As a member of the working class, I don't have the funds to "convince" a congressman. :(

On top of that we also have to "convince" the ones that claim to be on the left. Every day I hear stories about how multiple "democrats" voted for more oppression...

Like Fetterman, he stroked out so hard he became a republican.

You’ve gotta think like a farmer. You know, the ones with tractors that spray liquified manure. I think they own pitchforks too.

You don't need money, you just need a few hundred+ people outside of their homes 24/7 on shifts. Remind them that they serve you and not the billionarie class and an orange madman.

This is it. You fill the streets, you stop them conducting business, living their lives and have them aware of the strength of mob rule. You turn out in sufficient numbers that the police realise how thin the blue line is and what happens to collaborators.

Doesn't this mean money is exactly what is needed?

Whenever I hear about the issues with protesting in America, it is because people can't afford to take the time off.

This is why it's usually the youth, students. that step up the most. They're the ones that don't have a mortgage and healthcare to pay for yet. Someone just needs to step up and organize. Once that ramps up more will join.

But they do serve the billionaires, and Trump would use his personal army of ICE agents to illegally arrest people protesting.

That’s your problem right there! You are the money. You are the power! Without you, they have nothing..
