cory booker is, at the time I'm writing, filibustering the senate and preventing any actions by the fascist-controlled Congress
if he continues for 30,000 hours, the trump administration will be over and he'll have singlehandedly saved what's left of democracy. that would be unlikely, but, maybe it wouldn't be hard for 30000 people to slow down fascism by one hour each. or 2 million people to slow fascism down by a minute.

Don't do my boy Gastly like that! Ghosts are the best!
Whenever I see posts like this, my question is: What constitutes "something?"
Democrats vote against all the Republican bills.
Cory Booker is filibustering a bunch of judicial appointments.
They're banging the drum about how horrible everything Trump is doing is.
They support the suits and the protests.
What do you want? It seems like people just want to complain about the Democrats regardless of the realities of the situation.
What do you want?
They want the people they voted out of power to suddenly gain all the power.

Democrats vote against all the Republican bills
If this were even true (what was Schumer in hot water over again?), what the fuck does 'voting against republican bills' do when the black-shirts are already rounding up immigrants?
Democrats can't run around screaming about the end of democracy for 8 years and then wax romantic about the need for 'bipartisanship' when they're starting to line people up against the wall.

Maybe don’t expect to be saved by the party you told to fuck off, called murderers and refused to vote for. American leftists loudly played the “both sides are the same” card this past election and they’re finding out. Now suddenly you want help from the other side that’s “the same “?
Weak effort troll
American leftists don’t realize how utterly insane they have become to us leftists outside of your country. Not surprisingly, your American culture has made even the left toxic.
I can’t tell the difference in your behaviour between a maga anymore, you’re all just as. Toxic, offensive, hateful and miserable as the red hats. Anyone who criticizes you is a troll, anyone who wants to be your ally but doesn’t follow your world view 100% is “just as bad as trump”
American left went completely bonkers this past election and are now pretending they didn’t. We all saw it.

By not doing anything, they are almost being complicit and hence proving the original point.
I'm glad this troll bait crap is barely working, but it's working a little. Come on guys, don't be a stooge:
“Once we isolate key people, we look for people we know are in their upstream – people that they read posts from, but who themselves are less influential. We then either start flame wars with bots to derail the conversations that are influencing influential people, or else send off specific tasks for sockpuppets (changing this wording of an idea here; cause an ideological split there; etc).”
The goal is to keep opinions we don't want fragmented and from coalescing in to a single voice for long enough that the memes we do want can,...

The liberal version of resisting fascism is quiet collaboration.
Libs!
Liberals.
Bougie.
RvrSrs can tel buy pookaman mime
Can do the exact same thing with "progressives" that don't vote.
Pretty sure progressives are doing more important and constructive things than voting for genocide.
TBH it seems like bi-partisan support and voting for genocide is huge part of growing fascism.
By implicitly voting for fascism and genocide? They gotta be tired of winning.

People get upset when you say standing in a street with a sign won’t do anything, but standing in a street with a sign won’t do anything.
These guys won’t even do town halls any more. They’re not going to pay attention to paper signs on sticks.
One person standing on the street obviously doesn't matter much, but it's about being the change you'd wish to see. Boycotts don't really work either. Doesn't mean you should buy a Tesla.

Really what else can one do besides obstruct and sue hoping to stop the tsunami of chaos that this admin embodies?
He wasn't obstructing anything; it was just theater.
Oh? And what pray tell would the .ml solution to the situation be that is going to be so effective?
anything besides performative theater is good
Such as?
it took me 30 seconds to find these on google; you should try doing the same thing.

seizing the means of prediction!
Democrats have also nothing
any even remotely law abiding politician(read american "left" wing) is kinda hamstrung with the current state of affairs.
Well, when the people in charge make abiding by laws means you sit quietly waiting to die, protesting is illegal, dissent is illegal, and even having a negative opinion of them is grounds for being mentally unfit, well there's not much you can do inside the confines of their laws.
Laws are not inherently moral or just. They will have to be broken, and by many MANY people. As my dad used to say " 'you can have my guns when you pry them from my cold dead hands' just leaves you a crazy lone gunman dead in the street" he was just making fun of movies when he said it, but to me it's a call to organize.
That's where collaboration with a fundamentally oppressive system gets you.
