    devastating to your credibility

    The former, got it.

    Now, if you earnestly believe Brandon Johnson has the ability to organize collective action with hotel owners to shelter the homeless, like we saw him do,

    Why are you implying he cannot talk with REGISTERED union leaders to get a strike going in his city?

    What demands can BJ actually commit to impede the fascist militia headed his way?

    Can he afford to strike with only the available food, water, and housing left?

    He’s literally two cities away from where the fascists are murdering his constituents.

    Is he prepared to strike strike, or theatrics?

      I’m not, and never have. I have said he, as a servant of the public trust, is prevented from doing so by the NRLA/NLRB and associated rulings. But there’s nothing more than that preventing him from skirting those regulations, like he is here, besides the threat of legal retaliation from the administration.

        This is where we differ in praxis:
        The fascists over the next door will have never cared about rulings to commit the crimes they continue to be allowed to do on his city to actually do something against an elected convicted pedophile king.

        Until his personal family isn’t hanging off a tree like a Klan cleansing ritual, Brandon Johnson will not be able to see what he really needs to stake more than a proven encouraging tactic fascists have exceeded at exploiting. Strikes save no lives, killing fascists does.

          Yo the comment about lynchings did not need to be brought in here. That’s low to try to win an argument involving a black man fighting for his city just because you don’t think he’s killing enough fascists…

            I’m afraid the lynchings never stopped…
            How many more decades do you need for an ICE facility to continue operating over next door to comprehend BJ grew up witnessing the lynchings and hasn’t been able to cease them, following rules?

              I know they haven’t stopped, that’s why I would never use them as a ploy to win an internet argument. It’s low and sick. You lost whatever credibility you might have had with that, talking about a man’s family being lynched as a consequence of not doing things your way…

                    I did make the point that BJ is a lyncher apologists, by letting ICE trample his city’s sovereignty, that you denounced as an “argument.”

                    Unless you had an actual stake to pronounce, let Chicagoans know what else to argue against fascists over next door….
