While I agree with the first three approaches, they don't hold the necessary punch. They are, at best, supporting roles.

The third, while it would keep the issues at the forefront, it disregards that this isn't just a battle over policy. The bigger war is one about values and who matters, and it's one where progressives must prevail. We will, literally, make the planet unsustainable for human life if we don't get it together. Not to mention life in general. This is not a game to "win."

The last one - I don't trust her to actually follow through anyway so it's a non-starter. She aims to keep the government working for the few instead of the many.

The real problem is she has too much ego in this, while going up against someone with an even bigger ego. This fight can only devolve into a battle of wills, which is the last thing we need. Despite the popular opinion that ego is a strength, it's really not. It keeps the endless back and forth going. And going. And going....

She truly is more of the same.
