We’ve had several mass movements about it over the past 15~20 years, the only thing that has worked so far is lead poisoning.
Bernie can read the room. These other fuckers very much less so.
I feel like they can just choose not to because wheres the money in that?!
Yes he can. I am happy he still has a voice.
I’d step back onto the streets with Bernie at the head again. A small part of me still holds that hope from 2016.
Never forget Bernie’s legacy… https://youtu.be/ZlZaVtCT5HI
So many fucking years ago. Ended any passion I had towards politics.
Yeah… it’s hard. If it wasn’t for my student loans I’d only have about $4000 in leftover reoccurring bills outside of the usual living expenses such as rent and utilities today. Back then I donated more to a campaign than I have donated before or since combined for anything I worked hard. Talked to everyone. Helped found a subreddit for election and voting protection through information. I even went to local watch parties.
I think we are ready for that again. Many of us would stand and fight with Bernie, Jon Stewart, AOC. Most of us who were a part of that understand why people chose to not vote for the status quo. But man, fuck, it’s tiring feeling so disjointed and at best loosely aligned.
We need a community.
The others can read the room too; they’re just in an entirely different room.
In the took with CEOs?
Fuck it, i think Luigi’s method is gonna be more effective.
What’s easier, motivating hundreds of thousands of people to get out and protest, or letting a few moderately motivated people take direct action?
Not protest. Y’all need at least a general strike to have a shot at doing something. That or found/get behind a third party and kill the DNC.
You are correct but the person you are responding is more correct
So he wants us to beat ceos. Got it
Mass movement, movement of mass, close enough.
I want to live in the timeline where things Bernie sees actually come true.
If it weren’t for Hillary and the DNC being corrupt, Bernie would have destroyed trump in 2016. I know so many people where I was living in middle America that flipped from Bernie to Trump.
Alright but Hillary Clinton beat Bernie Sanders in the Primary Elections, so the “corruption” you’re referring to is like 30 Million People.
Yes, because of the “super” delegates which was like 20 people who can automatically outvote the other hundreds of delegates.
They are talking about popular vote, not how delegates voted. And they voted according to popular vote. Every time.
I don’t know what will happen if the people will vote differently than delegates would like to, but so far it never happenedIt was real close except for the millions more people who voted for Hillary.
Edit: sorry for the transparency making it hard to read on dark modes.
Orly?
Yeah, vote totals were like 16 Million for Hillary Clinton and 13 Million for Bernie Sanders. Maybe if more people voted in the primaries we would see Bernie at the helm.
I wasn’t in middle America, but experienced the same thing. I still don’t understand it. Is it just populism? If so, not good. I definitely shed friends in 2016.
It’s populism, but it’s a populism of “things definitely aren’t good and need to change”. Hope worked as a democratic message, the dems were seen as the less corporate party, then the reps ran a right wing populist while the dems ran a former first lady who wasn’t acknowledging their needs and fears. The current situation has become one in which the dems see every election in terms of social issues because they don’t see the reality: they’re the party of “we need adults to govern” and the reps are the party of emotive grievance. The dems can’t win the bigot vote by being bigoted enough. But they can win the frustrated vote by running on a platform of reasonable and solid change by those committed to it. But if they di they lose the billiojsires to the fascists.
It’s because Trump advocates for change. Now it’s not good change but he’s definitely not a fan of the status quo, which gets you votes when the other guy is a Democrat centrist beholden to status quo-loving corporate donors.
I would argue that the change he advocates for is in the direction of the worst parts of status quo. The unbridled capitalistic endeavors of the rich, specifically. Very different than Bernie Sanders.
That’s true, but voters who are uneducated or simply don’t care about politics will see what he’s selling and think he’s at least better than the DNC’s “why would you want change? Everything is fine” nonsense.
So it really does just boil down to populism for some folks, then? That’s hard, thanks for posing it this way.
Populism is efficient, yes. You can see that all around the world.
Populism boosted by new media (internet) vs. lobbyism striving to maintain status quo.
I never supported the orange (am Canadian so I don’t get a say) but after Bernie lost in 2016, I kind of wanted him to win (not enough to actually vote differently though).
Why? Cause I knew he would get us here faster.
If we are going on the wrong path before we correct course, might as well do it faster.
I want a revolution, I prefer FDR style, but I guess the only option is French style (which I don’t officially support).
Give it a try Bernie, maybe if you say it someone will listen.
💩
CEOAm I reading this right?
I know we loved the leaded solution and we won’t cry if more happens but yeah at the of the day the system will need a legal reform to properly depose the parasites.
Shootings might continue until morale improves?
My morale is already improving personally. 3 lead tablets a day keeps the insurance companies at bay. Guaranteed to get you a better rate.
RL lakecityquietpills
a mass movement of 3d printed felonies
I didn’t see any felonies
Just a well done job.
Only if that movement is armed.
The problem in my country is that most people are complacent and could care less to do anything about it aside from trying to overthrow the government because they had to wear masks and take a vaccine.
certainly if the movement is fast enough, as we’ve learned.
Say a muzzle velocity of roughly 1100 ft per second?
Sometimes it do be like that
Yes, yes it can.
He is not wrong lol
