Direct action like...? There's a big difference between (rightly) saying we need something other than electoralism and identifying what that something is. Are we going to occupy post offices from now until Election Day? Are we going to call on the National Guard to do that? Is a country that easily fell in line behind Biden going to sign up if they start planning an armed insurrection?
