Loudly shout out, "you lie," repeatedly in unison.

Wear Ukrainian colors.

Wear blue and yellow. Carry upside down (distressed) American flags. At the first major lie, yell and walk out as a group.

This is what needs to be done.

Stand with your back to him. Don't give up your place; occupy your place, but give him your back.

Wait for the speech to start, then have one Dem start walking out. As soon as they reach the door to the chamber, the next one gets up and starts walking out. Maintain a continuous spectacle. At any chance to speak, say the same thing: “We must restore the rule of law.”

Skip that BS. It’s just a pack of lies. Do something useful and set the resistance on fire. It’s time.

Put EarPods on with some really rocking tunes. And invite Pres Zelensky.

Turn your back to him. And wear sweatsuits.

Somebody needs to shout “Liar!”

Not go. Or show up and then leave one by one.

Fight like hell for all of us!!

Go. When he speaks, stand up and turn your backs. Then, walk the hell out.

Grow a spine. Thats what Democrats should do.

Anyone who attends should wear those neck braces for whiplash...

All wear black. When he takes the podium, stand up and turn your back. Remain standing with back turned and head bowed during the entire regurgitation of bullshit. Bonus points if your suit jacket has an upside down U.S. flag on the back.

You should all dress in fatigues like Zelenskyy. Don’t boycott, makes you seem petulant.

Boycott

I think democrats should take the truth to red states and districts (similar to Bernie). Help American people to see what is really occurring and how impactful it is to them. Play hard ball with every lever available.

Well you want to make sure that if you Boycott that the Republicans don’t decide to vote on something important while you aren’t there. I wouldn’t put it past them.

This is your moment AOC, show the party was a leader looks like.

Volunteer to help for things the right hates during his State of the Union.

Don't show up, but I would fill those seats with people fired by the Musk administration... I mean the orange clown administration.

Do not attend. Make a giant stink outside and counter program. Treat them like the danger that they are. Relentlessly reinforce that narrative with your actions.

Do not show up. Hold a alternate Dem SOTU to distract media.

Don't go. Imagine he's an emerging Hitler or Pol Pot and act accordingly

Boycott. But, short of that, whatever you do, since you WILL do something, wont you?

Announce a shadow cabinet that will respond to each and every unconstitutional power grab and destruction of American influence abroad as the Trump administration and shameless GOP turns to blatant authoritarian corruption, and what Dems will do to stop it. And keep doing it, daily.

The Dems need to become a serious political party before anything else.

The election was stolen twice, we all know this but dems can't do nothing .

Don't go. Hold your own.

Get out of your districts and hold town halls everywhere

I take my last reply back. I agree with others that Dems should show up in Ukrainian colors to show solidarity.

Not attend.

Tough question. I think that all Democrats should bring a flag and a poster of the Constitution. When he lies, hold both up for the world to see that our country's values and morals will overcome all attacks.

Split up so the progressive wing can form a true leftist party.

(1) I would not attend. (2) Hold a town hall in a red district!

Yell in unison “Sir that is a lie” every time he lies!

Walk out in protest

Don't go.

I know the justice system is in the courts' hands but still. There must be something that could be done.

It's situations like this that give the "Do-nothing Democrats" stereotype validity. There are a few democrats that really feel like they care, but you've also got the Democratic Party leadership talking about "good billionaires" Idk what y'all could do; some people are calling for a new party atp.

Mass walk-out would be powerful and show Democrats are united.

My first choice would be to not go. If you must go, stand with your back to him

Seriously, don’t go. Let half the room be empty for their MAGA circle jerk.

Do not go. Each of you hold your own press conference in your localities at the time he is holding his address. The less eyes on him; the less validity he accumulates.

Just stay away. Anything else looks petty.

Start reaching out with fervor to the people fired from the Trump administration and the military leaders who resigned. Do everything you can to earn allies and inroads with those in the armed forces and who know the workings of critical govt infrastructure. I suspect you won't regret it.

I would organize with all democrats to not go. He is destroying our country and is our enemy. But at the same time, rally with us, the Americans who need opposition leadership

I think everyone should wear the colors of Ukraine to support Zelenskyy and dark glasses to represent how blind Trump is to the needs and wants of the American people.

Democrats should go, wait until Donald is at the podium, and the second he starts speaking, one by one, quietly get up, turn their backs on him, and walk out. Very solemnly. He cares more about crowd size than keeping Americans alive, so that seems like an excellent way to get under his thin skin.

Hire a team of comedians to pitch you via an earpiece snappy answers to his stupid ramblings.

Boycott. Norms are dead. Stop pretending this is business as usual. Don’t legitimize his propaganda.

