They’re… Not. They’re literally not organizing anyone. You organize people by giving them things to do, and on that particular front Bernie is failing miserably.
Well what the fuck are you doing about besides bitching on the internet? I’m genuinely asking because it seems like you’re doing nothing as well. We are way past the time to sit around and expect shit to get done without doing something ourselves.
You’re a tool lmao. If you want to be cynical about everything and shit on everyone congrats to you. So brave. So helpful. You’re truly the bastion of salvation brother.
The day was described by social movement researchers as “the largest protest event in human history”.[1]
I don’t want to burst the feeling of optimism, but unless there’s consequences, a general strike, riots, whatever, I don’t know, something, nothing will happen.
If everyone goes back to their day job after standing out in the cold for a day or two and then pats themselves on the back saying “yeah, we showed them”, then nothing changes.
Protest is dead. The powers that be don’t care if there’s a million people shouting and screaming. Unless they suffer consequences, nothing will change.
Exactly. As horrific as the Kent State Massacre was, it changed people’s perceptions of the anti-war protestors. Suddenly these weren’t just a bunch of whiny kids who didn’t want to get drafted, these were people who didn’t want to die senseless deaths. Imagine if the Kent State Massacre never happened and the protest carried on without incident. Nothing would have changed.
Sometimes we need to move beyond reductive outcomes based thinking and put some energy into how we get there. This is, at the very least, how we start.
Oh, did we decide on a plan yet? Or are we just meeting in groups for no reason? Can you link me to this plan? Can I see the progression? Are there any projected timelines?
If this is a project, which it is, we should have some kind of data to look at.
And since there is none, this is just going nowhere.
That’s pretty cool. Nothing is gonna happen.

30k ppl showed up. That happened.
Damn straight. Right after a previous rally where 15k showed up.
These rallies are how you organize people. This is exactly what needs to be happening.

I’m hoping this is the recruitment phase for something.
I’d like it to be, but seeing Bernie’s track record over the last decade I’m not convinced.
And yet…. Nothing is happening.

Amen
Protesting in a group and then going home is sitting around and doing nothing, just in the cold.
Me? I’m causing property damage to right-wing things. Obviously saying more would be dumb. Could I do more? Yes.
But, complaining to me like this is enough and I’m the bad guy isn’t going to get us anywhere.
3 months into Trump’s term. These numbers are enormous. I predict the crowds will continue to grow larger.
I agree with you. Crowds will become larger, and they will go home.

You don’t turn 30k heads and be like meh, not only people are fed up people are finally realizing they fucked up. It’s ok to turn around unlike you.
I feel like I wanna point to all the times a big protest amounted to nothing because people just went home after and did nothing.
