is not having to govern. In the absence of good policy, we are obligated only to resist.

So, resist.

Dissent.

Make clear the profanity of the GOP. Do not "own" policy discussions we cannot win. Do not empower a flank of your party to be "deal makers" and act as auxiliaries to those in power. Do not pretend you have a mandate.

Stop. Unify. Object. Resist. Dissent. We do not share any values with the governing majority.
