Am I the only one that believe the US has to go through some sort of painful transition/civil war/revolution to fix it? Is reforms from Democrats enough? (lemmy.ml)

Protests aren’t always about (actually pretty much never about) an immediate demand being met. They’re about getting people together and building a network of likeminded people. They’re about demonstrating to others around you that they might not be alone in thinking things aren’t OK. They’re a step in the process.

I've heard this repeated sooooo many times every time this comes up. So at what point are you actually going to do anything with that "network". Or is it just to find friends to moan with?
