Please don’t vote Republican.

    The Democratic Party will not save you.

    Democrats elected into office will not save you.

    Direct action by a lot of people that threatens everything those in power hold dear is what we need.

    Since we don’t have salted nukes, maybe general strikes might work if we can get around 5% of the workforce to cooperate.

    Note that they promised defunding police and abolishing ICE in 2020 to quell the unrest. And then they just rolled back the promise after it was quieter. We can’t trust them.

    They need not just to fear for their lives, but for the continued existence of everything around them.

    That’s what we have to plan for.

    The conservatives killed Big Bird and the Democrats will do a vigil. Maybe they can say a prayer after US citizens start disappearing.

    I hope they don’t decide to run a meme campaign again. They wasted three months of campaign time meming about joy in 2024, for all the good that did.

    What they need to do is talk about how much poorer people are, what they’ll do to stop the scorched-earth spending cuts and layoffs, and only that, over and over and over again.
