As much as I'm dreading a Trump presidency I don't think undermining the government is the solution. I've got hope that the systems of checks and balances will be enough to keep him from making any drastic changes that everyone expects. If he were actually able to get term limits to stick that would be the one thing I would actually cheer him for...

Orrrrrrrrrrrrr you could've not nominated such a horrible person as the (D) candidate?

I fail to see how merely donating money to the charity of your choice is going to solve anything. I could donate a thousand bucks to the SPCA, and while that would be a very nice and noble thing to do, it will not stop Donald Trump.

Donate money to the Recount, and yeah, maybe that will do something to stop Donald Trump. Especially if it results in finding a hacked voting machine in MI.

Looking up the contact information for your Congressmember and Senators is not nearly as good as using it, every day, from now until the Electoral College votes, to demand a full audit of the entire nation's ballots. After that, use the information to demand they roadblock everything Trump attempts to do. If Trump wants Congressional approval to get up and use the bathroom, call your Rep and demand that Trump shit his pants instead.

Contact the DNC and demand the ditch the Superdelegates. Trump is a horrible human being, but he's also the only GOP candidate who could have won. And we know this because the majority of voters picked him in the primaries. The Democrats, however, rejected the guy the majority of voters picked in favor of someone the Superdelegates picked. And they lost.

There's no bigger signal of just how fucked we are that 1) Everyone everywhere is talking about the need to resist and 2) Their idea of "fighting" is donating money to good causes.

I'm sure we'll have great charities in fascist America. Wonderful. Let us know if anyone comes up with any actually effective material ways to resist.

Isn't that list missing having a bake sale for Greenpeace?

I live in Michigan, and I just wanted to let you know that the Attorney General of our state, a republican, is suing to try and stop the recount.

The sad fact is, he actually has a case, because Jill Stein only got 1% of the vote here in Michigan.
She can't prove that she is an aggrieved party, because there is no way she could win even if the recount successfully showed someone other than Trump won.
Why didn't the Democrats demand a recount?

Well only if you don't acknowledge your like, latent white privilege could you think that. Ugh, duh.

Our first 100 days is super bland. It isn't even clear from the name that it's against trump. I don't want to like the facebook page because it looks like I'm "liking" a pro-trump page.

This is almost as bad as the Not Our President slogan, which immediately backfired.

Think about the messaging behind the words you guys use.

Calling, emailing, and/or writing your congressional representatives (state and federal) is a great idea. Every day might be a little much but they need to know that you are paying attention... it matters. Most offices keep stats and at the very least mention it if not have full discussion in their meetings and briefings.
Also getting involved locally in a political or social public action group is imperative to making change or progressing an agenda. It's just as important as voting.
There's an old saying that makes pretty good sense to me that says, "Think global, act local! "

@7,

1) Clinton pressed Trump to accept the results of the election. She might not have realized that, when he said the thing was rigged, he meant he was rigging it.Now, if she says anything, she's afraid she'll look like she demanded he do she something she won't do.

2) The Clinton-Gore wing of the Democratic party are weaklings. They whine. Everything is always everyone else's fault. They never ask themselves where they screwed up, or how they could have done better. And they just give up without a fight. They think people just give you power. The truth is, you have to reach out and take it.

@13,

You're bad at math. Clinton ran the Presidency for 8, not 16 years. Gore never ran it at all.

@ 15,

I said the Clinton-Gore wing of the Democratic Party. You responded to that designation. And by definition, the Clinton-Gore wing consists of.... Clinton and Gore.

Did you read my post before you replied to it?

@16:

So, a "wing" only has two members? Did they run things double-handedly for the entire 8 years they were in office?

Maybe you all could wear diaper pins?

17,

There's only one President at a time, Comte. Maybe you should try taking a civics class, or maybe read the Constitution before you post

@19: What COMTE is obliquely hinting at (presumably to see if you have the intelligence to pick up on it) is that President Obama is a member of that same Clinton-Gore moderate wing of the Democratic Party, a wing that consists of more than just the two headliners.
You DENSE motherfucker.

Please wait...
