How about we do something about it instead of expecting someone else to?
You go first. Let us know what and how it worked out.
I don’t even know what this text is in reference to and I have no concrete suggestions immediately. But I will be thinking, connecting, and sharing in the coming months as a strategy emerges. Trumpism can still be defeated. The election was plan A but it’s time to come up with plan B. I am thinking that it’s going to take massive organized civil disobedience. We directly disrupt their ability to govern and harm marginalized people.
But it’s going to take more than just me, so I ask everyone here to be ready and participate in whatever capacity you can.
if you want things to change, first you have to find a way to be able to confidently say “I’m ready for things to change”. Then, you have to help other people find a way to say it too. And when there’s finally enough people, nobody has to “go first”.
I mean that's a nice sentiment, but it's not the late 19th century anymore. Even if it was, that's not really how revolutions worked in the past.
The majority of revolutions that have been successful in the past have sprung from pre-arranged hierarchical bodies like the military. There is a reason the US military was developed to be domestically apolitical, and is forbidden to operate in any real sense within the United States.
If there is some sort of revolution it's perfectly reasonable to assume there will be Martyrs, it's also perfectly reasonable to not want to willingly participate in martyrdom.

well buckle up...
I went to DC and yelled at a bunch of brutalist buildings. I'm sure someone in one of those knows a guy who knows someone who sometimes gets close enough to see a representative. I did my part!
There’s a reason peaceful protest is legal, and that’s because it seldom accomplishes anything meaningful.
Yeah! You first
I'm not an American. Does Congress actually have the ability to enforce the laws they write? What would someone expect a Senator to do?
Warren's party currently controls the executive branch. Though she can't enforce the law, she knows and works with those who can.
And they have had that "official acts" thing from the supreme court for months. Zero reason this problem should have ever lasted this long.
works with those who can.
*with those who should be able to

It's a pretty big stretch of the imagination to think that Warren has any ability to get Biden to act that isn't just publicly shaming like this.
I mean yeah but what do you want me specifically to do, I'll chant "lock him up" with as many people as I can, but if I tried to walk up to him and arrest him I'm pretty sure that a secret service agent would blow my head off.
Nick Fuentes address is public and he's still breathing. Tells me all I need to know about liberal activists.
You could say that about all activists. It's not like the leftists don't think Nick Fuentes is a Nazi shitstain. You know it, why are you here posting rather than carrying out the assassination you're condemning others for not performing?