I cant legally type what you should do

Do not attend

Go to red districts and talk to the Republicans the party abandoned.

Walk out. We are not united in any way...and being there seems complicit. Show solidarity to the Americans that still support the constitution.

You should invite farmers who lost their funding, people who lost their jobs, people losing life saving benefits, etc. so that every Republican there has to look them in the eye. Bonus points if you find a way to introduce them & have to shake hands. And no polite clapping.

Dress in all black. No white shirts, no colored ties, and minimal jewelry. It will be a stunning image on screen.

Please boycott. Please host a livestream. Fucking sick of most Dems acting like business as usual.

skip it. hold town halls in your district. hold a rally outside the capitol

Or wear blue and gold

Don’t go

Boycott

Not expecting one day to be a magic day but AFTER TODAY If the SOTU isn’t the place for the dems to agitate and disrupt?WHEN? Is this really going to be another day we normalize a coup? Protests will be happening all over the country. Maybe do that with your colleagues? I don’t know 🤷‍♀️ surprise me

Don’t go.

Hold town halls in red districts.

Don’t go. Fan out across the country and hold the town halls in every district the republicans are afraid of. We need to take back the power.

I would disrupt it. You think those two “ladies” from Colorado and Georgia were disruptive, watch me fact check that MF live during his moment.

You have to be there to give him hell for all the stupid shenanigans he’s pulled, especially today.

Don’t go. So many of your fellow Dems are going to show up and do corny, ineffectual, symbolic “acts of resistance”. Just skip the damn thing.

Wave Ukraine and US flags

Chant “fuck you” every time that Orange Douche Bag speaks.

Walk out and sing patriotic song!

I think you should disrupt but let him start speech with no applause, nothing then 5-10 minutes in start periodic disruptions. Like walkouts or signs a president is not a king & no third terms. Let. Him start and then keep disrupting. keep disruptions so everyone doesn’t get thrown out.

One after one, after each lie he makes, a Dem member stands up says "Bullshit lie" and walks out. Then give statements about the unconstitutional behaviors, lies of administration, and the abject cowardice of congression Republicans to stand up for democracy and the Constitution.

Stay home

Boycott. Speak up. Protest. Do something, please. We're watching our country burn and Dems are standing idly by. Unacceptable.

When you turn your backs to him, have “We, the People…” pinned to your back.

Tell all your voters that you're sorry for ignoring them and cut ties with Israel.

Invite former Ukrainian prisoners of war, Ukrainian children who were kidnapped and escaped.

DO NOT ATTEND. DO NOT GIVE HIM LEGITIMACY. The entire Democratic caucus should use this prime opportunity to acknowledge that his presidency is in violation of the Constitution, which it is, & announce they are backing impeachment + any pathway to his IMMEDIATE REMOVAL. #14thNOW #NowDC nowmarch.org

There are only 2 options. 1) Don't attend. or 2) Be as loud as possible and interrupt.

As Missyopposesfascism said: “Stand with your backs to him for the first 10min. Then do a walk-out, and hold a press conference on the Capitol steps outlining his every abuse of the Constitution since inauguration, with at least one victim present for each to share their story.”

Competing event. A rally. Make it somewhere accessible by public transportation and we will come

We need to begin calling this what it is…a coup. The Dems need to get our country back. We are losing our alliances, our credibility…everything. Fight! Before it goes past the point of no return.

Bring in people who have been impacted by the cuts or people who voted for Trump but are being hurt by his decisions.

Don’t go

Boo. Loudly and repeatedly. Walk out an masse.

As soon as Trump begins speaking, stand and turn your back to him and stay that way for the entire speech. Let the GOP get their knickers in a bunch, but remain unflappable. Peaceful, silent, visual protest will piss them off more than anything and it will knock Trump off balance.

Run a shadow government. Host press conferences around the country with workers laid off, foreign dignitaries. Set up NIH and CDC and FDA as a consortium between Dem states like California, Colorado, New York, Massachusetts. A civil war without fighting to establish a second country within a country

Whatever you do, don't be his props. If you go, you're going to be belittled, berated, and be the butt of his MAGA inside-jokes, often told to crudely his hide threats.

Skip it!

Wear Ukraine yellow and blue. Then walk out. Bonus for double barrel middle fingers.

And can YOU please do the Democratic response?

Go and wear a Ukraine 🇺🇦 colored ensemble.

Boycott

Openly heckle and boo him! After everything MAGA has done to anyone they disagree with, it’s time to show the World that Americans do NOT support Trump, Vance or their supporters. Do NOT go quietly into the night!
