Not ideal, but its at least a check in the top-to-bottom right-wing government were currently saddled with. Do whatevers possible to divert, slow, re-route, delay, speak up, agitate, on and on, ceaselessly.
Step 3: 2019 Come up with a broad-appeal, inclusive, dynamic ticket for 2020. Knowing Democrats and progressives, this will be more difficult than it should be, given the existential threat to the WORLD.
Well see what Robert Mueller has to say, but its folly to hang all hopes on a miracle. (Like waiting on the edge of ones seat for some REPUBLICANS to save SCOTUS, it just leaves Democrats/progressives impotently hand-wringing on the sidelines.) If Mueller does stick it to 45, well, thatd be an absolute gift. But again, no breath-holding.
Step 4: SUPPORT a Democratic administration, even if it departs somewhat from your ideals. Weve seen what happens when Republicans rally around the candy-dispensing monster theyve created hes almost untouchable, for now. Hes the freest person in the world, for now.
In contrast, Democrats actually backed away from Obama in 2014, allowing Republicans to fill the void, and were still paying for that abandonment.) STICK TOGETHER! DISCIPLINE!
