what kind of crack are you smoking
calling your local rep doesnt do shit
L M A O
imagine thinking you have viable political power
imagine BELIEVING WHAT GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVES WILL DO IS RIGHT
thats really funny
nobody asked for public opinion or consent if it was okay to launch a fucking missle strike and fry some brown person
it makes them go toward more moderate action. it was revealed via a hot mic that they went for drones instead of troops due to low public support for the idea.
no reason why they would "ask for public permission" if troops were deployed
no
NO it does not
you dont understand
the us can literally do whatever the fuck it wants and not tell the public
and again
Exactly. That or they just invent some justification for it
lets remember iran is very very small and surrounded by a LOT of american bases already
there is literally no point for them to do anything about this other than angrily shake their fist
only way i can see "war" is if israel cries hard enough
which actually may be a possibility
israel has its cock so far down america's asshole its not even funny anymore
I know there are explicit limits on what we can effect sans revolution and I've alluded to them in practically every post. merely saying that applying pressure is better than the norm, which is nothing. ryan dawson was talking about the difference it made in syria this morning and he tends to have some idea what he's talking about.
applying pressure
via phone calls
from civilians
to representative offices
okay
i really like this idealistic reality you live in
i wanna live in it too
most individual congress people are just guided by vague concensus. hundreds of calls rattles them.
okay buddy
okat
I've explicitly said numerous times that it doesn't make big changes, and that it was a couple-minutes effort I gave someone else goods for. you're just being a contentious dipshit.
I know what the system is
and i've said explicitly numerous times **it doesnt do jack shit and you are living in an alternate reality**
maybe if it makes you feel better bro
go for it
as for actual efficacy

even in the hypothetical that all representatives are in on the macro-schemes and completely against the public will, it still makes sense to communicate so the premise that they ignore their constituency can be established.
without fedposting I'm of the actual pragmatic opinion that certain people will need to be confronted irl in unofficial ways, but you can't even take radical action without demonstrating that they just won't budge otherwise.
You guys are wild.
