In wake of Donald Trump’s call for Republicans to ‘take over’ voting, senator Ruben Gallego urges citizens to take a stand and give the ‘ultimate response’
The Democratic senator Ruben Gallego has proposed that, should Donald Trump try to sabotage the midterm elections, Americans should respond with a general strike that would “grind the country to a halt”.
Earlier this week the US president called for Republicans to “take over” and “nationalise” voting in at least 15 unspecified locations, repeating his false claims that elections are plagued by widespread fraud.
On Thursday Gallego, a senator for Arizona and an Iraq war veteran, warned that Trump could seek to interfere with the November midterms that will determine control of Congress – and urged citizens to fight fire with fire.
The Dems starting a strike fund or going to distribute food while we strike?
We should use this getting into the news as an opportunity to discuss a general strike for something more important that his job, like abolishing ICE and freeing ppl from detention. We need to be strengthening mutual aid and helping everyone get a couple weeks worth of dry food so that ppl have the means to strike
Nah their millions go their wealthy siblings to consult on how to better reach poor people they have studied from a book on it written by another friend who is 80 now.
You know… Good use of the millions donated by the average people.
