Protesting with a sign and snarky message doesn’t do much. Everyone agreeing to do one simple (non violent) thing would work much better. It has to be just one thing though. The “don’t buy anything” day is ineffective and confusing.

“No kings” day should be more like “No Kings & uninstall Twitter/X” day. At rallies, people could give advice on how to delete their accounts on that platform.

Then at the next rally, it’s cancel Amazon Prime.

Snarky signs still welcome of course.

    Bernie Sanders is older than Trump or Biden. Even though I don’t questions his motivation, it’s time for him to retire and it’s time for younger people to stand up and take the challenge. If the right wing can produce their grifters by the dozens, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to think it’s possible to have a young left wing leader with (financial or other) backing from the public? Maybe Bernie could kick start it, start an NGO to achieve this. But it shouldn’t have to depend on him.

      I think so as well. That’s why I proposed leveraging his wisdom (and face), not make him president. I mean he seems to still have a sharp mind. But I think it’s about time to also do away with 80+ yo dudes to come up with policy. There surely must be someone roughly at working age amongst 350 million people, who’s capable to do that job?! Maybe even with some charisma so they’re able to gather people around them?
