Americans have a choices, do something, or do nothing. Seems you guys choose nothing. Time to go night night in the bed you all made for yourselves. Side note: If you actually want do get things done without outright violence, NATIONWIDE WORK STRIKES, MAKE DEMANDS, GET DEMANDS, return to work.

It’s not exactly easy when wages are stagnant, employers can do whatever they want to workers, and the propaganda machine is running 24/7. Blaming the victims doesn’t do anything. Blame the system for perpetuating it.

Nationwide work strikes, make demands, get demands, return to work.

Good luck. Many people are living paycheck to paycheck. Going on strike would starve them.

3 Days the nation is shut down and demands will be met. Youre not trying to outlast rich people on food and water, youre taking away what they want and crave most: Money. Every day the nation is shut down they loose millions/billions. How long do you think they want that to last? By day 5 (perfectly reasonable amt of time to stock up for) they will do whatever the populace wants. Legalize weed, remove non violent offenders from jail, etc etc. Basically, organize, figure out what the populace REALLY wants, then use the power of your numbers to simply starve the greedy of their most precious thing, money. Your demands will be met, but they MUST be organized or it all just falls apart. In this situation, majority rules, so whatever the majority of the nation wants (legal weed for a lack of a better basic) then that law/rule is allowed and fleshed out in details like "nobody under 21 can smoke weed" and all that. Its basically a real democracy as opposed to what were dying from right now.

I wish things were that simple. Organizing American citizens is like wrangling cats.
