The dumbest thing is how we still haven't done anything close to what France and other countries are doing to actually make their voice heard. Won't change my mind. Yes, you should go vote. You should also overthrow the government.
We should start with a national, general strike.
Only if we use the free time to physically hurt the people in power. If everyone just ends up sitting at home or on the side of the road it won't accomplish much of anything especially since they know we'll eventually return to work and they can outlast us.
It would be nice but it's functionally impossible due to the size and spread out nature of the US. Half the country could shut down and the other half wouldn't even feel it. You'd need every port city and shipping company, ship rail and truck, you'd need virtually every service worker, you'd need a majority of financial institutions, in every major city in every state. And they'd need to hold for weeks. It's not possible, and wouldn't be even if we didn't have the awful dog-eat-dog antisocial bullshit culture we have.
I’m down for both.
Both is a great idea. Both should be the suggestion for every reasonable person.
Halloween has been designated as the night we cut down all flock cameras, perhaps we can add to the list?
America should call the French for help overthrowing the government, like they did 250 years ago
This is our problem, not theirs.
France isn't overthrowing their government, they're protesting. Huge difference.
Too late to vote now. Republicans aren't leaving so if Americans want their country back, they need to take action. Spoiler, they won't.
If it was too late to vote the republicans wouldn't be trying to stop people from voting.
