This Is the Way to Stop Elon Musk
Senate Democrats have the power to block federal contracts to Tesla and SpaceX. It’s the path to pushing Musk out of politics.
If it doesn't involve a guillotine, or at least the threat of one, it won't solve the problem.
I was hoping the article would be a discussion of the various merits of different calibres.

It's up to us all as a collective to be the next luigi
if enough like minded people start meeting up because they’re angry….
I clicked through, mildly hoping to read something useful. The article calls upon Dems to save us. Closed the tab. Nothing will be done.
Nothing will be done.
That's not true. They'll whine, ask for civilian donations, and pass legislation that benefits their corporate donors.
If one were to read the first line of the article: "Senate Democrats have the power to block federal contracts to Tesla and SpaceX. It’s the path to pushing Musk out of politics."
And a few paraphraphs down: "How can all of this be accomplished? The first step is for members of Congress to take a strong public stand against any government contracts awarded to Musk’s companies. From there, elected officials should begin turning their stated opposition into actual votes. The most powerful tool for this is in the hands of the U.S. Senate: the filibuster. Forty-one U.S. senators could use the filibuster to block most legislation that enables the funding of Musk’s companies. With 53 Republicans, 45 Democrats, and two independents in the Senate, such a push is numerically possible, though politically difficult."
Just do it! Encourage your representatives to JUST DO IT!! Block him at every turn.
It might, it might not. We do know that it pisses the ones in the House off whenever people ask them to oppose anything, though.

Why do people assume that the dems oppose fascism?
Calling everyone right of you a fascist dissolves the unity of the left and erases the meaning of "fascist". Neoliberalism is inherently right-wing and the Democrats have done plenty that deserves criticism, but America has, in the main, become more progressive and egalitarian over the past few decades under Democrat law-making. "Democrats welcome fascism" is an ignorant insinuation and you know it.
Because they have a long history of pushing for civil rights of minority groups. There have been many tangible gains over the last 6 decades. Are you just very young and don't know how bad things were before improvements pushed primarily by Democrats?
Oh I dunno, maybe bcz they do.
Since when? For my entire life they've been more concerned with bipartisanship and appeasing right-wingers than opposing them.
