OBSTRUCT.
To the fullest extent of your authority. Use every tool, dirty trick, or maneuver at your disposal. Their destructive agenda must be stopped in its tracks. They showed you the way for the last 8 years. It's our turn.
That is all...

Tell them you will do everything that a citizen can do to oust them and their hateful agenda from the body politic.

(28,787 posts)hehe. i will. but it's like spitting in the wind.
i'm wearing a safety pin to let everyone threatened by the election of Trump know i do not share his world view, and from what i gather, some people think it's just to make myself feel better. no, it's to make others feel better too.
but calling burr or tillis? that's pretty much just to let off steam. no way it's going to make a single bit of difference to these scorched earth, die hard, republican before human, assholes.

(3,764 posts)but I live in Houston so I'm calling all the local Democratic Congressmen and telling them to obstruct. That would be Sheila Jackson-Lee, Gene Green and Al Green.

This election has proved that nice guys/gals finish last. Time to push back.

(14,341 posts)One of the few bright spots from this election.
I'm also loving Tammy Duckworth.

(10,095 posts)The majority of Democrats will vote for even more tax cuts for the ruling class. The Affordable Care Act will retain those things that appeal to most people, preexisting conditions and letting children stay on their parents' insurance until 26. Anything from the ACA that benefits the poor will be gone.
