Effective: “Today I am calling for the immediate arrest and trial of agents involved in the murders and abuses of state citizens”
Ineffective: “please leave”
We will, at the very least, find out immediately which side the army will fall on.
The second they confront or lock up the 'federal agents' The army will be called in. The administration want tanks on the streets, a show of power.
Ineffective: "please leave"
Also ineffective: "I call for X"
Effective: "I will be funding and giving media access to local self-defense groups, worker organizing, and mutual aid orgs. The threat comes from the state apparatus and the only way it can be defeated is by grassroots organizing"
What are you doing?
One of the primary goals of grassroots organizing is to take power. Walz already has the power. He should wield the state power against the federal government.
doesnt look like has interest into doing anything, then just repeating words like schumer and jefferies just for the sake of political points. he isnt even re-running for ree-lection he has little to lose, buts hes shilling like he needs to be re-elected. i wouldnt be surprised if someone dropped a big check in back account right after this.
I mean, maybe.
In Walz' case, I don't necessarily think it's money. I don't think a bribe is necessary, it's just a cultural expectation among DNC politicians that you must be limp, ineffective, meek, weak-willed, civil to a near suicidal degree, and ambitionless.
But, those virtues ultimately come from the (corporate) consultants anyway, and I'm not much interested in defending Walz right now either, so fuck it. May as well be fucking bribed.
I'm not in the US, but I'm already militant in such organizations in my home country.
I'm sorry, I meant what are you doing in this comment section. As in, "what are you trying to accomplish."
[edit] Also, I'm just going to assume these are good organizations: Right on, man. I'm glad you're out there helping your fellow people.
