Why Protest? #3: Because Cowardly Politicians Bend to Strength

,

Because cowardly politicians bend to strength, we must show we are strong. Perception of public opinion matters to politicians. Some politicians see following public opinion as their job. Others are fear-driven and will always take the side of the strongest person or force, because cowards feel small inside and seek protection above principle. To apply this insight, we should direct our work at demonstrating that we are the strong ones. And we show we are strong just by showing them who we are: a massive wave of people holding bravery and compassion and creativity and joy and rock-hard resolve. We just have to be the wave.

Push, my friend. Push.

    Heck yes! We are a massive wave! The oligarchs have concentrated power, but we have more people on our side.

    It’s time to push! Push! PUSH BACK!
