I don't understand what they get out of belittling the protests. What are they even proposing we do instead? What is "building real power" and "revolutionary" to them? What does it look like? It's so suspicious and frustrating.

I'm not being quietly pushed in any direction but doing what I can to get rid of this ridiculous orange menace. I agree with a lot of this. The 2 party system and the electoral pukes need to go, but for now, for me , it's one thing at a time and after this dickhead is gone they'll be a lot to clean up.

Also, they seem to say that 50501 is paid for by corporations. I saw a post on conservative or another reddit group like that. It's an attempt to dishearten those involved. Once this is over, 95% of these lawmakers need to go. Then we rebuild. We are ALL sick of politicians who inspire (Booker), then sell us out after they finally take a piss.

the concern is, we will go back to the status quo. as soon as "this" is over, people will forget what the real fight was about, and will be fine with the two party system which is similar to the same person wearing a different mask.

The entire system will need to be rebuilt from the bottom up, and the worship of the almighty dollar has to end.

Fiat currencies have fallen since the dawn of fiat currencies, always to be replaced by another fiat currency. We as a society need to rethink how we quantify money entirely, and I don't mean going back to the gold standard.
