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.
