Wishful thinking, but, with Democrats showing their cards by helping Republicans fund ICE who’ve been terrorizing Minnesota and murdering Americans. I can’t really say for certain that I’m going to be voting for them anymore in the future, their track record of holding corrupt people accountable has been atrocious. Stern wording is not what we want, we want to see impeachments, we want to see stubborness, we want to see actions that side with the people than self-interests.

Yet, that’s what we’re really seeing, is self-interests being practiced. No Democrat is going to own their mistakes either, just like Republicans won’t.

If there’s any other candidate in America who we can vote for, who? Because I’m tired of voting for Democrat who’ve proven that they only govern if it means making themselves look good than helping the public get in shape.

    Successful strikes require a strike fund, money to pay bills while hourly workers are not working hours. Americans largely live paycheck to paycheck, with little to no savings. Without funds, strikes end prematurely due to the threat of starvation and eviction.

      and fixing fascism by voting in the fascist election would have required democracy in the first place.

      it’s time to shake their institutions off and pressure them the old fashioned, class conscious way.

          what you wrote has always been a problem and that never stopped strikes.

          doing nothing instead won’t solve your problems.

          yes, there is gonna be sacrifice if you really want your problems solved.

            Successful strikes have had strike funds. Unfunded strikes fail.

            I never said to do nothing. But action for action’s sake without setting the necessary foundation is foolish and counterproductive.

              well, then i guess you are defeated and there is nothing you could ever do against fascism.

                When did I say that? I’m for a general strike, I’m just not for a half-assed general strike that’s doomed to fizzle out within a week.

                  i mean, you are the one shitting on my appeal for you to simply try it. i didn’t mean to imply resisting fascism would be easy at any point either.
