[Historic NY]

1. Get in gear for the mid terms 2018....

if not the loss's will continue.

[niyad]

2. I am hoping we survive that long.

3. We need to win all 8 seats up for reelection on the GOP side

And defend all 23 democratic seats. We cannot let the GOP get to 60 seats!!

[Captain Stern]

6. Unfortunately, you're right.

We're pretty much just going to be playing defense in the next Senate elections.

Since there is very little chance that we can actually retake the Senate (we'd have to win 26 of the 31 races), our goal has to be keep them from getting to the fillibuster-proof 60.

[Bettie]

18. That presumes we'll ever have a real election again

Seriously, they will be stepping up suppression efforts as well as refining their margin plumping.

And, in most states, they are in charge of counting the votes as well as defining districts.

[lunatica]

4. I had forgotten about all that stuff!

I needed the reminder.

[niyad]

5. it is hard to keep track of all the horrible stuff, there is so damned much of it. and, we know the

is going to be exponentially more under this mango mussolini, or captain carotene (thanks to the du'er who gave that to us)

[sarisataka]

7. Same thing we do every night

[niyad]

8. too true. was just thinking about that piece the other night, actually.

[Runningdawg]

9. We make sure

he leaves office early and in disgrace while at the same time we work to elect Democrats to any office possible from dog catcher to senator.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

10. We REBEL!

[niyad]

11. RESIST

[onenote]

12. Same thing we did after GWB was affirmed as the 43rd Pres

Start working to elect Democrats.

Some people seem to forget that we have won 4 out of the past six Presidential elections (five if you count 2000).

The demographic trends are greatly in our favor. We need to work on energizing the communities whose interests are not served by repub policies and work on getting out the vote as early as the 2018 mid-terms.

Fantasies about secession and other pie in the sky responses are a waste of time.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

13. +1

[niyad]

14. and HRC won the popular vote this time.

[Jamaal510]

15. All of the above,

and as for me, I plan on 4 years of roasting his supporters online every time he does or say something dumb. They need to be publicly shamed for voting for that moronic perverted bully.

[DavidDvorkin]

16. Go down the tubes.

[Alhena]

17. I'm hopeful he'll just turn out to be a conman

and not the second coming of Hitler.

Hope is about all we can do at this point. Talking about resistance and stuff is just talk. Sure, let's do what we can, but it's not real power.

[question everything]

19. Get all states to commit to vote for the ones winning the popular votes

though I doubt that we can get red states to go along. Not until they win the popular votes which did not happen since 2004 and before that in 1988, I think.
