its hilarious that people still think "going through the proper channels" is going to work. you're playing a game with someone who has cheats activated. playing by the rules aint gonna work if the guy you're playing against rewrites the rules whenever he feels like.

Sure, hopeless. It’s understandable. But we got in a few times and we can do it again if we unite. A clear platform, a slate of dedicated candidates and some breakthrough messaging. It CAN be done.

The bad news is we actually have to do it. The corporate news isn’t going to help until it makes them money.

Watch Americans vote even more fascists into power.

Remember these cowards names when it’s time for them to beg for our votes.

Why wait? The amount of people and goodwill to do this would have the same effect if the same people started striking today.

Strike. Today.

Many people would be homeless off of one missed paycheck.

Many people will be homeless with rising income inequality, the draining of social security, and fascist isolationist policy. We will all be dead when global warming goes unaddressed.

Rip the bandaid off. Act now, the longer you wait the worse the fallout will be.

Yeah no. Whether American democracy will survive will have already been decided by the midterms. The timeline simply doesn't allow for an electoral victory to stop Trump.

I can only hope so. We just has a special election and it was overwhelmingly red in my area.

If voting was actually a threat to totalitarians in power they wouldn't let us do it anyway.

They have been MASSIVELY trying to stop people from voting, what the fuck are you talking about you absolute nincompoop? They keep purging voters and trying to implement new ID requirements and closing polling places and encouraging people to "poll watch" (voter intimidation).
