In reply to the discussion: It should make your blood boil to hear people pretend Democrats should be able to control or prevent what Trump is doing [View all]Orrex
(66,899 posts)24. What they could do is present a more unified front
No reaching across the aisle and no appeasement. Oppose every nominee, delay every legislative measure, and maybe have a talk with that guy from Pennsylvania who seems so fond of Trump's ideas lately.
They also need to make it clear and obvious that they're doing this. They can't let it happen in stealth or darkness, because 51% of the point is showing the Democratic constituency that they've got our back. If we have to dig for evidence of that, then most voters aren't going to bother, so it might as well not be happening.
I'm not asking for miracles, but at the end of the day I don't want to have to wonder if the party is fully committed to opposing Trump on every front.

It doesn't make my blood boil when I hear our Canadian neighbors say that. It just makes me sad.
