Have fun stormin the castle with an active sustained “resistance” looking to the same people who couldn’t be bothered to vote in a safe, free, and fair election in large enough numbers to insure the Fascist couldn’t take control … AGAIN. All they had to do was vote, the lowest bar simplest effort action asked of anyone ever. “resistance” you’re killin me smalls
Enough doomposting. Fatalism is fatal. Even if you’re right, would you rather go down fighting or wait for the knock on the door to come to you? Here are some tangible things Dem reps can actually do right now, even as a minority party. These are the things voters should be demanding of them, other than just vague calls to “do something”:
Grind the Senate to a halt. Not one Dem vote for any confirmation. Filibuster everything. Put holds on everything.
Not one Democratic vote for a continuing resolution or debt ceiling increase without major concessions. The federal government is better shut down than run by Trump/Musk.
Participate directly in street protests. Sitting reps can participate in these with little risk for arrest or assault by cops, and they have the resources and clout to not be destroyed by being arrested.
Purge anyone who dares utter the word “bipartisanship” from the party. Anyone who votes on a single Republican bill should be ineligible for a penny of Dem campaign funds come the next cycle and should lose any committee seats they have.
These are the things we should be demanding of Democratic representatives right now. Give up on the doomerism. If you want to crawl into a hole and die, fine. Go do it and quit bitching.
Oh, and quit trying to relitigate the prior election. Yes, there were errors on both sides of the left. The centrists should have stopped the genocide, and the Palestine supporters should have voted for Kamala anyway. It’s a moot point now. We have bigger problems to worry about, and picking at these old wounds does nothing but divide the left further.
