Surely it can’t only be butthurt 4th generation descendants of sugar plantation owners in Miami and techbros in Sam Fran that caused this phenomenon, right?

      People tried but wtf can you do when you’re against something like that?

      It's bleak. The only answer is the old cliche of some form of mass workers party/org. These are the kinds of local issues that DSA seems to specialize in, and I do agree that they would have been further encouraged and energized to do so under a Bernie candidacy, very possibly to the point of changing the outcome. The optimist in me thinks that the left is just not there yet, but that despite our small size, America does have a growing potential for some form of empowered left organization to aggressively and openly tackle this type of bullshit.
