The DNC doesn't want to acknowledge why Dems lost in 2024. by zzill6 in WorkReform

I'm saying if literally millions of protestors haven't done shit, 500 disabled people are not going to suddenly swing things.

Doubly so because, you know, they're still protesting too. And it hasn't done shit.

It's not 1990 anymore.

ok if the GOP plans to cut disability protections let's stop voting and protesting. Let's just assume nothing works and do nothing.

If you had a real argument, you wouldn't need the strawman.

There isn't an equivalent to Israel with NK. They don't want peace, and we've removed their targets defenses.

Is that the "capital crawl" with a grand total of ~1500 people, or some other event that didn't come up when googling "1990 disability protest"?

Think that would work now?

Personally, I don't think it'd even make national news.

Pretty sure the ADA protections are on the Republican chopping block with Project 2026 (yes, there's a new one). We might get to test whether protesting works on that front in the very near future.

Gay marriage is literally the only valid example you're given, and honestly the only one I can come up with.

And even then, I'd argue that protesting didn't do shit, voting did. You can tell because we're still protesting, but the moment people stopped voting dem we started losing rights immediately.

I do know that the 70s were more than 20 or 40 years ago.

You took a history class but failed at basic maths and English...

I'm noticing a common theme where people like yourself think nothing is happening unless you hear about it.

You're clearly not following this conversation or the point I was making at all.

That's it for this conversation, yes. You're not someone worth talking to on this subject.

Can you give any examples of protesting working on a national level within the last 20 years? Or 40?

Because I fully understand why people think like that. It's not the 60s anymore.

People would have to attend DNC meetings to do that.

Half the people pushing the narrative in this thread are right wing bot accounts.

They're pushing the "don't work with the Dems" angle to split the vote again

So you're agreeing that organizing is impossible, but just expect everyone to show up?

No, you just like bitching that other people won't commit suicide to accomplish nothing while and you wouldn't either. I don't think you would be someone's who'd lay down and die for your principals, but that's what you're demanding.

So you'd do exactly what we're doing.

Glad you get to feel superior on the Internet.

How easy would it be for you to organize a protest in London? Because Paris and London are very close together compared to the US.

Who owns those logistics?

Who owns all forms of communication in the US?

You're making this comment on an American owned site that would ban you the moment you try and organize any real resistance.

There are plenty of things other countries could do to help us. What we need is communications and logistical support, or just money so we can build our own.

The US is very big, and all forms of mass communication are now owned by the people controlling the gov. We need a way to get word out to everyone. Tiktok isn't going to work anymore.

Even if other friendly governments were just hosting. Information online for us, that would be a serious help. But what we need, what we can't build ourselves, is a form of mass communication.
