I honestly don't think these one off protests will force any change personally. They are a start to network and I think we should shift protests to be places to centralize people to a method of communication.

But the only thing that would force the hand of change is a general strike for weeks/months like Georgia is doing.

One decentralized protest organizer is starting a method of collecting sign ups to organize such a protest. Im not sure who the original organizer is but id rather give trust that something will come of it.

Personally, I think I will see if I can be more involved in my local state politics and volunteering. Might see if I can run for local office or if that is feasible.

It’s so dense and stupid to generalise everybody. It’s not like the US has more than 2 parties to vote on and the country is already having an us vs then mentality which cause people of the “other side” to disprove of anything the “other side” does. Does comprise even exist in US dictionaries?

The current moment is like the recent wildfires. All this trash built up over the years and it sort of has to have its time to burn out. Everything just has to find a way to survive it until it runs out of fuel. When the pendulum swings back the other direction, just be ready to rebuild from the natural disaster.

Sorry. But this is total crap. A dictatorship won't burn out by itself. People need to fight for freedom and democracy over and over again. It is not for granted!

And what exactly are leftists doing that is so effective?

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

You're absolutely right, it is clear that telling you to shut the fuck up has had no positive effect

[-] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

What a disingenuous question. Do the leftists have the resources, reach, recognition, institutional support and seer amount of fucking money that liberals do?

[-] holdstrong@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

The average liberal voter, who this meme seems to be targeting, is just as powerless as you are. But yeah let's make fun of them for voting, even though Kamala lost because of poor turnout.
