22. Non-cooperation with the dysfunctional is the only viable, logical method of taking them down.

Don't play the game.

Satyagraha - non-cooperation.

To quote Spock in that two-parter in the next generation speaking to the Romulan commander: "Since you will likely kill me anyway, I choose not to cooperate."

Dems need to learn to say "Since you will excoriate me whether I negotiate with you or not, I won't negotiate and will force through my agenda anyway." The GOP is great at non-cooperation, because they don't give a shit what the dems think about them.
