If you don’t think we can win in the voting booth, we can’t win nonviolently, and we probably can’t win using violence, either. Voting is the non violent way to change things.
To win we just need to look at the success of the teabaggers. They ran people at the bottom - school boards, county positions and local city councils. It took about ten years for those to move up the power chain to congress. Of course they achieved power through the backing of tons of very wealthy conservatives, state-of-the-art propaganda and experts at cheating, sprinkled with borderline violence.
Time for the people of the US to do some kind of a peaceful overthrowing of the system
Have you ever seen a peaceful overthrow of a government before? I haven’t.
Czechoslovakia did it.
That’s about the only example I can think of.
They did? They just assumed control after a large majority was already dead.
The dissolution of Czechoslovakia was probably the only time in history that a state just voted to dissolve without violence.
Yeah, I’m not arguing with you, BUT…there was a ton of violence before, just not directly related. It’s a power vacuum by violence.

I don’t mind the way if the people there can get some kind of progress going, while it’s wrong to condone a violent uprising.
Peaceful movement can of course turn into a self defense situation which is ethically understandable.
That’s what voting against Trump looks like.
We cant expel sex offenders and insurectionists from government, you think you can peacefully overthrow the whole thing?
Definitely would take a lot of people physically present at least
It’s impossible to peacefully overthrow a violent opposition.
Sideeye from the voting booth
Goes back to voting

Too bad that even that voting system is rigged to only two options
Hard agree.
