The No Kings, Hands Off, and 50501 protest organizations are controlled by rich Neoliberals who aren’t going to do the things necessary to bring meaningful change.

Effectively, they are controlled opposition.

If these organizations cared about democracy they would probably have these demands:

1. “repeal citizens united and block similar laws from ever being created around lobbying and campagin”

2. expand SCOTUS and change the branch so that they are elected positions.

3. Abolish the Electoral College

4. Guarantee that congress will permanently be in control of funding and the withholding of funding. A president should not be allowed to stop congressional funding.

5. end gerrymandering by forcing congressional maps to be as equally distributed as possible. By either population or land, it doesn’t matter but we have to pick just 1.

That’s where I would start if I was in charge of one of these national movements, but they don’t want the country to become more democratic, they want us to sit still while fascists do as they please.
