Nonsense. The Democrat party is the party of the common working man. Hell, their top guy right now is even named Joe!
Just a great group of folks looking out for the little guy.

Guys such as union pipeline workers. Newly unemployed....
The best answer I have is civil disobedience.
People shutting down stuff peacefully and legally, at least brings attention.

Possibly....but in what way? Riots and protests will either be co-opted or shut down with force. Any legitimate protests will be downplayed or slandered by the media machine and the average person will turn further away from any kind of action.

It brings only the kind of attention the media wants it to bring as demonstrated pretty clearly this year with the discrepancies in the
BLM/antifa, Capitol riot, most recent antifa protests
Reporting over the last year. For the majority, the media's description of those events are those events. This is what any kind of public demonstration trying to bring meaningful change is facing.
Because you gave your thoughts on this though, i'll give mine.
I don't think you can cut off the money and I don't think you can fix the system. I think the system needs to be totally rebuilt from the outside by any and everyone that wants to. Empower as many people as possible to exist as independently of the whole corrupt system as possible so it collapses on its own.
It was things like blacks going in and using a white bathroom or sitting at the front of the bus.
I don't know how you update that for today. But I think your thoughts are valid and some seem to have a place in the updated playbook
Well, the first thing I think anyone could do that could help themselves is to constantly educate themselves and become skilled in things that can independently earn you money or a living.
