Should Dems Vote No As a Block On Trump Nominees? And How Should The Base React.

[osewalrus]

Should Dems vote no as a block on Trump appointments? And should activists express their displeasure with them voting yes on some and no on others when they want to see a united front?

These are complicated questions. I will not answer yes or no, but will suggest the factors to consider.

This is much of what I've been thinking recently. Is it ok to link to this from my LJ?

Certainly. Feel free.

Normally yes, but we burned that bridge a long time ago. I wish it were otherwise. And I wish the theory that behaving better made things better, not worse, were true. But we are in a very bad place right now where a necessary partner for what's best for the country won't play by the same rules.

Haven't read Warren's post yet.
