If we are to succeed in peaceful revolution, we need to STAY in DC and all major cities until the job is done. It may be hard, but the potential outcome could be worth it.

Dude, are you living in a basement and only organizing in your head?

People like Cori Bush organized before they held office and still organize today.

She started out as a pastor and a BLM activist 10 years before she held office. I have no idea what else you want.

The only difference between MLK and her is that she temporarily held elected office. But she didn't sell out to corporations and got primaried by AIPAC.

Eh, close. I'm living on the other side of the world and only organizing in my head.

Nothing. I didn't deny the possibility of her as a leader; if she steps up for a leadership role and gets recognition then great, but she might just... not. What I'm trying to argue against here is the idea of waiting for this or that person to step up and lead the resistance to ultimate victory, not that a certain class of people shouldn't be allowed to take up leadership.

Ok, then you're arguing against something I never said.

But thanks for being polite.
