    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).

          (edit, add last paragraph)

            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.

              Sounds pretty good. Whens easiest to travel soonest March if it’s not snowing? Maybe Ides?

              Unless someone wants to quickrun something for Thanks and Shopping Day. Why not both?

              I should start brining eggs for salad now. And maybe make some hats. It’s breezey at cookouts, and if Everybody is there, Somebody ran out with everything but a hat. Odds. But it will be nice to have something to bake for. It can leiven things/jk.

              How’s your bullet list looking? Anyone else you know working on their list of demands?

              I’m a fan of Wages, Hours, and Conditions ; Nothing about us without us ; and Once We Become The State We Must Refit Justice and Penality lest we become fascist in act.

              Gotta keep it short, but make sure no one in the neighborhood gets politically sacrificed. It’s tough. s

              Idk. Briarchat and video streaming might save the bauhaus this time… but this drunk driving the u.s. fed can’t bake-in over summer.

              besides that it’s many kidnappings and cages overdue, of course.

            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.
