European nations do general Strikes because they don't have an alternative. America has the unique option of shutting off the GOVERNMENT'S money instead of our own. So why don't we do what works best for US, instead of following the tired old European model, that simply won't be effective in America?

We can try to hurt the Sociopathic Oligarchs with strikes, but they'll just spend their endless fortunes fighting back. But if we hurt the politicians badly, and convincingly threaten them with more in the future, we can make them more afraid of US, than their desire for more money from the Sociopathic Oligarchs.

I just don't see how self-inflicted wounds are going to convince MAGA psychopaths to behave. They. Don't. Care. About. Us. We can hurt ourselves all day long, and they'll just watch and laugh.

What politicians care about is themselves and their money, so hurt them in THEIR pocketbooks, not ours. That will wake them up real fast. We're seeing it right now in this partial shutdown. They are flailing all over the place, but NOTHING is working for them, and everybody knows they are running out of all their options.

The SAVE Act will NOT be passed, and DHS will NOT be funded unless they take those masks off. This is due to the Dems hanging tough and not giving up this time, unlike that shameful, humiliating surrender last Fall. THAT government shutdown should still be going on.

For me, that was the last straw for the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Schumer. Those two loser need to get the hook and be dragged offstage.

To paraphrase General Patton: We won't win by hurting ourselves, we will win by hurting THEM. So let's hurt them real bad, in every way possible. That will make them listen.
