NoKings is this weekend, millions are speaking out together
- tremon 8mo agoYes. The problem is, it is only this weekend.
- verdverm 8mo ago1. It's the first of the year, there will be more NoKings 2. There are many more protest besides NoKings 3. Direct Action is better than no action. We only vote once every 1/2/4 years. This helps get people moving, to take their first steps. Case in point, this year I am printing whistles and information

- tartoran 8mo agoWhat do you suggest instead?
- com 8mo agoYou’ll get crickets. These people don’t want a state of citizens, they want a kingdom of serfs because they think they’ll make it into tiny aristo élite.
- kelipso 8mo agoActual disruptive protests that have actual goals. Having a roadside party with signs and calling it a protest is just pathetic, ineffective, and embarrassing. These people simply are not serious people.
- tartoran 8mo agoIf you have better ideas I urge you to volunteer to organize protests, set goals, etc. You may have an actual impact.
- verdverm 8mo agoHow do you square your opinion with multiple NoKings days at the top of the list of largest protests in US history? Perhaps that there are mini demonstrations (as you have described) every day is a sign that the frustration is more persistent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_protests_and_demonstrations_in_the_United_States_by_size https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_protests_and_demonstra...
- kelipso 8mo agoThe size of these “protests” compared to their complete lack of results proves my point.
- pvaldes 8mo agoA lose of time and rage. NoKings starting a new political party around the movement, or explaining how to do it to people, so youngsters can fire the GOP for good... that would change the game. THAT would send the clear message that politicians will hear with fear. But marching, not, It will not change anything. Is just distracting the frog in the bath for a little more, while the slow cooking coup continues. Unless the politicians think that they personally have something to lose, they will not care.
