Oh man. Do you mean like carrying mass protests to the Washington Mall? Organizing non-violent protests around the blocks of Federal buildings?

I guess we're all just helpless bystanders, vote and pray. No organzing resistance anymore like in the 1700s, 1800s or 1900s.

> Do you mean like...

I don't "mean" anything, since I asked a question. If you're trying to communicate that our options are things like "mass protests", why communicate it in such a condescending manner?

We can hear things in our minds in many ways. Your question was open to interpretation in two distinct ways: 1: Enumerate some ways, please. 2: I think not, why do you think so?

I interpreted as #2. You, however, might disagree that these are actually options for any number of reasons. Perhaps you do? There are other stronger ones, of course. As an intelligent human, living within some national political framework, I'm sure you can think of others. Since your question hinted you thought there were none at all, "do you mean like" is testing whether these fit your definition.
