the-democrat "Ah, good one! So we'd send that to the task force and within seconds they would have a response for what we're going to do about it. So, task force, what's your response?"

magic-conch-shell "Do nothing."

A real opposition would realize the legal route isn’t effective after that failed for the last 8 years to realize literally any meaningful gains. Yeah, he’s a felon now but that didn’t have any consequence.

The Democrats, if they wanted, could organize something large like when Jon Stewart and Colbert led that restore sanity rally. Ultimately didn’t do anything but at least it would be an actual fucking display of political action. And I know that this isn’t what actually needs to be done, but feels like a “realistic” goal for the Democrats.

restore sanity rally [2.0]... an actual fucking display of political action

I agree. It's realistic for them and it's much better than their current plan of nothing. I don't know if you saw my most recent post. Bold move, Chucky! Lets see if the "roll over and die" strategy pays off! I can't even imagine what their "logic" is anymore.
