
