We made a bet with the Sanders campaign that we could activate enough of a new voter base we could overwhelm an unfair playing field. The establishment responded by closing polling stations and throwing out ballots. We have a new bet now.
We& #39;re betting that we& #39;ve sufficiently demonstrated that our democracy is illegitimate. We& #39;re betting that we& #39;ve demonstrated that we& #39;ve exhausted all "legitimate" civil modes of change. That no single savior is coming to save us. It& #39;s just us, after all.
We& #39;re betting that people are prepared to do what was unthinkable before. Strikes, walk-outs, sick-outs, rent strikes and more. We& #39;re learning what our leverage actually is and now we might be desperate enough to try.
