you still think voting will get you out of the fascism you invited in?
Of course not. If the first move on a chess board was to simply take your opponent’s king, that would always be the first move in every game.
Having the midterm vote suppressed is just one sacrificial pawn in the direction of what needs to be done to eradicate fascism.
Knowing what to do isn’t that valuable if you don’t time it correctly. It’s not just one person or party. It is systemic and requires a critical mass of history to be successful.
hmmm with every erosion of your civil rights and liberties, the job of getting the pedophile president out is just going to be harder and harder... you don't need to wait until the last possible recourse is an actual assassination.
It is beyond my understanding how nobody seems to be actually calling for a General Strike in the USA... and the feeble attempts at marches (which are good) are specifically called far apart and on weekends to ensure they can simply be ignored by the regime
Obligatory reminder that the US is geographically monstrous and organizing a nationwide strike of enough people would be extremely difficult to pull off. We're also extremely tied to our employment for little luxuries like healthcare, and we have very weak worker protection laws, and right now seems like an especially bad time to lose your job protesting for the sake of the half of the country that absolutely loves what Trump is doing, whether they admit it openly or not.
Obligatory reminder that losing democracy, civil rights and liberties is going to suck 100 times more... the more you wait, the worst it will be for you
