17. Questions of fraud aside, what about the concept of Loyal Opposition?
People who consider ourselves good Americans who still oppose about 90% of the policies of the powers that be.

Should all Democratic senators & representatives always vote with the Republicans now? Or should they do what they can, although in the minority? Shouldn't they obstruct, filibuster, & try to work deals with the few Republicans retaining any sense?

Should we not express our opinions, write letters to editors, protest if that's our thing & plan for the next time?

Oh, and those questions of fraud were just put aside temporarily. We need to continue to look for answers.
