Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Oh yeah the don't buy anything day on a day where people have other things to do besides shopping. When I worked retail people didn't really shop during the week. You want to really hit them, hold multiple protests during the early to mid day hours of weekdays and do the no buying stuff on a Sunday, the busiest shopping day of the week (speaking from personal experience). Then don't stop once it rolls over to Monday.
Sounds like a great idea. How many people (raw number or percentage-wise) do you estimate will need to participate in those protests? How do you plan to get them engaged and activated to join your protests? How soon can you get those people out there on the street during the week? I'm all in, where can I sign up?
From doing work with my local PSL group that outwardly hates the Dems and calls them out regularly for being pieces of shit, we do this stuff near weekly. However I don't agree with how many of them turn away anarchists and I tend to be the only one helping them do their violence. The anarchists around here tend to not have anywhere to go for help, so them breaking shit is what I see as the added help we need. Here's just an example of one done during the week.
I did take a look at your site, but I didn't see any real answers to most of my questions in terms of numbers and plans. Sorry. Did I miss those?
