      There were the government shutdowns but they always cave. Then there’s getting arrested while protesting (not breaking the law BTW, just straight up intimidation), which is honestly the bare minimum at this point. Look up Kat Abu for an example.

      They’re absolutely powerless. There’s literally nothing they can do. If only everybody had voted for them, it would be so much different. \s \s \s

        I mean with a majority in either house couldn’t they just vote down law proposals and make different ones and stuff? Not sure how the US system works
