Firstly, “No Kings” was always a bit of a piss-weak euphemism. It clearly means No Dictators, but that’s too strong language for dems and casts uncomfortably truthful light on the system they want to be in charge of.
Secondly, don’t give a standing ovation to an unelected monarch. Just don’t. He uttered the words “checks and balances”. So what? We have literal concentration camps and no rule of law. A child rapist and a pack of drunk nazis openly loot the public purse. We’re way past checks and balances.
This is yet another example of the dems failing to understand the political moment.
The general populace doesn’t understand the political moment so idk why youre complaining about the minority party they didn’t bother giving any power to.
I kinda think this is a valid point.

He has no real power
He has very little formal power, just wealth, status, connections, titles, fame, ceremonial power, large property holdings and public funding.
His brother is one of the world’s most famous child rapists, a key player in the trump-epstein trafficking ring and his dad was an outspoken racist.
The optics of dems giving a standing ovation to an unelected monarch while we suffer under authoritarian rule are not good.
Pretty sure the folks behind it are Gen-X calling back to Schoolhouse Rock:

Pretty much everyone of a certain age grew up with this.
I have heard local organizers expressing frustration at the firm grip of democratic party insiders on messaging, goals and other decision making.
