Two things: The party must adopt an FDR platform and it must stop enabling the repuke platform [View all]

Loudly adopt policies that put the robber barons on the defense. Develop a platform that ensures EQUALITY and EQUAL JUSTICE for all. And ffs, if you're ever back in power, pack the fucking SCOTUS.

Stop passing any of this administration's laws unless they make huge concessions to dems. Stop voting for his nominees. You are KILLING the democrat's' spirits when you collaborate with or enable repukes.
