The nation's paper of record downplayed the 'No Kings" protests while urging Democrats to move toward the center to defeat Trump, all the while ignoring the GOP's attempt to undermine election integrity.

EDITED to note: I did not realize when I posted this that it was actually written in October, 2025 about an older NYT op-ed, because the complaint is exactly the same. Fresh off the current NYT article linked here, I happened to see this in the sidebar of the Common Dreams article about Saturday’s (March 28, 2026) protests and assumed it was about the current NYT op-ed. My error. Thanks to @AmidFuror@fedia.io for pointing it out.

For those who haven’t read it, this is the NYT article in question. I should note that the author gets thoroughly schooled in the comments:

A Challenge for ‘No Kings’ Protests, the Third Time Around – by Jeremy W. Peters for the NYT

    The first thing to learn about the Fediverse is that FiniteBanjo is a lonely troll with no particular values. They just spew shit to get a rise out of people.

      Its a victim complex, but you are also right about them standing for nothing.

      It wasn’t always this way, but it comes down to them seeing the role of everyone as being sheepdogs for the DNC. Its impossible for them to understand how and why the DNC failed in 2024, and it severely affected them. They really broke down over the previous two years as their basic thesis for how politics works collapsed. The future has been hard on them, and its been a sad transformation. Its like watching someone develop schizophrenia, or watching an elderly relative develop dementia. Reality went one direction, and they’ve refused to go along.
