Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) called on Democrats to press ahead and take “opportunities to fight back” despite President-elect Trump’s triumph in the 2024 U.S. presidential election against Vice President Harris. “Right now, Donald Trump won an election, and the consequences will be real and devastating, but I’m reminding myself and you that on the road ahead, there will still be opportunities to fight back,” Warren said in a video released Wednesday.

“I can’t tell you that we will win all of those fights,” she added. “I can’t tell you that we will win most or even any of them. But when we arrive in each of those moments, you will face a choice to give up or to press forward.” Warren’s video comes shortly after the White House race was called for the Republican nominee who, so far, has carried six out of the seven battleground states, according to Decision Desk HQ’s projections.

Warren, who secured her reelection bid by beating Republican challenger John Deaton, said that the “far right” is banking on Democrats infighting to hinder their ability to bring “change.”

“They are counting on us to point fingers at each other and to lose trust in our ability to ever, ever make change. I absolutely refuse to give them that satisfaction. We will continue to fight for each other,” Warren said while citing the Republicans’ failure to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) during Trump’s first term in the White House.

1. GQP are going to basically tear down....

our established institutions and use their own twisted ideals which unfortunately will destroy our economy and the USA.

2. Today would be the time to start looking at the midterms

and creation of a tidal wave - not just at the federal level, but down at the state level.

3. That is what I am thinking also. The country really blew it this time. They willingly let themselves be led like sheep

to the slaughter. I will never look on the United States in a positive light again.

Everything that happens for the next 2-4 years is on them.

4. In 2018

Democrats had the famous "Blue Tsunami" that took the House back for the first time since losing it in 2010, when it had been controlled by Cheeto Boner and Eddie Munster.

5. What are our options here: run, grovel, whine and bitch, or resist and fight.

Resist and fight back, consistently, peacefully with imagination is the preferable choice for me.

I don’t like fascists.

6. Here here 👏🏼👏🏼

This, a billion times this ☝🏼

I despise fascists, just like the Greatest Generation did. 🇺🇸

7. Thats all well and good on a message board

That we may or may not have in the near future.

9. Which is why we must be just as willing to do it in the real world 🌎

As they did.

10. Agree

Apologies if my post was snarky. I'm finding it hard to contain my anger

[benfranklin1776]

11. No apologies necessary 🙌🏼

If you’re not outraged you're not paying attention as the maxim goes! 🤜🏼🤛🏼

Everyone on this board has the absolute right at this perilous moment to feel rage at the monstrous evil that drove us to this point

And we need to process it and acknowledge it. And then channel it into meaningful action in resisting with every fiber of our being and by any peaceful means necessary to stop the depredations his sociopathic brain would feel no compunction in imposing if he knows there will be no resistance. So righteous anger is our ally in this struggle 💪🏼✊🏼💪🏼☝🏼

12. Message board or not, we can all find ways to resist.

Don’t purchase corporate MSM.
grow some food.
Don’t buy drinks in plastic bottles
Or food wrapped in plastic.
Drink tap water.
Strengthen ties to family, friends, communities.
Drive as little as possible.
Give away what you won’t use.
Resist with art, humor, writing, speaking, attire…
Be creative, one way is better than none. There are untold ways.
Peace

14. I say we go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for this whole thing to blow over!

No just kidding, I'm ready to join the resistance! Fuck Donald Trump and his fascist goons!

8. There arent going to be any

"Opportunities to fight back". What? Protest? TSF can just have everyone shot, and he is immune from accountability. WE ARE NOW LIVING IN A DICTATORSHIP.

People need to open their eyes.

13. There are always ways to resist. See my list above.
