Summary

Frustrated by Democratic leaders' failure to counter Donald Trump’s swift policy changes, grassroots liberals are pushing for a Tea Party-style insurgency within their party.

Anger is mounting over leadership’s lack of urgency, ineffective messaging, and perceived disconnect from voters.

Activists and strategists argue Democrats must shift from defending institutions to telling human-centered stories that resonate emotionally.

Some are calling for primary challenges and new leadership to counter Trump's influence. Reform efforts are already underway, as progressives seek a more aggressive and responsive Democratic Party.

Didn't the Democrats already have Occupy Wall Street?

Didn't it get marginalized by the establishment just like the tea party?

Occupy Wall Street was a disorganized mess. It really didn’t have much to do with the dems either.

Obama did collaborate with corporations, the banks, and local police forces in forming a national task force to crush OWS, often in violation of the 1st and 4th Amendments, but OWS was more a howl of economic rage, and I don't recall any efforts to take over the Democratic Party.
