What naysayers don’t get about ‘No Kings,’ the biggest protest in U.S. history

leaders with the most prominent Trump-resistance group organizing “No Kings” answered that complaint Saturday when Indivisible’s Ezra Levin took to the stage in Minneapolis and announced that a nationwide general strike is planned for May 1, modeled after a successful local action that shut down much of that region in January

      Baby step IS voting in a neutral party, even without an agenda, and letting things settle down a bit.

        Oh look, a brand new account using the “both sides” rhetoric. Fuck off with that bullshit. Have such an overwhelming blue wave that the current Republican Party has no chance of ever winning again, then it makes it much easier for the progressives within the Democrat party to differentiate themselves from the corpo-Dems.

        Vote for all the progressives you want in the primaries, but come the general, sitting out or throwing away your vote is voting for a Republican.

        Damn, I typed up a couple paragraphs explaining why only a child can’t understand an enforced two party system, and why an American third party is only ever a spoiler.

        TL:YNWW

        Control primaries, control a party. Trump’s current VP alternated calling DT America’s Hitler and America’s Heroin. He then fell in line because everyone who didn’t got primaried by a Trumptard.

        If you want change, win primaries.
