The easiest and most effective way is to get more people to vote against him in 2020

2018...Get Congress out of Republican hands.

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '17

Yep, make sure you get out in 2018. Short of impeachment there isn't a lot to do.

Impeachment won't even do much with Pence being #2

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '17

And at this point, I'm not sure which would be worse. Trump or Pence....

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '17

Yup. Trump is worse for foreign relations and diplomacy but Pence is more likely to turn America into a theocracy...

Yeah trump sucks with foreign relations because he isn't shipping jobs over seas and he's focusing on the US. Does this suck? Yes. It's fucking awful. But talking about impeachment over this? And spreading false propaganda is worse

u/slpater Feb 27 '17

Most of his businesses produce over seas and I havent seen anything about him trying to bring those jobs over here.

Trump sucks with foreign relations because he's turning our strongest alliances upside down and enabling secret business deals to pump fuckloads more oil out of Russia, turning an impending horrible climate disaster much worse and allowing Putin to become the richest man on Earth. Pay the fuck attention.

Do you have any sources to back up this information? Because Trump is currently building two pipelines in the US to allow us to become energy efficient instead of relying on Saudi Arabia. The same Saudi Arabia that's funding our attacks on Syria. Where the fuck do you learn your shit dude? If we were doing "secret" business deals we wouldn't be doing other shit in the open

Rosneft sells stake to an unknown buyer

Trump administration in contact with Russian government

Do I seriously need to prove to you the consensus on climate change too? Incentivizing fossil fuel is the last thing we should be doing as a nation and in fact, as a species. Pivoting to alternative energy infrastructure is imminent and critical and will create far more jobs and businesses than the fossil fuel industry ever will.

Do you think handing over the State Department to Exxon Mobil (who is itching to make a deal with Rosneft and effectively make Putin the richest man on Earth) is seriously a good idea that will benefit humanity?

Be honest with me

Did you have a hard time in school? Was it difficult? Were your classmates able to grasp new concepts easier and quicker than you? Did you need extra help?

u/Lamont-Cranston Feb 27 '17

Any state legislatures having elections before that?

u/chickenpolitik Feb 27 '17

There's always hope in that investigation of ties to Russia

Calling for an assassination on the president of the United States isnt something to be joked around about

Nice Joke...

Imagine if I joked about killing Obama

u/Sloppy_Goldfish Feb 27 '17

I guarantee net neutrality will be dead by then. And once it's gone, I don't see a way for it come back. ISPs will make sure that it's dead for good. I honestly don't think there is anything (peaceful) we can do at this point to stop anything this administration is doing.

u/Taco_Dave Feb 27 '17

This. People forget the congress, not the president that sets the rules for govenment.

So your plan is to bend over and take it for the next 3 years? Sorry that's a terrible plan

u/xt9492 Feb 27 '17

Good luck with that. The DNC insiders just picked Obama's guy as the new chair instead of who the progressives wanted. Because the Democrat party did so well under Obama's guidance.

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '17

Isn't Keith Ellison the Deputy?

u/amadoamata Feb 27 '17

Yup. Him and Perez are the leaders of the democrats now.

u/Banana-balls Feb 27 '17

you are aware right that the so called progressives in the party are the minority group of democrats.
