relaying words from a handmade sign I saw at the last one: "Don't Underestimate The Power Of Just Showing Up."
Progressive Politics
Welcome to Progressive Politics! A place for news updates and political discussion from a left perspective. Conservatives and centrists are welcome just try and keep it civil :)
(Sidebar still a work in progress post recommendations if you have them such as reading lists)
But, like, don't overestimate it either.
Monday to Friday people... not on weekends
People want to make an impact they should do it on fucking Black Friday. You need to hit capitalism where it hurts.
PSA for new folks: please don’t feed the troll in this thread.
Do that too, but protesting gives folks the opportunity to connect with local resistance organizations and make a real, ongoing impact.
Sure just like the last one, am I right?
Exactly. Resistance movements take work and time. Or were you expecting instant results with zero time investment?
This shit started 30-40 years ago. How much time do you need?
Depends. How recently did most of the population wake up to the fact that they're getting a raw deal?
Be careful. Im fearful of a false flag type operation where something violent happens and is immediately blamed on the left, when in realityitll be far right thugs. Leave your phones at home and don't give these thugs a reason to place blame on us for violence
i keep saying; do not let fear hold you back! the gop will do the things you fear no matter what, if nothing happens, they will invent a cause. might as well go down swinging
