  • For what it’s worth, I’ve been going to all the big ones, and each time I’ve gone, I’ve gotten one or two more people to come with me. Today my whole family is going to one in another state because we’ve been talking about it in our group chat. And I’ve got about 8 friends meeting me at the one in my town.

    I went alone to the first protest I went to a year ago, now I have 10+ allies with me. They’re growing. To your point, it’s not fast enough, but I’m really inspired by how many people that did NOT give 1 single fuck a year ago, are making signs to march with me today






  • I was talking about the hypothetical scenario where you gave it to them and were miffed it didn’t go towards food, so I agree 100% with what you’re saying. Don’t give your money away if you can’t afford to let someone else do what they want with it.

    A lot of people don’t mind giving someone something they need without placing conditions on it. But it’s okay to be different.


  • It’s weird to give someone money and care what they do with it unless you’re expecting them to pay you back someday. You’re giving it away, so it’s expendable to you, and you’ll probably never interact with the person again, so it’s odd to care about the specifics beyond “I hope this helps.”

    You’ll never give them enough money to actually change their situation, and that’s not your fault but it’s also not your problem, it’s theirs. If they think they need a cigarette more than a sandwich, who am I to tell them they are wrong? It’s their money now, not mine.











  • The majority of the voting population answers this question based on name recognition alone. You’re way more up to speed on the options than the average American voter. We need to put energy into getting people like AOC in front of as many disengaged and unaware people as possible. NOT complain and whine that everything isn’t handed to us on a platter.

    She’s in second place and we have 3 years to move her into first, that sounds worth a shot to me. But go ahead and throw your hands up in the air, tuck your tail, and say there’s nothing we can do.

    We are closer than we’ve ever been in my lifetime.
