Actor and director Tim Robbins has criticised the Democratic Party, saying it relies too heavily on opposing Republicans rather than offering a compelling platform of its own. The Oscar-winning actor, speaking about the current political climate in the US, said neither major party currently satisfies him and argued Democrats need clearer ideas and stronger motivation to win over voters.

Robbins said he is "not a happy guy with either" party, adding that Democrats "have to get their stuff together" and need "better ideas and better motivation for people to vote" for them. His comments, made in a recent interview, add to a wider pattern of prominent entertainment figures publicly weighing in on the state of party politics.
