      And what is your theory of impact there? We had the largest protests ever for the last four years. As a scholar of protests, I don’t understand what people think streets do. They’re not magic wands.

          Especially in a country where the people in charge are mostly elected without the aid of the geographies where the protests will be located.

          Might be a good time to test general strike capacity: there’s an obvious concrete demand.

          completely agree. "ready, shoot, aim" is not a winning strategy.

          Remind me again who controls the Senate and doesn't give a sh!t about what Democrats or protestors think. The question now is who Trump is going to replace her with

          Protests may not stop Trump but they are messages to Biden that these actions cannot stand

          If nobody can get in or out of the Senate, nobody can vote on a new justice.

          @zeynep You are so consistently sensible that I sometimes doubt your Earthly origins. If your wisdom is Alien, I still welcome it--a seemingly forlorn hope realized, real hope coming from afar.

          Indeed! Protest alone is a fairly limited expression of #peoplepower. The important aspect is mass noncooperation such as strategic direct action to expose/disrupt specific mechanics of our rigged system. Even hypocritical governments need the consent of the governed to function.
