    Medicare/Medicaid/SS cuts will have people rioting. They are playing with fire there.

    Aside from that type of drastic event, I see discontent growing daily. People are fed up with the general unease and sense of unfairness in our system. It takes time for that anger to build but you don’t get 5 million people in the streets in every single state in the country when everyone is just sitting around taking their crap. I am hopeful that this growing movement will begin direct action such as general strikes, but that’s a ways off. For now we just need to keep showing up, and show everyone else that there are a LOT of us and we are PISSED and we’re not taking this laying down.

          Stop it from being passed, stop it from being cut, or etc. I’ve recently also learned a lot from Medicard by Johnny Haris’s youtube channel video about the subject and how its privatized a lot.

            Constant, unrelenting pressure via nonviolent protest is our best tool right now. If they fear they’ll lose the next election they will fall in line. We just need to put that fear in them.
