2 days agoI don’t feel like it’s ever going to progress past this though. It only gets this far because it’s as convenient as possible. The no kings protest emptied out after only a couple hours last time I expect the same here no one commits any amount of sacrifice.
I don’t do enough clearly and while I am being pessimistic I’d like to point out that I’m just saying I don’t think it’s going to progress past these protests not that it’s a worthless endeavor entirely.
I am still very hopeful that something does end up happening I’ve not given up entirely. But most of my opinions based on this have come from direct interaction of many people in these protests several of them have told me that they simply cannot monetarily commit to anything longer they have pooh-poohed the idea of multi-day protests lest a full strike.
I even had some of these people at these protests tell me that they thought the end goal was the protest that this was the win not all of them though but many like I said said they couldn’t even go a single day without the possibility of either losing their job or otherwise and none of them even considered it said it was too risky for them.
