DNC Meeting Featured Painfully Cringe ‘Fight Song’ For Democrats to Sing

Attendees at a Democratic National Committee meeting in Minneapolis this week were reportedly encouraged to sing a “fight song,” with lyrics about Democrats being “stronger together” and shining blue.

After DNC chairman Ken Martin urged Democrats to bring “a bazooka to a knife fight” against President Donald Trump and the Republican Party, one unnamed leader of the Democrat donation platform ActBlue became particularly inspired.

“At several sessions, a leader of the donation portal ActBlue shared a ‘fight song’ that the party could adopt, putting its lyrics on screens so that the crowds could sing along,” reported Semafor’s David Weigel.

The song included the lyrics, “D-E-M-S, we rise! Stronger together, blue skies! Lift your voice, we’re bold and true, Onward, Democrats – we shine blue!”

The song was ridiculed by Republicans on social media, who had already mocked the DNC’s meeting in Minneapolis this week for opening with an indigenous land acknowledgement.

DNC Chair Martin was accused of being “out of touch with American voters” after he invited Lindy Sowmick, a self-described “Indigenous queer woman,” to open the meeting by acknowledging that the land had been taken from the Dakota people and that “in many ways, we still live in a system built to suppress indigenous people’s cultural and spiritual history.”

During his own speech, Martin urged fellow Democrats to “grow a damn spine.”

“Now look, folks, I’m sick and tired of this Democratic Party bringing a pencil to a knife fight,” he said. “We cannot be the only party that plays by the rules anymore.”
