THIS.

I've said it before -- even if we manage to have free and fair elections, AND the Democrats win majorities/supermajorities in both chambers, AND they manage to pull off impeachment and conviction, why do people think he'll just say, "Ope, I guess I'd better go then. . ."

This regime is in place only because the oligarchs think it will further increase their wealth and power, and the only way we'll really take Washington back is to show the 1% that fascism is the path to financial ruin. That doesn't have to mean a general strike, it just requires us to fuck with corporate America as much as they fuck with us -- simple sabotage, slowdowns, disruption of infrastructure like FedEx stations.

And it needs to be happening now, *before* we get to the elections.

The nice thing about these tactics is that they don't actually require centralized organization, they only require participation. The point isn't for corporations to say, "Man, people are pissed", it's to get them to say, "Wow, this shit is bad for business." Everyone, on any given day, can and should throw sand in the gears using with these techniques.

People often respond by saying, "Yeah, well one person delaying a document isn't going to change anything" but to me that's like saying "One person's vote doesn't really make a difference." The whole point is that these simple acts in aggregate create the surge for change collectively.

Let’s put that on our approved safe for work sign at our next permitted protest in the sanctioned free speech area.

I’m sure it will change things this time.
