Yep!

Organize your apartment buildings, into tenant unions!

Organize the block you live in.

Together we stand, divided we beg.

Dem approvals are so f'n low, because not even the dems remotely represent the working class, as a party. Some individuals in the party try to, but that dissent is squashed by party leadership.

The solution?

Organize. Your. Fucking. Workplace.

Your terms, are acceptable.

I think there's a fair chance to get Alaska in as a separate province... They have closer ties to Canada, by and large, than they do with the mainland. Economic and social.

Not advocating for death penalty, it’s categorically wrong.

It's not. The death penalty is suitable for things like genocide... Or even being a propagandist for crimes against humanity.

For example, the world would positively be a better place, if Elon Musk was executed for his aiding of crimes against humanity.

That’s why I’m telling you, housing doesn’t drop

House prices cratered during 2008-2014... So did interest rates.

I was lucky enough to be able to leverage a VA loan, and had a solid and secure job during the 2008 recession, which is the ONLY reason I was able to buy a home. Ever.

I couldn't do it today. Not 3 years ago during "The bestest economies evar!" Not 6 years ago while the admin was "Making American Great Again"...

Nope, it was because of a recession, so houses sat on market for 4 or 5 months. Almost any offer was being taken. I even talked the seller down 9K on my home. That's how bad it was.

Another year of this, and these threats will carry about as much weight as North Korea threatening you with sanctions.

Why did you even take the order in the first place if you can’t manage to produce them to spec?

They were made to spec, but the specs were wrong.

And that’s all that non-organized protest will ever achieve.

Who is suggesting anyone do non-organized protests?

People are asking individuals to “stand up” like it would accomplish anything and all it would likely do is destroy some rando’s career or end with them in legal trouble that they can’t afford.

For starters, if fired, their career is already over.

And no, we're not demanding individuals stand up... We're demanding the entire civil servant corp do so.

Additionally, legal trouble is the least of the person's concerns in a fascist state. "Legal" is what the state determines is ok, not what is morally ok. And people need to get used to doing illegal things right now, because it's going to become a requirement to resist quite soon if we don't take drastic, and emphatic action like, right now.
