Swift? i don't think we should be looking to entertainers for political leadership, that's just following in the footsteps of how we got Trump.

- ceejayoz 2y agoYou're not gonna get a general strike without people with significant national influence pushing for it, and it's not gonna be Chuck Schumer.
- anigbrowl 2y agoThey're not gonna push for it without grassroots organization, which means doing things at the local and online level to get the idea in wide circulation. It's not a startup. Absent this, people will get more and more frustrated which will eventually manifest as riots as it did in 2020. So if you prefer a more peaceable outcome, I think it's better to talk up the idea of a general strike rather than talk it down.
