it's also yet another thing where Repubs are like "it's fine because it's using private money not taxpayer money" like is that not just an obvious avenue for bribery and such

i am once again saying that inventory space is a masculine trait

This might be the gummy talking but “Hi, I’m a gummy!”

if this makes influencers redundant we should nationalize this

Metaphor alert

It's this photo if you missed it, savaging the East Wing to make a vanity ballroom.

carne asada money got longer

kind of giving up the whole ghost if your argument is the establishment democrat running as an independent cant win because the republican party candidate is siphoning votes.

Insane article photo

i'm not sure what you mean unless i'm missing sarcasm here, "all we did was walk around outside and it made the president throw a pissbaby fit" is something

"I'd like to go from zero actions to Good Old Fashioned French Riots And Strikes." Well buddy that ain't happening. Your teammates haven't taken any reps at practice yet.

Supposing you aren't convinced of the utility of the Just Get People Outside To Yell Together actions... who do you expect to show up when you think it's time to try whatever you think will be more effective?

Right, it serves as a recruitment drive for all sorts of community organizing. And there's nothing wrong with people getting some "easy reps" in before they do anything more "involved."

(That's obviously really simplified, but this is a proportional level of seriousness to any questions like the original post.)

If showing up in mass just for the sake of being a mass of like-minded people was completely ineffective, there wouldn't be measurable home field advantage in sports that's proportional to the number of home team fans and how loud they get.

Earnestly asking it like the nuanced movements of everyone's personal risk calculus should be plainly obvious 48 hours out is also misguided, probably more so than the assumption that Rallying In Mass Is Good, Actually

This just one benefit out of many, but: Trump's agenda requires the cooperation or capitulation of institutions both public and private.

Simply showing that there are millions of people who fervently hate Trump and his agenda makes it harder for those institutions to play ball with the Trump admin.

Everyone has their own personal risk calculus and their own determination of how bad things are. Everyone has their own thresholds for accepting, supporting, or taking part in various types of actions.

Pushing the Overton Window and moving the needles on everyone's gauges are important things.

Periodic temperature check "how many people are with us" demonstrations are good, and what they are meant to accomplish is checking & communicating the growing consensus against the regime.

Various types of actions are necessary. Mass demonstration is one tool in the toolbox.

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

Lanes with a full barrier or a wider curb seem to produce much better compliance.

(And providing so much quality cycling infrastructure that drivership drops significantly and cycling increases a lot is best overall)
