    Ding ding ding. We can’t get healthcare if we’re unemployed, we’ve been broke for a long time, and we can’t pay the rent if we lose our jobs. Calling out to protest when our bosses can fire us for literally any reason means we’re inches from homelessness at any given time.

        It’s a lot to ask people be homeless for “the cause” a cause with no defined leaders, demands, or support. Build a community where people know they’ll have a couch to sleep on, a meal in their stomachs and hope to be rehired once it’s said and done and you’ll get your revolution. Everyone wants to skip the build a community part and go straight to the uprising but it doesn’t work that way

        That’d be fine if I was alone, but I have my wife to worry about and there is no way I’m leaving her to be homeless.

          I respect the position. Its up to each individual to decide for themselves if they want to be the slaves who keep themselves down or if you deserve and then demand better.

        It’s like we have to. Voting? People think voting is going to change things? Not when we’ve got an active tyrant looking to upset voting polls at the mid-terms or worse, the next general election. Especially when we have a political party that outright will not play things fair and square once they got power.

        Voting is like a passive aggressive way of change. We’re past that point and we’ve been past that point.

          You use the tools available to you and escalate as the situation demands. Voting is an imperfect, but important tool. Use it while you still can.
