You think we can't replicate the lessons of the past? The Democratic Party is not doing enough to boost activism at local and state level, as well as failing to concentrate on state and local elections. Such failure is fatal when you realize the states draw the political districts.
Obamacare, Dodd-Frank, 2009 Stimulus, CHIP, Paris climate agreement? The Obama presidency was significantly hampered by Republicans because Democrat voters got complacent in 2010 while the Tea Party galvanized Republican turnout. 2010 was also the census year, which allowed Republican-controlled states to gerrymander. https://www.npr.org/2016/03/04/46905202 ... -heres-why
If people can't even bother to vote in midterms, you think they can launch a revolution with you?
No it's because elections and non violent activism isn't doing the job to enact change.
Like I said, all that shit got reversed or had little to no good impact at large.
How about starting with local elections? What is the goal of your revolution?
Not all of it. I’m sorry no one has a magic wand to fix everything tomorrow.
