I was at one yesterday and while you’re 100% right, I’m hoping that what we’re doing right now is building a head of steam, the US has never really protested on this scale before and getting everyone out is gonna take time to organize. Next one is set for the 19th. If we get a bigger turn out then and keep it up that’s how we generate the momentum for daily protests and general strikes going. It’s not enough at all but I was encouraged by the turn out I saw versus other rallies this year
Yes! All the people saying “not enough” or “it needs to be a certain way” need to STFU. The US does not have a protest culture, we’re building one right now. Protests are growing in size and frequency and people are boycotting businesses and it is hurting the companies being boycotted. Target is reporting fewer people coming into their stores and sales are down. Tesla is self reporting 13% decline in sales and the stock is losing value. Things are working and we’re building up our resistance. We need to keep it up.
Those who are critical of the efforts, put up a better idea (that people will realistically do) and show the receipts. Otherwise you might as well be a fascist cause you’re helping their side.
Serbia’s been under their oppressive government for ten years now. Is only been 3 months in the US. The comparisons to Turkey and Serbia are completely ridiculous.
Needs to be daily before anything happens
Once, in a weekend, means nothing. We need to be out there constantly, everyday
This is a good start, but it’s only a very very quiet start

Speaking with some organizers… that is exactly the point: build steam to kick off a mass movement in the streets, if needed.

Yeah, look at Serbia. And they are only partway through as well.
