go ahead and ruin the ending
be that same shit that happened with Reagan and that removed wife of his
big slashes in healthcare spending with less healthcare for citizens, shit is going to cost more because of tarrifs, and nothing will change it but the controllers of the puppets that "run" the government will make it so
be asshat democrat that claims he is progressive like bernie that will claim on the peoples side the whole time
a democrat gets elected in 2028 and claims all is saved and then the next or the next after that we then vote in republicans
not that they actually get "voted in" since the elections are all a sham and the winners prepicked everytime
wash and repeat
only a mass upstart is changing anything - job walkouts, nonstop protests, no consumerism
things that will never happen anywhere please prove me wrong
I mean, the big "ruin the ending" is that none of these protests in Oregon will actually mean anything.
Trump and his crew don't care what Oregon thinks.
2/2 Senators and 5/6 Representatives are already Democrats and are on the same side as the protest.
The one Republican rep, Cliff Bentz, OR-2, has no incentive to change.

I went to the one in Portland. It was such good energy- it invigorates everyone present. It gives us energy to do other things as well.
The fact that Trump doesn’t care about Oregon doesn’t mean that “doing nothing” is a better option. Don’t discourage people from taking action. If we are gathering and talking to each other we’re more likely to find and join in other efforts.
Speaking of which - what is it that you would suggest the good people of Oregon be doing to make a difference?
#1 thing to make a difference is to take the protests to D.C. Shut that shit down.
I've seen estimates that, globally, around 5 million people protested, but because it was distributed, they are being safely ignored.
Get even HALF that to D.C. and cripple the city? That's something that can't be ignored.
I did this more when I lived on the east coast and could hop on a bus - but it’s wicked expensive to fly and get a hotel. 😛 I have done it, and would be willing to again - I just can’t afford it regularly.
Oh, it definitely needs to be planned in advance.
and neither does the Democrats
the two "parties" siphon off support from real parties until just a dried husk of country exists that feeds off of the impoverished warm bodies that will litter the United States
I mean, at that point there are no "real" parties. You have two corporatist parties running the show, and a bunch of fringe candidates from fringe parties.
I get it, Vermin Supreme is hilarious, he's not a serious candidate from a serious party.

Might as well write in "Emperor Norton" at that point:
