Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Mass networking and marketing for direct action groups that will be better poised to accomplish something with increased numbers? This is such a dumb take.
I see, but that was said after the last protest. And it still took about 4 months to do it again.
When do you think the next protest will be? Will it even be this year?
Listen, I applaud this protest in its essence. Honestly, I do, but they need to be done more frequently. 3 protests a year will do nothing against the obese imbecile, he literally just rode out the paedo Epstein list accusations, and is an adjudged rapist.
Once every 4 months isn't going to cut it, there's too much time in-between for people to forget. Once a month isn't great, but will cause ongoing damage. You've got to admit that more needs to be done, surely...
Populations have inertia, it takes time to shift millions of people. These protests started centuries ago. They're happening more frequently, on a larger scale. That's undeniable progress.
Protests take time to coordinate and build interest. If you have them too frequently then people don't show up as much, and the crowds get smaller, and then they're just this thing that's happening. A little time between let's the anticipation build up and then it becomes an event.
This is a perfectly fine frequency for trying to coordinate millions of people. Yelling about how we need to rush it isn't going to make it go any faster.
Centuries ago come on what BS. And it's not going to build up it's just a vent so people can feel good about doing something. But it's pointless.
Why does it take long for Americans look at yellow shirt protest in France if they would have taken as long their retirement age would have been increased.
It's an extension of the workers rights movement from a century ago, which was an extension of the liberation movement from a century and a half before that, which was an extension of the Magna Carta centuries before that.
This isn't a new threat, it isn't a new movement. It's simply the newest battle in a long war between the people and those who exploit them.
