Primary billionaire backing democrats, stop DOGE in its tracks, inform people of their rights, resist fascism rather than let it happen like Schumer is.
how do they plan on doing these things against an oligarchy?
are they organizing a general strike or something?
A general strike should happen, but you know that's not the only way. Small acts of resistance add up to slow the machine.
AOC personally went into a department, passed around letters reminding the staff of their rights and the obligations of their office before DOGE staffers visited the same day, which stalled them enough to get a court injunction in place before DOGE staffers could intrude and be given unfettered access to their systems.
aoc and bernie do pull such stunts, but it hasnt stopped the fascists. how long until trump just says they can do it period? it doesnt inspire much confidence that their strategy to defeat fascism is doing institutional trolling.
im sorry but it really does feel like controlled opposition.
I get the feeling you have. However, if you're going to characterize the concrete actions I have just described as trolling stunts, then there's really not much the two of them can do on their own.
What are you waiting for? A declaration of independence?
Politicians follow the populace, not the other way around.
