      I do everything I can, with the resources I have available to me. I vote, protest, organize, regularly call my reps, donate to independent media, and engage with all my friends and family on the issues whenever possible. What else, specifically, do you suggest?

        Is that what you’re waiting for?! Of course it won’t be easy but this won’t fix itself. The only way out of this is by people like you, ordinary people, getting up and starting to protest.

          My advocation is for unionization. I believe we’re past the point where protests will solve anything. Though they’re still important for awareness, we need to have more tools, and I believe strikes are a very good option.

          But the comment above ignores that the statement above is too late to repair. It’s already been done, and even throwing out trump and his goons will not fix it

            Protesting works because it is visible. When done right it can create a groundswell of support from people who are usually apathetic.

            Throwing them out won’t fix it, but it’s the crucial first step in moving towards it.

        You know you can gather and start protesting, go on the street. Show your dissatisfaction with the current status quo.

        I have been protesting on the streets when I was disagreeing with my own government. I did my part. You can overthrow those fascists.
