Well for one, in capitalist democracy you need to have non astro turfed grassroots organization. Labor strikes as well

Asking people who got bills to pay to strike, or risk forming a union and putting their lives at risk isn’t practical today.

Uh yeah that's the problem

So why not take advantage of the system that already exists to make change

Because it’s not edgy enough

Because working within the system isn't a good way for change to materialize

Need more people itt

I can’t see how one can some to this conclusion when people are getting into office making actual changes doing that very thing. Like I said literally writing legislation for people they’ve put in office

List the legislation

One minute

Ok

Still looking this pretty old news hard to find

There was a super pac that used a template for legislation that legislators would use, trying to find where I read that

I give up I can’t find it under the countless articles about pacs. I know a conservative pac had a template for writing legislation and that a state senator used it. My entire point it that pacs have enormous power to sways what our Government does and it’d be stupid not to take advantage.

“ When Congress was considering an unpopular tax reform package in 2017, Cory Bliss — the head of the Congressional Leadership Fund and close ally of House Speaker Paul Ryan — gave House Republicans an ultimatum: the group would not support members who voted against the bill. As the tax reform moved through Congress, senators and representatives were frank about their motivation to pass it to please donors. The Congressional Leadership Fund went on to be the highest-spending super PAC in 2018, shelling out $138 million in support of GOP candidates.”

Yeah this is a bad thing

One of my dream goals is to establish a pac that represents the interest of black people and prop up legislators and legislation that serves our interest. There’s already a precedent set that it works in the highest level of office so why not give it a try

Gl if that's your goal but could just put that energy into more meaningful organizing efforts

Can you show an example of how organization has made any significant change in recent years?

Fight for 15$ movement

But the problem in America is there isnt a lot of connected organized labor movements

Organization can certainly make changes on the local level I’m just thinking larger systematic changes

Uh yeah that's why we need a general strike

And then revolution

Again that’s impractical. Can’t get most Americans to wear a mask. As long as people got the bare essentials and roof over their head their good, that’s why I’m aiming for the top

Ppl deserve a lot more than that

It’s the truth man, this country is too big, and people are too content. You want change you have to play the game
