The Democratic senator Ruben Gallego has proposed that, should Donald Trump try to sabotage the midterm elections, Americans should respond with a general strike that would “grind the country to a halt”.

Earlier this week the US president called for Republicans to “take over” and “nationalise” voting in at least 15 unspecified locations, repeating his false claims that elections are plagued by widespread fraud.

On Thursday Gallego, a senator for Arizona and an Iraq war veteran, warned that Trump could seek to interfere with the November midterms that will determine control of Congress – and urged citizens to fight fire with fire.

    We should do it but kill people that join that we do not deem worthy of supporting our cause

    Nope, still not getting better.

      Yeah we actually should be killing the power-wielding politicians who did the genocide and then think they can go into public spaces and be a part of our proletarian actions like we fucking forgot, and go fuck yourself if you are willing to excuse genocide so that your life can maybe get a little better AmeriKKKa

        The left: “yes, you got that right, we should totally kill people that support our cause but in the wrong way.”

        Also the left: “why can’t we get people on board?”

            You do know that by taking such a stance on politics and being active about it, you’re pretty much a politician yourself?

            I mean, where do you draw the line? After you burned Bernie and aoc on the stake, each for being too much of a politician, who’s next? Anybody who’s willing to take political responsibility in any way? Anybody who ever had a public office? You’d burn the middle management of NASA next? Or do you need to have been voted for, do you’ll just kill anybody who ever participated in some stupid school board?

            But yeah, whatever, you’re obviously unhinged and insane, so go ahead and keep agitating against people you consider not left enough. You know that there’s someone like you left of you doing the same thing about you, right?

              I’m not a politician, and in that circumstance I wouldn’t be a bourgeois politician. My goal is to abolish politics.

              I mean, where do you draw the line? After you burned Bernie and aoc on the stake, each for being too much of a politician, who’s next?

              Everybody responsible for the genocide

              Anybody who’s willing to take political responsibility in any way? Anybody who ever had a public office? You’d burn the middle management of NASA next? Or do you need to have been voted for, do you’ll just kill anybody who ever participated in some stupid school board?

              No lol to the rest of those

              whatever, you’re obviously unhinged and insane

              True and based. It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

              You know that there’s someone like you left of you doing the same thing about you, right?

              Good I hope so, then at least I’d die happy knowing that the masses rose up.

      Stop using quotes when it’s not a quote. I know people think it’s cute but you are coming off as being pretty unhinged here.

          As unhinged as letting the AmeriKKKa capitalists keep genociding Palestinians, keep diddling kids, and keep destroying our species and our planet? Because that’s way the fuck worse than lighting the people who are doing and enabling all the previous things on fire.

            Why don’t you get into politics to create laws against this so you can take those that are responsible to court and get them into prison then? That would seem a bit less unhinged than calling for a mob to burn people alive.

              Because we already have laws against all this stuff, but it only applies to the working class, because it’s a bourgeois government working to preserve bourgeois interests. A new state would simply reproduce the conditions of capitalism.

              That would seem a bit less unhinged than calling for a mob to burn people alive.

              Well okay if you would like to brainstorm a more humane way to deal with these monsters then please go out and do that and prove me wrong. Frankly, I’m more interested in stopping them than in the “fire” part.
