Stop with the Great Society overstuffed agendas and present everything one by one in simple barebones legislation. If Republicans want to filibuster the "Stop Pouring Toxic Waste into Children's Drinking Water" act then let them die on that hill; don't give them an easy out by sneaking solar panel funding into it. That goes for about everything that Democrats have been trying to pass in my lifetime. And, when something is clearly DOA, give up on it immediately. If Obama had realized the public option was dead and given up on it 6 months sooner, he would've saved himself a lot of trouble, and the same can be said about Biden and the Build Back Better drama.

Also, drop all social issues. Embrace the "No black America, no white America . . ." line of thinking from Obama's first campaign and go for a personal freedom, freedom of choice angle when it comes to these issues. All they really need to do is pass basic anti-discrimination laws, but other than that we don't need to hear about any of it.

Basically the 1992 campaign.

Start arming themselves for a long and bloody resistance against the GOP soft dictatorship which will be existent from the late 2020s to probably around 2040 at the latest. While not ideal, this is the best way they can reduce the time of the dictatorship in a long assymetric underground campaign. Seriously that is the future of what will remain of the left wing in America before either serious reforms or a complete collapse (bad for everyone) come the next economic crash.

I would say "preparing" rather than "arming".

I know the conservative obsession with ammosexuality has deeply warped this country, but random collections of citizens owning guns does not solve political problems, even ones that involve state abuse of force - for that you need a militia (if you need arms at all). And there's a great deal that can and should be done that has nothing to do with arms at all; if Americans are fighting a second Civil War in our streets and fields, we've already lost many times over.

Random terrorism directed at an illegitimate government only gives it (undeserved) legitimacy and excuses for the actions it wants to take anyway, without accomplishing anything positive. Relentlessly criticizing it and refusing to comply with it while presenting a better alternative will be far less destructive and far more effective. (Current Democratic leadership are far too "bipartisan" - which really means "continuing comfort for the leaders of the status-quo" - to be effective leaders under such circumstances.)



It’s very simple. Our intention is to prevent further escalation and abuse under the understanding that ultimate escalation may be unavoidable.
