    Country wide general strike. Tank the stock market by withholding the engine of commerce. Demand to reforge our democracy and if needed eat the rich.

      How realistic is that, though? If you were around for Occupy Wallstreet, the media quickly painted the movement as a bunch of kooks, crackpots, and criminals simply by focusing on the few nutty people in the crowd and it died not long after.

      What we need is leverage against these two bloated, entrenched parties who don’t need to do anything for us to win our vote because they’ll get it anyway.

        Shawn Fain is (or was) trying to get unions on board for an annual general strike in the coming years. I doubt it will succeed, but there is at least an idea!
