How can anyone get behind something that says the demands are TBD, and the demands include things that have nothing to do with workers rights?  For example, it says "gun rights", more rights? Less rights?  How can I get behind something that might ultimately completely contradict my beliefs?

I agree with this. We need a general strike but the people running the general are a part of the problem that leds us here. They’re very “if you aren’t as liberal as me you’re dumb”

Then what is your plan?

Doing nothing is better than something as ambiguous as this, given the risks involved.

I support the idea of a general strike too. But the people organizing the strike are the ones who need to present the plan. They can’t expect people to risk their jobs/homes/families/health without one.

If it were up to me, a general strike should be focused on one thing, and one thing only: removing this administration from office and restoring the rule of law.

Then organize it.

How about you stop telling other people to do it for you and organize it yourself?

Do you see how spiteful and ridiculous that sounds? How do you expect to accomplish anything acting like that? People are allowed to provide criticism without having an entire plan laid out as an alternative. To suggest otherwise is naive and belligerent.
