I’ve found that making assertive statements, for some reason, makes ppl less confused. “I do mine with the over the forehead.” or “I do mine under the arm.” For some reason it just makes them go, “Oh, OK this person does it this way," and then they go back on autopilot.

This happens to me a lot. FYI, they can stick those mouth thermometers under the arm if they don’t have a roll over the forehead thermometer. It makes ppl huffy when I ask, and IDGAF.

From the Guardian. Really helps to show how FPTP is a hideous system where going from 32 to 33 percent is going from historic loss to historic win.

I think a lot of libs have some fantasy that we will just do what France does re: striking if things get too dire, not understanding how much more organized countries that are able to mobilize in this manner are than us and the differences in policing.

I think ppl also don’t get that part of a General Strike is most likely forcing air transport and rail to do a Wildcat Strike because of the legal carve outs where congress has to authorize it or else it’s considered wildcat. And congress will never do that.

Fain’s (UAW President) call for a MayDay 2028 General Strike and his realistic sense about the required timeline to organize on that level vs. what we are seeing now with Dems trying to slap shit together re: Biden replacement. Totally wild to think they can do all this on a dime with no lead time.

It bears repeating that we are in such a precarious place in large part bc we don't have the organization built up for a General Strike. That organization will take years. Among other things, 2024 elections are a choice of what admin you want to organize under.

Right. Fain is no fool. He didn’t just set 2028 randomly. He set it to be the last year of a second Biden term, and also with enough time to build organizational muscle, if we work at a furious pace.
