    You wanna know why no one does anything? Because people post shit like this about how we are fucked and then go about their day feeling like they did something.

      You act like we didnt just have the 3rd biggest protest on American Soil ever. Democracy may die in the dark but in these days thats also where its being saved.

        The bickering isn’t helping. You both have a point, and I agree that more action is needed. Unfortunately, money rules all and protests are not effective in the US unless they are tied to financial outcomes. General strikes may be what it takes to actually yield change.

          Those are happening. But looking at all the movements they probably needed to start all of this during the election, not after the fact. Theres just not enough time now.

            It should’ve started before the election. The time to avoid this outcome was February to August 2024.

              Shit we probably should have convicted him in 2020. A lot of points of failure here. Really doesnt make much sense.
