And Democratic senators like Amy Klobuchar are writing laws to help him

Pretending that the law matters during a fascist coup is not productive.

I was in no way suggesting Booker replace Schumer. I want Booker and the other democrats to pressure Schumer to step down.

A lot of words and no actions… until Schumer steps down Democrats have learned nothing and have nothing new to offer. If you want us to believe you have changed show us don’t tell us.

This is the whole problem, the government isn’t working for people. The media isn’t even working for people, look how few people even rely on traditional media these days. The answer can’t be more government as usual more traditional media coverage. What we need is grand action. Fight the battle in the streets (not violence) force a prolonged general strike, organized mass boycotts, create a run on the banks, and become generally ungovernable.

This SHOULD have been done to stop the last CR. Democrats had a chance to present a united opposition with both the Senate and the House but threw it away. This is not the ONLY productive thing they could be doing, it’s the only legal thing they can do. Democrats are still playing by the rules and following decorum. Americans are angry many seem to be starting to realize they were sold a culture war when what they are actually fighting is a class war. Until the messaging becomes that of a class war Democrats will not be able to capitalize on the anger.

Performative garbage, they had a chance to actually prevent it and they folded.

You can opt out of the economy at any time, I haven’t bought anything besides locally grown food for several weeks. I’m in the process of divesting the money I have in stock into precious metals funds.

I think they would still be open to civil liability, for services that compete with TikTok or anybody who could claim harm came from companies refusal to follow the law.

I don’t even think we need to wait that long, anybody with a product that “competes” with TikTok would have standing to sue Google, Oracle, and Apple for violating the law and causing harm to their business. The possibility of government penalties in 4 years is just the icing on the cake.

Okay now China just needs to not sell and then in April we can sue Google and Apple out of existence right?

Maybe it’s the fact he is a convicted felon? The fact he was even allowed to run is a massive loss already regardless of the outcome. As far as I am concerned anything short of a massive landslide against him counts as a massive loss.
