I think public action will work if it is used to threaten Reps with a primary battle. Even safe districts commonly have 30% Dems. What if the Dems don't bother running a Dem and instead devote their energies to a liberal running as a Republican in the primary who can then batter the Rep with the votes he gave Donald over stuff like repealing the ACA?

I might be a bit jaded and cynical but I think we've actually gone beyond the point where public opinion matters.
In this I hope to be proven wrong but I doubt I will be

Primaries. Nobody votes in them but strongly motivated people. Reasons for motivation are already mounting up. Congressmen want re-election.I might be a bit jaded and cynical but I think we've actually gone beyond the point where public opinion matters.

If only there were highly motivated people in the off-election year. Oh wait... "identity politics" people care about this sort of thing every day.

Time to change tactics. TRUMP! is an opportunity.
We did not end up with business as usual..this is our chance to make a break for it.

That is true too. Nor did the Republicans have the usual in 2008. There was a black man elected President. That motivated them.
Now the republipukes have not given us the usual either.
If this were Rand Paul or any other, I would accept then grin and bear it..Trump is insane..he's that uncle who was in 'Nam comes over every Christmas and ruins the holiday by getting drunk, saying his racist shit and fist fighting.

Was looking this up and haven't found a ton of news coverage. Just Wikipedia and the star.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indivisible_movement

“I have no illusions that those of us who are horrified by Trump’s election are going to have something miraculous happen. This is not a battle, it’s a siege. But this kind of event gives us energy. And it puts people like Dave Brat on notice: He may have cruised along the first time around, but this is what his life is going to be like now, every day,” said Professor Mary Mullins, 61, a Brat constituent who had not been politically active since her youth.
The movement’s bible is an online manualcalled Indivisible: A Practical Guide for Resisting the Trump Agenda. Written by about 30 former Democratic congressional aides and posted on Google Docs in December, it provides step-by-step advice, based largely on Tea Party tactics, on how to get members of Congress to listen.
Anyone joined the movement or been using the tactics? It says in the article I read that people are Doing this, just no mention if it's working or not. So happy people are fighting against that scum and tyranny.

The right has god to align them and direct them to vote and who for. Pat Robertson and Trump understand this as do most of the other repubs. So 40% are organized already. If you had a savior that all would follow. But I doubt that will happen. It's going to have to get really ugly for people to change. After armagedon you get everything new. How could you fight that? Madrasa style teachings. A lot of older people I know are like this. I talk to a lot of people my age. Old. They will tell me stuff that I dare not tell them they are nuts. I would be ostracized in the community. It's amazing. They are ready to put on the whole armor of god.
That's because they are small people, living small lives..mine all mine and mean spiritedness is what makes them happy.
Little do they know, the comfort they take in their beloved treasures, their family throws right into the garbage the day after they're gone.

Sadly I fear this to be true. My state is so corrupt that it's almost impossible the dems to gain power. The districts look like Hieroglyphics, they are so oddly shaped.I might be a bit jaded and cynical but I think we've actually gone beyond the point where public opinion matters.

Let's be honest. Anybody but the Repubs will have to get OVER 4 million MORE votes to win in the next national election.
I don't believe we can vote our way out of this mess, because the electoral college is fucked.
Either Hail king trump or prepare for civil unrest/war.
That is my plan.
WE
and Clinton is still pumping out commercials.
they deserve themselves.
get ready to hunker down this is not changing anytime soon.
the biggest and most powerful thing that needs to happen; hasn't.
dump Clinton as party leader..as long as she is perceived as leader, the Millenials will protest against the system by staying home, they have no qualms in doing so..they..have..no..qualms..black constituency hasn't bought 'hot sauce in my purse' lie..don't believe me?..see Trump victory.

My state's elected reps are at the forefront of the pushback against Trump.
All I have to say to them is keep up the good work.
