I mean you gotta do way more than this. But its a kind of start. I didn’t realize it was a general strike for… like a day or ten days or whatever. Kind of defeats the purpose of a strike.

Seriously. You’re supposed to strike until you get what you are demanding. Otherwise its just… nothing.

I will absolutely be doing everything in my power to do my civic duty of killing at least 8 American invaders before I am killed.

Newsom is unelectable and will not beat Trump or a Trump surrogate in the next federal election, and will not do anything to fix what Trump has done if he does get elected. It doesn’t matter how much voter shaming you do. Understand this, please, for the love of God. I do not want my country to have to go to war against yours.

Like I doubt it will do anything. But it’s better than a peaceful protest once a month and telling people to vote harder.

Heres the reality though. A general strike will be hard to coordinate, and has to have major support, and has to assume that a lot of people can afford to not work, and are willing to suffer for it.

And the wealthy can and will outlast you anyway.

It’s a step in the right direction, but a more useful and respectable one is what happened to Jack Lang. And those leftists in Minnesota brandishing guns. That is the proper, reasonable, responsible action that needs to be taken. It is the only option left at this point, if you want to actually save your country.

Okay but I absolutely can point to the democrats losing elections against objectively unpopular republican candidates in federal elections.

How many times do you guys have to lose against Trump before you realize that the candidates you’re backing aren’t electable? You haven’t even tried a candidate that is true bonafide leftist.

Except mamdani. Who won his election.

Oh hey Americans actually trying to do something! Good job.

Stop saying that bullshit nonsense. He is not “good”. We don’t demand perfection, we demand that these people don’t be genocidal right wing fascist light.

I hate whatever pundit told you all to say “dont let perfect be the enemy of good.” It makes me feel like I’m talking to a bunch of programmed robots.

No, you aren’t, and haven’t been for my entire fucking life.

Well, I hope you guys at least try. Because I can’t fault someone for trying and failing but I absolutely can fault someone for not trying.

Are you certain? Because that has not been my experience personally.

Well I’m more optimistic. It is NOT too late to do something. It is not too late for the American citizens to show the rest of the world that they do not want World War 3, that they do know right from wrong, and that they aren’t too selfish and cowardly to do something about it.

Lol fucking same. But as I’m getting older I have little faith in that anymore.

In Canada anyway the US government has been influencing our elections openly in bad faith and also threatening to annex and invade us this year. I don’t see you guys coming back from that one without some massive, major shifts in government and culture.

Yeah I’ve got some bad news for you. For as long as I’ve been alive, at least in Canada, we’ve not had a high opinion of the US. And we like you guys more than most countries.

One of my buddies invited me to a music festival in the states this summer and I was like “why in the everloving fuck would anyone in Canada go to the USA right now?” Like you realize they are threatening to INVADE us and go to war with our allies right?

You’re right, but I feel like we should have a better standard for who’s allowed to be a cop in general for a lot of reasons.

Court room cop seems like a gravy ass fucking job though.

“Its okay, when the primaries come we are gonna really vote hard and get democrats that will FIX THIS!!!

I’m gonna vote for and support the establishment guy though.”

Well, I sure hate that.
