These are worthwhile events, and leftists shouldn’t shun them. But stopping Trump requires building power. If protests aren’t coupled with organizing, the right will win.

      History doesn’t end when a tyrant takes power.

        I don’t watch videos or use YouTube. If the information in important, people can make a document or a blog about it.

          i recommend going to the rally next time and linking up with the orgs there. put in some work and do some networking, you’ll probably feel a helluva lot better than sitting around bitching about how unfair it all is into the void. speaking from experience on both ends now.

            When I hear of a single thing these “orgs” accomplish, I’ll decide to operate in a group setting.

                You don’t know what I’m doing solo. But you say join an org, and I’m saying they aren’t doing anything or you could show me. Then when you got mad I was right, you lash out with that lazy bs you fed simps always do lmfao.

                  1. We don’t know what organizations are local to you.

                  2. We don’t want to spend time researching organizations’ actions when we don’t know whether or not you’re actually arguing in good faith.

                  The point is you can join and make them do something.

                    I struggle with lack of sales skills. I also know those skills aren’t going to get better with time. Therefore, I will not ever be able to convince people to do what is best for themselves.

            That will be too late, but I’m glad to see someone can monetize this national tragedy
