Oligarchy destroyed the social contract and forced nihilism amongst the youth. It’s why the entire world is tilting authoritarian. Democrats need to pivot hard into proper wealth taxation otherwise things will only devolve further. It’s a moral imperative at this point.
Americans need to learn to differentiate between the vehicle and the driver. The democratic party will not affect change until the vast majority of it’s sitting members are primaried.
No need to fix an election when the rich own all the horses in the race.
Yea we keep making random national holidays on every day but voting day. Its crazy how we can just add a banking holiday when ever, but chose not to do November 5th
A general strike would be nice if it went with a political gathering. Striking the current system while trying to rebuild or reclaim what’s worth keeping. A general strike without a cohesive demand and plan for the future is going to be wasted.
general strike/bbq holiday until it becomes national?
The more I live to think on it, the more I think tailgating(sport potluck in farm machinery) may be the missing piece of the modern american strike in mainstream thought.
relatable mobile potluck.
It’s absolutely there on the ground in left protest culture. I mean, any protest big enough or long enough eventually has real anarchists doing their classic number of show up to feed everyone, with alergy and creed options, usually.
Personally I can stand some YeeHaw if everybody gets equity.
Even in Canada they are they trying to enact patriot act style legislation to appease American companies… and there is not now, nor has there ever been, a terrorist justification for it.
Wealth taxation may be an important men’s to an end, but in our discourse we need to emphasize more what benefits would be planned for the tax revenue.
Reducing the wealth of greedy assholes is nice, but by itself only gets so far.
Yea. that’s kind of the problem, no one in power has a plan for education, healthcare, housing, wage stagnation, two-tiered job market, or anything really. But one of the benefits would be not running up a deficit. We spend way too much on interest payments, and we really don’t see the pay off for the money being borrowed. It’s time for a new government the old one broke itself with greed.

It would be nice if people under 50 showed up to the primary. Most incumbent wins are just old people using name recognition to “not rock the boat”.
Sorry, everybody under 50 has to work at the capitalism on Tuesdays.
We’re technically ‘allowed to leave’, but will fall behind on rent immediately. All three sick days have been used up.

Louder for DC ig.
Maybe we just write the bills and invent semi convincing press releases for them now as ratification.
Turning it over a few ways… How would that be for a all in general strike day? pro and con. Mostly pro?
I mean the big problem is always actually The Bills, The Job, The Kids/Dependants, getting there. (and i.d. if you can’t afford to rent an address).
