OK, lemme get this straight. This is a group project for 340M people with a deadline that is more than a year ahead. How do we think this will work out?

People will do nothing for another at least 10 months or so, then panic and do anything to at least have something to show for.
Most people won't participate at all and hope that the rest will hand in something that they can claim ownership of.
When the deadline arrives, they will try to copy the democracy of neighboring nations, even though it's far too late to change the outcome.

We will smugly decry that nothing can be done, and continue sharing memes about death of direct action
