I think we need a bigger discussion for everybody to get behind, obviously .. It always comes down to voting time, issues get splintered , and so does our group agenda ...
... we need some serious political and numerical analysis (independent) beforehand, so we not scrambling at the last minute (if that's even possible) ...
Collective action is the only way we are going to make real gains in a place that does everything to keep us on the fence, destabilize, circumvent laws, etc (I'm thinking about the 13th, slavery illegal except for a crime ... all those innocents who were enslaved because of technicalities) ...
If you were to present a list of demands to either party, what would it include? ...

Whatever is done, we also need something in place to get in front of the Pavlov experiment ..
