I get 3-4 emails daily from the DNC asking for money and nothing about this.

Hands off is the wrong message. Like a bad relationship, "It's time to clean house and get the FUCK OUT!"

"Hands Off" is the right message. It's short, direct, punchy, combative, and doesn't give way to bs attacks from conservatives the way e.g. "defund the police" did. It's also inclusive of every group (except the elites in power of course), while hitting the "no war but class war" vibe pretty well, like it's a common struggle that we're all a part of.

Burning a certain building or company to the ground is the right message. Everyone should be on a FBI watchlist after all the shit he did.

I was just talking about the slogan. You're talking about sending a message through an action. Those are two different things that are not mutually exclusive.

That said, having burning buildings as the "message" is mutually exclusive with rallying millions of people. Personally I'd prefer the instances of vandalism remain fringe events unassociated with the movement so as not to put millions of protesters in danger any more than they already are.

I have a feeling the message is intended to start as a kinda first warning. Like "we are angry". Next one "We're really angry, and in bigger numbers". Next one, "[removed by reddit]".

Angry? Trump pardoned a company, snatched citizens off the street, blew up the federal government, and is allowing the spread of multiple viruses. Banned from reddit comments should be the first response.

Then go and do that. I mean, what are you waiting for?

You're right. It starts with me.
