It is time for the elected Democrats in the house and senate to change tactics in a huge way...

First...you must accept the fact the current elected republicans have no shame or fear of being called liars or hypocrites. They bask in our feeble attempt to embarrass them.

Once the Democratic party accepts that the republicans can't be shamed, it is time to change tactics.

One of those tactics would be to embarrass all of the family members (children, spouses, siblings, parents, in-laws, cousins, nieces, nephews, etc) of the representative or senator that when our country is weakened or fails because of what your family member voted for or did, your name might go down in history as that of a traitor. Just like Hitler is today, and Putin will be soon. Call them the next Benedict Arnold and remind them that 200 years later he is considered one of the worst traitors in US history.

Can you imagine every single member of their family being questioned every time they were in public..."Do you approve of what your (fill in the blank) has done for people without health insurance, or denying food benefits to single mothers?
Have you donated to food banks or health clinics because the people your relative voted against are struggling and possibly starving or dying?

One of the first rules of war, if you can't defeat your enemy with a frontal attack, find a weak point from the flank or rear, then hit that weak point with everything you have.

The frontal attack on the person will fail. They don't care if you call them a liar, or a hypocrite, or a traitor to the constitution!
THEY DON'T CARE...THEY HAVE NO SHAME!!!

So attack from the flank, go after the shame their families will have to live with.

It's well past time to be the good guys.

It's time to bring a bazooka to this gun fight.
