A Republican representative said "it went great, we now have all their data." So, swings and roundabouts and that.

Don’t forget about the primaries! See if there are any progressive candidates running in the dem primaries on your ballot. Vote for them in the primaries even if you don’t think they have a shot. Even if they don’t win, a close race could be a sign to the establishment dem that things are changing and if they want to keep getting elected (to collect their bribes) then they need to change their platform. Plus every vote for a progressive candidate encourages them to keep fighting the good fight. If you have the time and resources, volunteering if also really good, but obviously not everyone can

All this being said though, yeah I still wish there were just more good candidates

I expected the place I went to have like maybe twenty people and there ended up being hundreds. This is in a deeply red area. We got so many cheers and honks of support from people in traffic. Like it was non-stop horns the whole time. It was only an hour long protest, but it was so incredible. I spoke to a group of 5 protestors who used to be MAGA, but realized they were wrong. They said they were protesting to try to change the minds of the people they used to be like and to make up for helping bring about the meds we're all in. The whole thing made me a lil hopeful for the future and I was riding the good mood from it all the way through Sunday.

November is going to be a bloodbath for the red party.

They said that during the 2 last midterms, too. I'm not certain.

I might be wrong but it doesn't seem the people protesting would be the types that didn't vote.

Downvotes? Voting really is a good idea - in a democracy.
Also credit where its due: The biggest protests in US history is a good thing.

Yeah, but Americans are awful at voting. Maybe we'll be better at allowing things to get so awful that we turn to mass protests and violence.

In a functioning society, the public mood would inspire the Congress to change their behavior. Unfortunately we just keep voting people back in 93% of the time for no reason other than familiarity.

May 1st has been announced.

I didn't wake up today with the intention of being a downer, but the odds of a general strike happening are vanishingly small.

Just not gonna happen.

Americans simply don't have that kind of solidarity or the breathing room to go without a paycheck or lose their jobs.

It's the fastest and least violent way to bring this treasonous government to its knees, but I don't see it happening. I'm not even aware of any historical examples of a general strike on a large scale anywhere.
