The ones in office might- but who is in office if\when that happens determines if\how they react. Some might make the policy changes the public is demanding, others might call in the jackboots.
both will call the jackboots when really needed. biden made that threat to railworkers for example, and are constantly doing it to socialists, queers, blacks you name it. its just not shown on the msm.
both parties are subordinated to the same capital masters, hurt their profits enough and they will be forced to respond to us. resisting the jackboots is clearly but sadly a part of it, they aint letting us take away their power easily.
Let me know when the general strike starts. Until then I'll keep voting for whoever isn't actively trying to become a dictator to give you more time. It would be nice if you'd do the bare minimum to help with that but sounds like you have more delusional priorities.
thats not how it works. allow me to explain in good faith:
it did with the railworkers i just mentioned. but then some people got conviced by the "but the economy!!" rhetoric and they shut it down without resistance or questioning.
change are not built by a magical leader who somehow comes to save us its made by us. the leader is just someone at the right place and time to represent us. thats history.
the real delusion here is being comfy enough to think that choosing between two genocidal maniacs will somehow fix the trainwreck we are hurling towards. by all means, go scribble on a stupid fucking rigged ballot and see for yourself if it does anything to stop trump or something. (spoiler: he already won)
in the mean time i suggest you go learn how your own political system works, im not gonna waste that time on you anymore.
Ok allow me to explain in real terms: 50% of the US thinks Donald Trump is a reasonable leader, and you think that you will somehow convince enough of these people to participate in collective direct action before you will convince them to just not vote for a fucking idiot?
if you consider voter turnout, its more like 20-30%ish. in my country, our trump-equivalent had about 25%. you wont convince most of them, and you dont need to.
you dont need the entirety of the population onboard. in fact you can see the amount of damage this 20-30% was and still is able to do.
the railroad strikes, what is their percentage of the population? that got them scared already. with results will come more supporters.
lol- okay then. You've convinced me you in particular probably shouldn't vote so I'm happy to take responsibility for choosing who gets to spend your taxes.
sure man, if you think so
Glad we're in agreement, thanks for the taxes.
