I am more into boycotts.......Protesting gets attention to the cause......No need to march on anything.....can set up a fucking sit in at the park. A "We are not buying shit today" Day..........
Its all risk vs reward type scenarios. I would stick with little to no risk if it results in low reward. Which is what we currently are doing. I can not figure out something we Americans can do that will give a high reward without a even greater risk. I do not want to see fellow pedes hurt, prisoned or dead. I believe we are not at the point in which we need to enter high risk scenarios. There is a plan in place at which we are not fully privy to be apart of. We get 20-40%. If Potato turns the full on dictator switch to the ON position, then we will be at the point to enter the high risk scenarios.
We can mould the left to what we want man. Just like us they are being super reactionary. If we start saying openly and loudly on ALL platforms we are openly banning....."Walmart" or "Amazon" The left is gonna have to go in full support of the top 1-2%. Use their tactics against them man. This is all I am saying....if we Organized we could shape the pay the game is being played also. We get amped about making literally bullshit trend on twitter...like its a victory.....While we could actually put a massive dent in deep state commerce....by simply not using their products, or stores. But alas.....it's too inconvenient to actually be pro active......It's hard to pull your cash out and use that instead of a card that tracks you. I get it. It's hard to not stay on the cell phones. It's not an easy feat....neiher was the Tea Party in Boston....when they did the same thing....a bit more violently I should say. "The buck stops here" is a powerful message....Because if we give them no bucks....if we do not support them....then they have to change their plans also. Their plans rely on us being asleep sheep....on both sides.
Even if every person who voted for Trump stopped using Amazon and Walmart ( I assume some already have) we still wouldn't put a large enough dent in their books. Yeah, they would loose a few percent, but not enough to cause them to change anything.
The average person spends the following per year:
Walmart - $3400
Amazon - $1400
Walmart gets 11billion visitors per year (world wide)
Amazon has 118million prime members (world wide) + non prime visitors (couldn't find any numbers for them).
80 million people is a lot of people to get to stop buying from 2 companies. Numbers like that will take a long time. Walmart has killed so many small shops that it is the only place to get food in some areas.

*Boycotts = low risk, low reward
*Protests = high risk, low reward
*Meme's = no risk, low reward
*Sit In's = med risk, low reward
*Doing nothing = no risk, no reward
*March to DC = high risk, low reward
