Would a national general strike bring the republican controlled government to its senses on tRump
and the need for a special prosecutor? There can be only one reason that the majority of republican legislators refuse to acknowledge the need for and act accordingly on this issue. They, too, are complicit in the criminal activities that tRump has been engaging in.
It's time to stop taking this crap from our elected officials. Period, ****ing period!
Apparently someone is having a rather heavy period.

2. If it was economic. If consumers stopped spending money, the
#GreedOverPeople party would tale notice because their donors would notice.
Not one damned EBT Card Day!

4. Workers do not have enough
job security in the US for a strike to work.
Also, strikes and unions are very frowned upon in America.

15. The job security in the immediate term comes from.........
an unemployment rate in the mid-4s. And if it's truly a "general" strike, then a significant portion of the population would have to support it, so it would NOT be "frowned upon".
What if we replaced the strikers with...
...illegal immigrants.

5. It works in other places because their social safety nets aren't tethered to employment.
Unlike here.
They can protest because they have security. Rights just ARE there. Over here, human rights are tied to gainful employment; it's all about "dues paying" and "deserving of". That's never going to change, barring a massive deprogramming in the rural and suburban areas.
The skin color of the slaves has changed but the Dems continue to be the party of slavery where some labor to support the self-selecting elite.

You mean like Greeks rioting for handouts from a completely broke government?

Someone needs to tell DU's political geniuses that Enviro-approved recycling doesn't include stale moldy political ideas.

Everytime the DUmp gets up on their soapbox calling for a national strike I keep getting drawn back to this little gem from ProudDad back in 2011...

I think their definition of "strike" is blocking traffic so real people can't get to work. :thatsright:

You have to be more understanding. So many of them have disabilities - above the neck, especially - that they have no jobs of their own against which they could strike. So of course they have to keep normal people from working.

Roo bars are very popular in Australia. They'd be really useful for interstate strikes and protests

Let them try it here in NC now.

easy enough, why don't we help them out?
Disable all EBT cards for 5 days. That should cover about 80% of the DUmp and assure participation.
DUAC BABY!

Better alert hospital ERs near DU members' homes that they will be receiving extra patients in withdrawal and/or experiencing DTs!
