    What specifically would you like them to do?

    Not saying you’re wrong, but curious here.

      Don’t keep voting to approve his nominees, for one. Put a hold on each and every one of them. Vote against all of the laws the republicans are putting through congress. Filibuster everything. Basically, act like the republicans have since 1992.

      They could start with that.

        Most of that still won’t do anything because they don’t have the numbers (like articles of impeachment). The house needs 4 Republicans to go against the pack to hit 50%.

        I’m not saying it’s not worth doing, but FlexibleToast was saying that all of that is posturing and won’t accomplish anything.

        The answer is that Democrats can’t directly do anything, which was what the person you responded to was alluding to.
