A handful of corporate Dems can decide to surrender -but we don’t have to…
If the Repubs scoff at the effectiveness of that, they can be told it will not be just one; others can follow on very short notice, allowing no time for them to brace for it and drop propaganda that everything is just peachy…
I’m Darwin on this; if after the betrayal by a coterie of corporate Dems (and we always knew that party was defective; though the Repubs have gone full-on insane…) there is no will to call National StrikeS soon, I feel the people get the government they deserve.
You can blame politicos, but following through on national strikes is up to US…
If some people would be afraid of being threatened with a firing (because you don’t have enough sick days…), you could always show up and just not be all that productive on those days -effectively a slow down. Same diff.
Is your employer going to have your back at your next surprise medical emergency? If they are, you would be among a very small number who would have an excuse to not strike…
We are 2 weeks before Thanksgiving and already there are major fissures in the airlines. They are dramatically slowing down the system for safety which means many cancellations and delays. It wouldn’t take much for everything to fold if the Pilots , baggage handlers, and flight attendants all called in sick or went on strike. Air traffic control is on thin ice, they don’t have enough qualified people to match the demand , and the stress is even killing some of these people. The FAA has told Congress the need for system upgrades for years, yet nothing gets done. Perhaps this will precipitate a larger shutdown across the nation, such as trucking, ports , shipping and the like
The strategy is to get the Billionaires Boys Club to cuss out Don for taking it much too far. A bipartisan offer should have allowed insureds to choose their coverage: ACA or Trumpcare (whatever the fuck that is or will be…)
There was a call by the Chicago Mayor at the last No Kings for a national strike. At that time, the focus of No Kings was just to initially show the world that many Americans are not with the program. Now that a handful of corporate Dems betrayed their working class constituents, I think the will for this is there.
If there’s a call for it, I know I will throw down…
For maximal uptake it should be called “A National Strike and Slowdown” (to protect workers who have Trumpkin bosses…) Could be just one of a series of strikes/slowdowns.
If the discussion is started now before a final decision by Congress, they might reconsider on a Trumpcare/ACA choice (though Trump would be terrified of such a referendum by the insured…)

“MAYBE A REVISION” OF THE OLD"French Revelution??” Let’s start the mass building of new “guillotine’s!”, maybe they would get” the idea?!”
<grin>Hmm; my post here -COINCIDENCE??!</grin>
Though I would rather we not end up there and get stuck with a Napoleon later (many have a romantic view of Napoleon; he was a Stalin, without a record being kept of what he was doing…)
