Path to the right is not mutually exclusive from the left.

General strike in the US seems like less of an impossibility year by year

Just restating some of the greatest hits:

1. Universal healthcare

2. Universal education through university level or trade school

3. At least a month pto annually

4. Parental leave for births

5. Guaranteed sick leave

6. 32hr new full time threshold before overtime

7. Only public, equal funds for elections, no PACs/dark money/donations, no lobbyist bribes

8. Any elected official over a certain level cannot engage in trading of individual stocks or own businesses, dump it all in an index fund or hand off management to someone else they cannot contact without a mediator and recording, immediate expulsion & no longer able to hold office when found in violation

9. No billionaires/oligarchs, anyone with earnings and assets over a billion should be taxed at 100% and assets redistributed

Edit: May 1st 2028 looks like a good target thanks to the UAW https://www.thenation.com/article/activism/general-strike-2028-unions-labor-movement/
