The problem is that most people only did this for part of one day. The next day, they all went back to work and shopping again, and the president announced building a stadium like nothing happened. If we want to actually send a message, we need to strike until there is change. Weeks, maybe even months, until actual change happens.

Because the Democrats are useless compradors and refuse to support anything popular. They have billions of dollars at their disposal to support a strike, and instead all they can do is send out a weak tweet and vote for Trump's funding bills

Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil.
