I hope everyone is ready for a general strike because that time is coming up at us rapidly.
- AlexandrB 2y agoGeneral strike when >50% of those who voted wanted this? What world are you living in? Edit: I stand corrected, 49.81%. It doesn't change the point much. Especially when that ~49% includes many "working class"[1] voters. Who's going to participate in this general strike? A bunch of office workers?

- outside1234 2y agoI suspect much less than 50% actually wanted legal residents of the United States disappeared to El Salvador. Also, research tells us that it only takes 3.5% to overthrow a government.
- AlexandrB 2y ago> Also, research tells us that it only takes 3.5% to overthrow a government. You're describing a coup or revolution. Isn't that highly anti-democratic considering this president just won an election? Why should the 50% be under the thumb of the 3.5%?
- kccoder 2y ago> just won an election And just as just, violated his oath to the constitution. How long, precisely, should we allow him to violate his oath and our rights?

- SpicyLemonZest 2y agoIf the 50% can't or won't promise me that they won't ship me to El Salvador in a few years, I don't much care about abstract political principles until their power is broken.
