Current and former employees of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are calling on Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to resign, warning that job cuts and proposed funding reductions will hurt the agency’s ability to protect the public from future health outbreaks.
This is what needs to be happening everywhere. Definitely something that should be applauded. Is anyone taking up a collection to help fund and cover these people who are taking actual risks right now?
Peaceful protests will not work at all, even if properly funded. And non peaceful protests will probably things worse. Full rebellion will just break things not fix them.
Only the democrats winning again and really fixing up things will work.
But during the Biden administration, the democrats with both chambers of congress and the presidency failed to adequately fix most damage from the first Trump administration.
It’s hard to adequately express how fucked things are. There are no solutions that liberals will accept
Do you have any evidence of this? If so you should write your own article. Literally an someone that thought the same as you looked into things and found otherwise. The article was just posted for it. look forward to seeing your research and reasoning on the subject.
Evidence of protests not working ?
I believe that user is talking about this post (link to article). They are requesting some evidence or research that supports the contrary claim you are making.
Yea, I saw that and responded
Specifically the peaceful ones. You said they don’t work that it requires violence.
The violent ones will only reduce people in threat of round ups to concentration camps, those are vital to have and I think more us needed.
The topic here was undoing sabotage to critical resources and other changes like that.
I finally saw your link in the text, it did not show up in the response very clearly , and only saw it when I viewed here again.
I don’t think that article is relevant to my opinion which is that no protest whether peaceful or violent can undo the policy changes.
But think some protests can help rescue people from being kidnapped, but that is not a change undoing the sabotage of vital institutions.
I had a bit of a brain fart and hit wrong button posting before I had fully written. That’s on me not on you.
And yes protesting isn’t going to change policy directly. Only new policy will change policy. But protests often leads to new policy.
They’re going to look for every reason to discount and disregard protests however. Specifically highlighting any small instances of violence. And specifically because it can change policy eventually.
If the leadership is either democratically elected or authoritarian. Here, it is neither, but instead a mishmash of things that do not respond much to protests of any type . At most protests will lead to superficial changes
Sure they will, but everybody has to do it. If the economy ground to a halt, people couldn’t go to the grocery store, couldn’t fly, no rail or goods moving across the country. You better believe it would work. Its the most nonviolent way to end this craziness. But it requires coordination.
People absolutely can be that dysfunctional on a large scale. There is no current coordination from a central point or collective of like minded people. And there is no guarantee such will develop. There are many countries this is true
This reads just like a domestic abuse victim defending their abuser.
The democrats aren’t going to fix this and have no intention of making anything better for you and me. Giving them “just one more chance” isn’t the answer.
I’m saying a functional Democratic Party is the only solution, it does not exist. No amount of violence or peaceful intentions will change that
