    Another large issue is that America is so large that it is not very feasible for Americans to just go on a 1-3 day road trip to DC to protest/riot/whatever else. They leave the friend and family network that could support them the most at home. Protests in local cities can do work, but it is more impactful if the lawmakers responsible are personally impacted in DC imo

      For a General strike, all that is required is that they do not go to work… they can do that from wherever they are.

      You guys love to make up the most ridiculous excuses… who from Minnesota flew to Washington to complain about ICE?! nobody!, you do that were you live
