The right understands that might equals right. They’re using citizen intimidation to steer judges towards rulings they want. This tactic will likely be more effective than boycotts and peaceful demonstrations. Learn something, people.

    He wasn’t saying to vote third party. He was saying progressive people need to get out and get in the face of office holders, threaten them with personal violence if necessary, for going along with fascist bullshit and trampling on the rights of the helpless.

    He was saying that voting is bullshit. That phone calls & letters to representatives are a little, and getting out on the street matters. Especially if your representative is the other party.

        Yeah but voting is one day every four years. Yeah you should do it. But obviously it can’t be the only thing you do if you actually want to achieve anything politically. And if you act like it’s the only thing, or even the most important thing, you’re fucking up your country. Full stop.

      Yes, exactly, thank you. I thought I put it pretty plainly but I guess it needed further explaining.
