    I bet he was probably just mad because Trump said Elon gave him a better BJ than Bannon used to..

    Democrats can end this by launching Obama 2028.

    We need to flip red states to blue. Having protests in blue states is not going to get it done. He needs to be impeached by the house and senate. That will only happen if the Dems take both. But.... if he's impeached we just get JD Vance.

    Also, I don't think any of us are important enough to be on their radar. Our platform doesn't reach a whole lot of people. There are a whole what 20-30 people who post in OT?

    I was just thinking today about how hard it must be for a lot of people to cope with losing 8 years of their prime life to this crap. Obama was president during my college years so I’m grateful for that at least.

    Also, would the 2028 election be considered the first overtime election? We could create seasons of presidential competition where they go head to head through obstacle courses and there’d be even a league!! Yeah! And whoever wins gets to be president for a year.

    That seems to have been the Dem model all along. Now, here we are.

    I'm all for doing stuff, but Red States are not going to follow blue states example as far as protests go. Not until a significant portion are destitute from these policies.

    I'm all in for a general strike.

    The democratic party is not and never has been in charge of saving your butt. I don't even know why you think it should be.

    The constitution doesn't say "we the two political parties". It says "we the people".

    If we the people don't care enough to do anything about this, no one will do anything about this.

    Y'all act as though everyone living in a red state votes republican.

    There are plenty of Democrats living in red states. Or even better, swing states that went red this cycle. They're the ones who need to be organizing protests. People in Philadelphia, Detroit, Milwaukee, St Louis, Miami, etc... people in Blue cities surrounded by rural red counties.

    You mean like Occupy Wall Street? Black Lives Matter?

    Those were super successful.

    Without leadership this shit doesn't work.

    Yes, I agree to an extent - a protester in a purple state is more valuable than a protester in a blue state, all other things being equal.
    But, there's value in large numbers, there's value in a truly nationwide movement, and there is value in ramping up pressure on even the bluest of blue state representatives.

    Leaders don't have to hold elective office.

    True. We should probably come up with something better than OWS and BLM had.

    I'm open to suggestions.
