Democratic voters are very dissatisfied with their party at the moment. At the heart of the matter is the perception that Democratic politicians are not radical enough when it comes to fighting President Donald Trump’s agenda.
Based on an Axios report, it seems constituents believe more political theater is the most effective tactic Democrats should be using. The news outlet interviewed several Democratic lawmakers who explained that their constituents are urging them to become more antagonistic in their opposition to the president.
To put it simply, they want their representatives to become more Trumpy.
One lawmaker told Axios that a “sense of fear and despair and anger” is putting Democratic leaders in a position where “we can’t keep following norms of decorum.”
Some lawmakers expressed frustration with how the base wants them to behave. "We've got people who are desperately wanting us to do something ... no matter what we say, they want [more]," Rep. Brad Schneider (D-IL) said.
There have been Democrats who have heeded this advice. There have already been multiple articles of impeachment against Trump filed by far-leftist Democrats. Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) made headlines after he was tackled by security while heckling Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem last month. Rep. Al Green (D-TX) garnered national attention after trying to shout down the president during his address before a joint session of Congress. New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani was filmed shouting at border czar Tom Homan back in March.
One Democratic official told Axios that “what we really need to do is be willing to get shot” when protesting at ICE facilities or other federal agencies. Another told the outlet that his constituents said “what we’re doing is not good enough…[that] there needs to...”

Title searching is your friend. Geezus....
The theater kids want more drama. Color me shocked.
Yeah, that's new, riiiiight -- the same way they tried in Butler Pennsylvania.
If they know these are white affluent leftists, they have an excuse to get a warrant for their communications so that if they are fomenting violence and destruction of property, they can be charged as accessories to the crimes.
I believe it should also be policy to always require the criminals to pay back the taxpayers whatever costs their crimes caused. And that should include any accessories to the crime as well, so that these affluent leftists will also be required to pay back the taxpayers for the costs their tantrums force onto the rest of us.
We are only guaranteed free speech. They are mad because their speech makes no difference. So they want to step it up to criminal activity to “get people’s attention”. That is the very definition of terrorism. And if they are saying this to Congress-critters, their addresses are known. Should be easy pickings for law enforcement.
If democrats want to bleed who am I to interfere?
Never going to happen. The demonratcommieblmantifaterrorscumfeminaziguanopathicpedophilegoatrapers do not have the mental capacity, strength, endurance, stamina, courage, ability or desire to do so. Deep down inside them is nothing but pure evil and hatred for Anyone who disagrees with them.
They are all spawns of satan !!!
There were two armed attacks on ICE facilities in Texas over the weekend, with one police officer wounded in each attack. The Portland, Or bldg was once again attacked, and now a facility in L.A.
Is this what the democrap base is demanding?
They just want you to do what you taught them to do.
“we can’t keep following norms of decorum.”
Democrats haven’t been for a long long time. These people have no sense of irony at all.
They are evil. I just read the replies in our local commie rag about the Texas floods. They are celebrating with great joy that so many have been killed. They say they deserved it. They say God is punishing Texas for not voting for democrats. I want absolutely nothing to do with a democrat.
all the dem congress members need to get into their black bloc
and get out there and cause some trouble
Remember the Democrats hysteria about J6? Where are they now?
Not according to my search:
'There Needs to Be Blood': What Democrat Voters Are Demanding From Their Leaders
What search are you using, Mr Geezuz?
So they're explaining why they advocate for more violence. Got it.
To put it simply, they want their representatives to become more Trumpy.
Please do cite the violence that Pres Trump has advocated for. Lying journalism majors!
Funny how the article instantly stops naming names at that point.
