Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."
The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.
The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.
It's time.

Why are you depending on the Democrats to "empower" you? There's your problem, right there. Yes, they're mostly shit, with a small handful of exceptions. I think you mean "shareholders" instead of "stakeholders," but what you're saying is mostly true. The point that I'm making is that it barely matters anymore.
If the fire chief is a cokehead, and we're trying to figure out how to get the fire to stop now that it's in 5 buildings in our big wooden city, I think we should focus on "what the fuck to do" as the OP article is doing, not purely focus on how the fire chief is a cokehead and if we could just get rid of him, things would be okay at last.
I feel like getting rid of the coke head is probably a pretty important step in the overall plan though.
unlike fascists, we don't all agree we need to "get rid of" our political opponents but I do take your point. i would say they quickly become irrelevant once a movement latches on and changes the prevailing political winds. politicians, especially Dems, are cowards. they are like a flag in the wind. they will go wherever the fuck the wind tells them. and we, collectively, make the wind.
I wish that was true, but I think the Dems have made it clear that for them, the oligarchy makes the wind
