What you do is veto and pass executive orders to show your dissatisfaction with current congress and hope this gets you enough publicity to win seats in midterms.
When has that ever worked? Republicans cannot be shamed into doing the right thing. We have seen this consistently time and time again. You could probably make some inroads with Democrats though.
Nonetheless, that shouldn’t be the goal. The goal should be taking the presidency, the Senate, and the House. At the very least, if you’re capable of winning the presidency, your party should be able to take a good number of seats in Congress if you have people running. Maximizing that number will make the presidency more successful, and that will require people running for those positions in every state, and most importantly, the support of the third party in cultivating those candidates.
What? I never said shaming into doing the right thing, I said advocating an ideology and hoping others follow it
Again, you might get some Democrats, but you aren’t going to get any Republicans. I edited my comment after you posted this I believe, but the general idea of what I’m saying is that you need as many seats in Congress as possible to have a smooth and successful presidency. The goal should not be compromise with Democrats from the outset. It should be having the presidency, House, and Senate.
That requires the party to seriously invest in other races.
