  • You are dividing the working class just like the billionaires want you to do. You are demanding that people make a sacrifice of tens of thousands of dollars to accomplish very little.

    This is another fucking purity test that divides the left and makes us incapable of handling the existential threat that is the republican party.

    People who bought cybertrucks? Yeah, fuck 'em. Elon’s right-wing bullshit was very public by the point the cybertruck was released. Those people aren’t with us anyway.

    But you’re discounting over a million people in the US, who generally lean very left, who generally also have the finances to help support political action against this extraordinarily corrupt and dangerous right-wing regime.

    Kill the snake, then we can go back to squabbling.







  • You need a small list of very focused demands. Occupy Wall Street and BLM failed because they started tacking on too many things.

    Here are demands that will fix the core issues at the federal level:

    1. An expansion of the number of seats in the house and senate. At the federal level, each congress person represents far too many constituents. This is not unprecedented; the house has been expanded before.
    2. We must switch from first-past-the-post to proportional representation.
    3. The Senate’s role in passing legislation must be reduced to a time-based veto only. Meaning: a bill passed by the House must be vetoed by the Senate within 90 days or it goes to the president’s desk.
    4. An overturning of the Citizens United decision and publicly funded elections.
    5. Removal of the presidental pardon.

    These five items must be implemented if our democracy is to survive. Everything else can be handled after.
