General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: In light of Trump's insane rhetoric and demented rant, where are the Democrats who will stand up and stop him? [View all]* No shows of support, don't be a certain senator from Pennsylvania
* Holds on all nominees, vote no on all nominees
You obviously have no clue how "holds" work. All Democrats voting no on all nominees stops none from being confirmed.
* Filibuster... EVERYTHING
Already happening
* Press for impeachment and removal
Already happening.
* Keep the shutdown going, expand it
Already happening. They can't "expand" it because the rest of the government is already funded
* No budgets, there will be no budgets approved
Budgets already approved for this fiscal year. Nothing to be accomplished until next fiscal year starting October 1
* Remember that Republicans were in the minority too and they caused problems. Be a problem
No more problems than Democrats are already causing.
For us:
* Press Democrats on the above with repeated calls
Has already been happening for 15 months.
* Slow down on spending, bill paying, and shopping or go without
Wow. Destroy your own life and credit to accomplish nothing. Great advice.
* Jury nullification for anything not murder, sexual assault, armed robbery, things like that. Conservatives vibes law = nullify.
Wow. just wow.
* Be vocal in opposing the administration and the war, silence is consent to the government and media
Has been happening for 15 months
* Express skepticism in the war, don't spread military propaganda
You really think this applies to people on DU? I'd venture that 99.999% of users here are already doing this.
* Express the truth... this war is dragging prices up, say it out loud. Be annoying.
See previous entry.
* Put "normal life" on hold as painful as that may sound... cut back on going out, dates, movies, work, getting married, etc.
Wow. just wow.
