We have a general strike happening right now in Minnesota. The current task in my opinion is spreading that to neighboring states, but issues like this tend to get put in a box of their respective states.
Despite the nearly insignificant left wing presence in the US we're trying. But we are easily in a worse position than the KPD was in Nazi Germany, or the italian left under Mussolini. We are significantly less developed ideologically than either example.
That doesn't mean nothing can be done, but the left just isn't big right now, and the masses in the US have been frogs in a pot of water slowly reaching a boiling point for a very long time. People are totally oblivious, apathetic, and comfy sitting around boiling alive.
Even so, left parties are seeing big jumps in membership right now, we are living in the weeks where decades happen. A month from now we could be in an entirely different situation.
Facebook is what free'd me of having to interact with my local DSA /hj
Local DSA posts everything on facebook, I don't have facebook and won't post my face onto there to make it happen.
I email them but they just tell me check the facebook
I try to join the discord but they want to see me at events first, which I can't find, because they are posted on the facebook and I can only scroll down 3 posts before I get asked to login.
I give them my number and my signal but they don't reach out.
Then its targeting a comparatively small amount of people then. Households that make over 180k (which is below your figure of 2 6figure incomes) would be the top 20% of households. And that factors in the high cost of living areas as well, so what you describe is an even smaller amount of people.
And I'm sure the party that keeps winning due to this mindset is going to change the system, I'm sure their corporate donors would allow them to do that.
Definitely. /s
We can achieve a better system, there is nothing so exceptional about the US electoral system, especially the democratic party itself, that we have to confine ourselves to it.
Bandcamp is where you go to download/buy stuff for a band you already know and like. I rarely if ever have listened to music through the website itself, nor have I found new bands through it.
The ice thing would still be happening for sure. She made that clear during her campaign. The difference is when a dem does wrong libs stop showing up to the protests that we organize and tell us "atleast its not trump!" "stop dividing the left" etc.
There are so many large events that get organized by people from several orgs. Many major events in the last few years with PSL, DSA, FRSO, PLP, various trot groups, etc all invited and allowed to speak. What more do you want?
I'm sorry, if what you want is to ignore the history, set aside all our differences and make one big party, that just isn't going to happen.
Why do you say this? Because they use a twitter and an Instagram?
God forbid people use popular free/easy to use platforms while they can for agitation. Communist parties aren't banned in the US (yet) so I don't see why articles like this should be hush hush distributed in controlled channels (at this time).
It's getting to the point I think digital art might legitimately die in favor of traditional paintings and things such as that.
