      “Protesting” isn’t what we need. We need them running for office, whether that is president, senator, congressperson, or even for the local school board: a lot of those lower officers will move up over time.

      Just like the remnants of the Tea Party took over the GOP, we need a “Guillotine Party” to redirect the Democrats to focus on the robber baron billionaire class.

        That’s the next step. But running for office is far from being enough without an engaged base, and you get this by sustained protests and other non violent means. Especially if you’re facing a regime with fascist aspirations. Soon it might be too late

      Yes, if that many people would do that it could make a huge difference
