The scope of what you can do legally, without even entering civil disobedience territory, is so unspeakably vast.

@pinboard is problematic but right now he’s tweeting our campaign donations from tech companies. This info is public, and people inside and outside the system have so much leverage here it’s uncanny.Show this thread

I hear what you are saying but unless you are a banker, your call isn’t going to get through.
-
I can think of half a dozen situations from the last year where that’s false.
-
Fair enough but if you want to demoralize people send them to a brick wall. I disagree that this is a viable option.
-
If you’re demoralized by a low effort action that fails then I have bad news for any real hope of change and we may as well cash out now
-
I disagree. I just think efforts should be directed to opportunities more likely to have engagement. As I said, shareholders have an opportunity to speak at shareholder meetings. You aren’t getting through on investor calls. The six you know are outliers.
-
Okay, and I ask this in all seriousness: what do you propose as more viable alternatives? I honestly want engagement opportunities. I'm poor, have a disability, and am caring for my disabled mother while working full time. I'm stretched really thin, but voting isn't enough.
-
I don’t think there is a two month/two year solution. Honestly think this is the long game and will take years. And it will start with conversations with people we don’t agree with. One at a time. Patience. But we are frustrated and I don’t know how I’m going to do that either.

First, this is so vague I don't really know what it means or would look like in your estimation. Second, people, including me, have been having conversations this entire time. I personally have found it wildly ineffective, and it certainly didn't stop us from getting here.

Maybe wait until November 7 to start on this. There's other work to be done before then.

Maybe you don't give the advice anymore
-
Maybe you tell me about how much political activism you've done, whelp. And I mean actual political activism. Getting candidates on ballots. Pushing for legislation. Getting voters registered. Not marching in a circle with a sign. No one gives a single fuck about that.
-
Yeah, that's all you do.

The miasma of the world is on you bub

Politicians have cats. Cats have a litter box. Get busy scooping Emily, I'm sure you've had practice.
