Not hungry enough

how do 3 men in their 30's not have $500 between them?

Lack of grassroots, well-structured organizing to kickstart a movement in an economy of 250 million workers.

The fact that a general strike hurts smaller and less-wealthy businesses first and hardest. It only further consolidates wealth and market share into the hands of mega corporations.

Loud, terminally online leftists need to stop romanticizing Eastern Europe in the 1950s and address the landscape in front of us today. Economies and the culture we face now is distinct from those in the past and require different tools to dismantle.

The main obstacle is the average American being brainwashed into thinking they are living the best life possible on the planet and that they too can be a millionaire if only they work 60+ hour weeks while sick.

Essentially same situation as North Korea, just less extreme (at least in some aspects).

I like the idea of a government shutdown, rather than a General Strike. A Strike hurts us, a shutdown hurts them. Strikes might work in other countries, because they don't have a mechanism to shut down the government , but we do.

I was all for keeping it locked down last Fall, and all through 2026, and making the Midterm Election Campaign a giant national Food and Health Care drive. Show the nation who really cares, while MAGA loses their minds.

But as soon as the shutdown hit the airports, and the Donor Class couldn't move their operatives around the country, the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries surrendered. We were winning that battle, but we got literally NOTHING in exchange. No wonder MAGA has such disrespectful disdain toward the weak cowardly Democrats. They deserve every bit of MAGA derision.

They aren't going to care if we go on strike and get fired from our jobs and go homeless. But they'll care if we shut down the MAGA government and hurt THEM.
