When we want Trump out of power so badly, because he remains in power it is tempting but deceiving to think "nothing is being done."That was a first thought when a European friend asked what is being done against Trump.
Can you help answer this queatuon by posting lists of accomplishments and/or efforts made against Trump?
To start:
1. We organized the largest midterm voter turnout in a century and flipped Jouse seats, 36 and counting....
2. How would you expand about our efforts and actions against Trump?
