I imagine at all times that the democrats are using the dumbest possible interpretation of whatever ambiguous concept or word they’ve said.

Are they campaigning?! I haven’t heard anything about what they plan to actually do if they sweep the mid terms.

Understand that you will not be able to take over that party by voting alone. At least acknowledge that. Because the way you talk about it makes me think that the US is absolutely a lost cause when this is how their “leftists” speak.

The judicial system is stacked with Trump supporters.

You’re absolutely right. I’m so sick of American liberals saying “oh we’d prefer a leftist but we gotta go with this guy oh well what do you do”

Like dude, theres lots you can do. But when I suggest those things they’re all excuses and cowardice.

If you DON’t think Newsom is evil then I do not trust you and see you as an enemy to actual positive change.

They aren’t even all that funny to be honest.

Exactly. Americans need to do something else because there isn’t any voting their way out of this. Keep voting democrat, but know that it wont actually fix anything. It’s not meant to.

I am in support, but I’m not going to pretend this will be good enough or even do anything at all. Like be realistic man. Strikes work when they have demands and stop profits indefinitely until those demands are met. That is why they work. I want you guys to win.

I have my own.

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.
