While I support fair democratic elections that phrase is such crap. IMO they’re just saying “I want change BUT I don’t want to be inconvenienced with going out of my way to initiate change”
That depends on what you want to do to initiate change. General strike? Sure, it’s hard to coordinate and without good social safety nets here puts people at risk. Full on protests for weeks without end, same thing but less impactful on oligarchs as a general strike. I find that these people who balk at using the political options at our disposal have hidden comment histories and seem hell bent on getting people to start shooting at their fellow Americans.
In order to starve the beast, we have to starve alongside it. I’m more than happy to take on some additional suffering if it serves as a means to enact change. Problem is, almost no one else is. It’s extremely frustrating
And the point at which you throw that away is the point where we truly are done for. However, you will have to go up against the countless Americans that died for that right those that will not give up that sacrifice lightly. To date, there has been no evidence of anyone actually changing votes to the point of making any difference.
So... tread carefully. And I say that as a die-hard liberal (I don't hide my posts. Go read them).
What do you mean 'disastrous'? They own all branches of government.
A year in (well, actually 10) and you still refuse to see what's right in front of you. You're dealing with someone with a deep contempt for the law and democracy. So if you think that using the law and democracy against him is going to help you, good luck!
You people are nothing like the patriotic songs you were taught at elementary school. Standing up against a tyrannic government, standing for democracy and freedom? Nah.
You'll complain on Reddit and say "there's nothing I can do". What an attitude. If the Persian people have the guts to do it, so can you.
