Dem's aren't even putting in the minimum effort into pretending to be an opposition party.

They're gladly letting it all burn because they lazily expect it to mean easy wins in 2026. Then they'll manage to barely take the House and maaaaybe Senate, and literally do nothing with it.

Fuck em. Saves me the grief of having to convince others they are a sunk cost and investing into them is like robbing ourselves because we never get anything of value back. Or if we do it's canceled out by all the other shit we conceded to corporate america.

Think of Martin, that dude didn't get shit from the dems until he was orginized and marching. The dems weren't on a path to provide rights. He did all the heavy lifting and they slithered into his camp and got him killed.

Laws mean nothing if the Dictator in chief can break them without consequence.

I'm starting to see people rile up, fortunately, but it's not enough. I'm going down to my states senate office with a megaphone and gonna stir some shit up. You should too. People are like lemmings, they won't act until you do.

I honestly don't think these one off protests will force any change personally. They are a start to network and I think we should shift protests to be places to centralize people to a method of communication.

But the only thing that would force the hand of change is a general strike for weeks/months like Georgia is doing.

One decentralized protest organizer is starting a method of collecting sign ups to organize such a protest. Im not sure who the original organizer is but id rather give trust that something will come of it.

Personally, I think I will see if I can be more involved in my local state politics and volunteering. Might see if I can run for local office or if that is feasible.

Read and learn from successful revolutions, and the Marxist tradition in general, which correctly identifies both the root problem, and has a wealth of historical experiences for how to defeat it, the correct and incorrect roads taken, and what worked/didn't. Join working-class parties, and organize for our own interests, so that sociopaths who would be happy sacrificing all of us for the sake of profits, don't control society.
