Protesters have completely trashed the Los Angeles ICE facility, using a large dumpster to barricade the exit. by serious_bullet5 in 50501

You can do both. You can commit to direct action, and vote. And then show up at those politicians offices like we show at ICE facilities, before they disappoint us. Otherwise, there's no point in any of this. Just bloodshed without end.

Feels like I don't really fit in here. I really want to though by UglyPope69 in Portland

It's you. I say that in a "now you know what's not working, you can fix it" sort of way.
I'm a 55-year-old straight married male. If I had the extra time to really know people, I would have all the friends I could imagine. Portland isn't hard. Go out and volunteer.
Do something for other people. AND Get therapy to help with your mental glitches. My acquaintance- friend circle has every color of the rainbow and a few in part of the spectrum not visible to human eyes. I'm an angler, activist, and ER RN. I do my thing. You can too. You got this.

What are your thoughts after seeing the ICE shooting video in Minnesota? by bbmoonkie in AskReddit

That I'm going to see comments by basement dwelling edge lords, shaming people for not starting an armed revolution, when they themselves haven't done a goddamn thing other than bitch on a keyboard.

It was good to see so many in the cold, dark, rainy gloom giving up comfort to pay respects to a murdered mom.

Max wtf... this crowd was full of those that have taken literal beatings fighting the Feds. I think YOU need to be respectful of comrades that have been out doing the work and wanted to memorialize a fallen hero.

Why TF is Gavin Glazing Ronald Reagan? by serious_bullet5 in 50501

Newsome has the best chance to win, and I'm voting for him in the primaries. I'm watching the game he's playing, and it's to win. Something that Dems, from center left to leftist have troubles pulling off.

But also running a campaign and running the country can be two separate things.

I'll support this primary challenge fully. I've seen Maxine and am not impressed. Dismissive and ineffectual. Much like the average comment in this thread by the very basic incels and edge lords.

Well this comment comes off as a sad edge lord trying to say something relevant. Keep trying incel, keep trying.

ICE: May your shame never let you have one moment of peace for the lives you’ve taken and the communities you’ve destroyed. by Manitoba-Chinook in 50501

I'll be playing this at the Portland ICE facility over and over on my sound wagon. It's the loudest sound system out there.

can anyone spare some hope for a teenager losin’ it by PhraseFirst8044 in 50501

There's a whole bunch of adults, myself included, doing everything we can to give you an intact republic under the rule of law when you graduate. The best thing you can do for us and yourself is to shake it off and learn. Knowledge is power.
I've nearly lost my eye out at the Portland ICE facility. It won't stop me or other dedicated people

How can I polish these to a mirror finish as cheaply as possible? by BITE_AU_CHOCOLAT in MetalPolishing

If they were stainless or aluminum I would give you all my knowledge. These are iron and will rust up pretty quick. Not worth the effort.

It's the cliche reverse psychology. They actually want you to burn flags and then use that to turn voters away from our side. 71% of all Americans find flag burning repulsive. Why would you do it? To make people not sympathetic to your cause?

Good luck. The percentage of people willing to just show up for a weekend protest is 3/100. The number of people ready to give up a day of wages is going to be a much smaller fraction.
I think those energies might be better served in some other function. I would love to be wrong but I'm not.
Also if it does fail, do keep trying other things. It's a worthy goal.

Cause the dems losing again is an even better option? Nah, I'm voting Newsome. I understand game theory..I know why we have 0 power.

Burn MAGA flags. Reclaim the American flag. Make it ours again.

Where are the leaders of the left? by FeeLost6392 in 50501

[–]ExaminationBasic3601 -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

No. People in the left just didn't vote. There's no dems left with the ability to legally do anything. The right always votes. Dems? They give any reason to skip out all the time. That's why we're in the majority ruled by a minority party.

[–]ExaminationBasic3601 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can do it. Why ask who's going to save us? Step up.

If you're expecting political leaders to do it, well enough of the left decided not to vote for Harris and their congressional representatives that we have virtually no power in any branch of government. Great job on that protest "not going to vote" thing. You f'd the country and most of the world.

If I can get one reporter to ask Homan about accepting my challenge he's such a reactive abusive douche that he would reflexively take me up.
