Said the same thing in 2016, did the work, and then millions didn’t bother to show up and let trump and Republicans take over again.
There’s no point really when America is this God damn stupid.
They’re insulting our ability to multi-task
As opposed to the ones we’re fighting, we have to spend the grand majority of our time just trying to stay alive.
These people have servants to wait on their every need. They have seas of time (and capital) while we run ourselves ragged just to stay afloat.
Because organizing has stopped anything like this in the past…
I get the feeling, but they probably want it to feel like that. Want us tired. Never stop trying.

It absolutely has but you don’t necessarily hear about the atrocities that weren’t.
Check out “On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons From the 20th Century” by Prof. Timothy Snyder, he lists there what are the things that allows it to happen.
It’s a short book and anyone should read it for current times. He also reads it on his YouTube channel.
organizing absolutely has. Ever heard of the civil rights movement and the black panthers? And various kinds of organizing similar to that throughout history?
Now, critically, the organizing that worked wasn’t exactly… non-disruptive. It’s not enough to just stand with signs yelling at designated government hours, it’s about making life hell for those in power, until your demands are met.
Not that I’m advocating this, but one of the reasons America’s media has basically stopped covering any unrest in France is that French protestors have found that fire inspires remarkably rapid government compliance.
Similarly if Corporations are people, physical action seems to be one of few feedback loops left to reverse their constant and invasive overreach, as they line our government officials’ pockets. Nonviolent direct action apparently falls on deaf ears, as seen by BLM, Flint Michigan, Dakota Access Pipeline protests, etc. The State’s “law enforcement” has no such compunctions.
I mean literally yes it’s how Biden won in 2020.
