Ruben Gallego is calling for usians to conduct a general strike "if" the Trump admin interferes with elections more than usual (e.g. by sending ice to polls). I say the Democrats will not do anything about the election interference because a general strike takes material support, robust communities, and organization. This vague call for a strike does nothing to support any of those things. The democrats have not, historically, supported these things with anything but lip service. So, when a general strike does not appear from thin air next winter, the democrats will just throw their hands up in defeat, blame the citizens for not striking hard enough, and send donation request emails.
