Whining and bitching is the most American thing you can do. It often means that you see something that can be improved, and democracy is supposed to be about eternal vigilance.

Being proud of your country should mean being proud not of our current laws, but of the constitution that allows us to fix those laws when they are deficient.

What if it doesn’t allow that? Asking for a friend.

You get as many people in the baggage car as you can to coordinate throwing their weight against one side and derail the train. Choo choo motherfuckers.

General strike? We’re working on it. Unfortunately, a hundred years of anti-union propaganda is difficult to crack.

Yeah. I think one of the hardest things I’ve discovered, at least where I live, is that a lot of folks who would also work in fields where they can’t not show up. My mom’s a hospice nurse, I work in animal care. She can’t not attend to her patients and I’m not going to neglect the dogs in my care for a day. We could take the day off symbolically, show solidarity, but the work won’t stop, it’d just be one of our “don’t care” coworkers doing it. Our other struggle has been that, in a relatively union free state, most of the union folks are caught in that “benefits for me, fuck you, go Trump” mentality. Not a blanket accusation of union workers, just a lot of our locals are ladder-pullers.
