A lot of my local orgs got people from protests like these, though. A lot of Bernie organizers were from Occupy for example, and a lot of Bernie people are in my local commie orgs. We just need to keep moving them left. Somehow.
I'm not sure of that part. Feel like that's for someone more charismatic than me, but that also feels lazy and surrendering lol.
Chatting in person. Signs to make them think.
Protests are basically gatherings of people who are unhappy but don’t have an idea on a solution.
As if they had a solution.. they would be out there doing that instead.
There's a reason lib orgs complain about communists "Hijacking" protests. Very occasionally that's true (usually due to some Trots) but mostly they're just complaining that someone is offering a solution beyond whining at the government.
