    That’s why it’s called “organizing.”

    Back in the day, MLK put together a March on Washington with payphones and mimeograph machines.

    When he started, 99% of the population thought Tarzan was a great hero.

      I’m not against actual organizing done by orgs like PSL, but the reality is that large swaths of US public openly and vehemently support Trump.

        Read the history. A lot of the African-American population thought that King was a dangerous radical. He had no access to national media and there were no cell phone camera if the police decided to get frisky.

        No one said it would be easy.

          Seems like we’re talking past each other here. I never said positive change in US is not possible, or that people shouldn’t be organizing. I’m pointing out the current state of the country here. 🤷
