They Know And They Are Fighting You

I used to think that my opponents just didn't know better...while I still think ignorance is a huge issue, as far as POWER goes, they are not honest actors. The perfect example is the fight for black lives...you peacefully kneel, you are disrespectful...you take to the streets, you are a lawless thug...they are not honest actors...they don't care how you disagree, how reasonable you are, they are fighting you and there is no reasoning with them. This is why we can't only "start conversations"...not only "protest"...not "write letters to our congressmen"...and instead ORGANIZE FOR POWER, vote, put people with our values in decision-making positions, build our resources, change the fundamental mechanisms of society so that the public has a working democracy (ranked choice voting, open source electronic voting, getting rid of money in politics, banning gerrymandering, etc). Stop shouting into the void on social media, stop whining to politicians who don't care about you in the least, stop virtue signalling proclamations and platitudes...we must take back all segments of the government, from local to federal...we must build more democratic businesses, unions, and co-ops...we must FORCE change, not beg for it.

Some organizations that are starting this movement are: Our Revolution, Brand New Congress, Justice Democrats, etc. It need not be these specific organizations, but please get organized somehow, vote EVERY TIME, get people registered, get people informed, stop letting these politicians and mainstream media corporations set the narrative...and if you have the means, please get involved directly in your community.
