Americans largely live paycheck to paycheck, with little to no savings. Without funds, strikes end prematurely due to the threat of starvation and eviction.

and fixing fascism by voting in the fascist election would have required democracy in the first place.

Did you not read what I wrote? It doesn’t matter what “time” it is if you don’t have the necessary tools.

what you wrote has always been a problem and that never stopped strikes.
doing nothing instead won’t solve your problems.

Successful strikes have had strike funds. Unfunded strikes fail.
I never said to do nothing. But action for action’s sake without setting the necessary foundation is foolish and counterproductive.
