                  Well then how about this, rather than just throwing a book of stuff out and telling us to divine what it is in your mind, you just state what it is that members of Congress, with a minority in both houses, no presidential power, and a screwed SCOTUS, are supposed to be doing at this time then? You’ve said that blocking appointments and filibustering the Senate is useless theater, so what exactly would you propose?

                    First, booker is not blocking an appointment.

                    Filibusters are only useful if they’re blocking legislation and he’s not doing that either; it’s only political theater.

                    Republicans use the quorum rules when they’re a minority, but the Democrats won’t do they have decided that decorum matters more that fascism.

                    Finally, fascism has been in the pipeline for atleast 40 years and expecting a silver bullet is unrealistic; read the documentation that you demanded.
