I wonder if the court would have the same opinion if rioters broke into the Supreme Court mid session and just didnt touch any paperwork.
They got upset over a guy hydrating to Kavanagh's(?) place with a gun and calling the police on himself. They would absolutely not rule the same if it happened to them or was done by dems.

So what are you doing to accomplish that?

Walls of text on CE do absolutely fucking nothing on that front, you're gonna need different examples.

Unless this is one of those "other people need to fight and bleed but not me I'm delicate" things.

I disagree. Walls of text can spread awareness, motivate others to take action, invite discussions, open dialogues on finding solutions, etc. I may not know exactly what I need to do to stop this oppression but I would say voicing my outrage over it is certainly preferable to throwing my hands up in the air and say, "yep our country's laws are being trampled over... nothing we can do about it" and shrug it off like there isn't anything we can do about it.

Then by your logic, there is no cause to rally others. No reason to voice outcry, communicate to others how this is wrong, and that things need to change. It's already "joever".

Get out of here with that defeatist, apathetic mentality.

If you want to lie down and wait to die, that's your prerogative.

Don't expect everyone else to give up. Admittedly us common folk have little individual power, but I just can't abide surrendering to fascists.

Fucking comies in this topic think trying to violently ignore democracy and staging a violent over throw of the government with promises and screams to execute anyone and everyone is somehow 'against democracy'

Really tells you have far the country of FREEDOM and founder of DEMOCRACY has fallen when you cant violently try to install a Christian fascist leader who stands for zero Christian values and stands for everything Jesus says was wrong

I'd rather everyone be Farquad or talk tough while doing fuck all than have people like you trying to browbeat people into compliance with a corrupt and failing institution.

At least Farquad was willing to sacrifice something. You're not even offering a struggle. Just giving up straight away.

Poking fun at someone voicing their disapproval online where more people are likely to listen than where they reside do absolutely fucking nothing on that front, you're gonna need different examples.

Unless this is one of those, "I'm gonna smirk and poke fun at other people getting mad at injustice but not me I have real solutions to these problems that I won't disclose" type of things.

One person volunteering/rallying to Biden's support in is helpful. Several people volunteering/rallying to Biden's support on account of someone's "pontificating" is very helpful. Several thousand volunteering/rallying to Biden's support on account of someone(s)' "pontificating" creates change.

Let's join Biden's campaign together and stop acting like it's too late for us to course correct this ship.

Working alongside the local efforts in campaigning, fundraising, and assorted grassroots efforts, among the other things I do in my role in my nonprofit.

I've been doxxed here before so that's what you get.

Not incredibly impressive, but it's a small town thing and I can't get as involved as when I was in a city, it's the best I can do from here.

And you're posting walls of text for six people to see and two to read.

Get up and go do something, and you'll be able to undermine my entire point.

Wouldn't that be something.

You're right. Terrorist insurrectionists getting away with sieging Congress certainly isn't anything worth posting about....

You yourself said 50 people here live in potential swing states. That's 50 people that can get motivated into voting to prevent this injustice by hearing this. That's 50 people that can get motivated into spreading outcry across other mediums/platforms to prevent this injustice by hearing this. That's 50 people that can get motivated into attending rallies literally at those potential swing states to rally more voters to prevent this injustice by hearing this.

But you're right. That small chance just isn't worth making a post. I should follow your lead and literally do nothing.

One side is too docile and is convinced that you can reason with people who want to exterminate you.

So um... it's not looking great.

Well, more to the point, we have politicians that would rather lose to fascists than 'rock the boat' with more progressive values.

Sorry to hear that. I'm proactive in my hometown community as well but I want to do something specifically about this ruling in DC that's a clear breach of our constitution. What can I do about that? I have neither the gas, money, or a working car that can get me there. I'm just someone with internet access, still paying off my student debts, working minimum wage, while volunteering part-time at my local mayor's office.

This. The only radicals are on the right. They'll definitely kill someone to make a point before Dems do anything except "take the high road."

The right would 100% support mowing down anyone they decided was remotely on the left if they showed up to even do a fraction of what they did on Jan 6.

You're going to have a hard time convincing rational people otherwise, given the history and rhetoric of the right.
