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.

A liberal Tea Party would probably be about as effective as an actual tea party.

The liberal tea party was basically the Occupy movement, which...fell apart because there wasn't really any agreement on what Occupy actually wanted.

and many right wing grifters began thier origins in the occupy movement too.
