There's nothing that can be done. Republicans have every bit of power there is. At least for the next two years.

    This is the message of the enemy. I am not sure what there is to be done, but to say this:

    There’s nothing that can be done.

    is to give up. The only thing that we ordinary people can know is that the democratic party is unable/unwilling to form an effective resistance right now.

    There is always one type of power the people have.

    I know how anyone could organize something so large, But a mass strike/walkout would have more impact than anything else right now.

    None of the common people go in to work until shit stain "abdicates"

    This is a strong reason why I would think it would be a tactical error to mess with the elections. Elections are the pressure valve that people are willing to wait for. You can do so much harm and all is forgiven if you step down after an election loss.

    Take away that mechanism, and you put all your leadership at huge risk, for minor benefit (history has shown they can get their way like 90% of the time anyway, the "left" will barely even say anything about their material goals and let them stand).
