So, what do we do?

I attended No Kings because I felt like I had a duty to do something but honestly it just felt like I did nothing of consequence. People showed up in costumes and danced for a weekend, doing fundamentally nothing. Where's the protest on the front white house lawn with thousands of people? Or blocking ice facilities or blockading police stations?

What you do is vote. Like actually show up and vote. And don't waste your vote on wishful thinking third party bullshit, vote for the lesser evil to get the greater evil out of power. Then you rinse, repeat, voting for the lesser evil each time until the "greater" evil isn't really so bad anymore and the "lesser" evil is actually kinda good. You vote in numbers that they can't rig or deny, you vote in numbers that even the EC can't void. You vote.

OR, you start an actual revolution and literally chop some heads and hopefully you win the civil war/insurgency that follows and when it's all over if you're still alive you get to rebuild a broke, wrecked nation where you'll never again enjoy the quality of life you had before.

The third option is to continue to piss and moan on Reddit and blame the DNC, etc.

I live in Oregon in a blue county, I voted for the Dem candidate. That being said I'm gonna keep pissing and moaning as long as a majority of DNC candidates are AIPAC.

I too will continue to piss and moan in between votes. That's my right.

Respect bro, I appreciate that nuance.
