    Because Democrats actually give a shit. Trump doesn’t give a shit and wouldn’t respond to the protesters since they’re not bringing a pile of money… Democrats actually care so the protests are larger because they actually might accomplish something.

        I hope they realize that fighting the police in Chicago really accomplishes nothing but harm for the Palestinian people. There is no chance it rallies more support than it costs among working voters.

        Getting attacked for being peaceful is good. Attacking is bad.

            That is not a particularly common sentiment past a certain age, and past that age is where the majority of voters are. While they do do a lot of bullshit and have been heavily infiltrated by right-wing extremism, particularly with regards to training, there’s a nuance where that does not universally represent all the disparate offices of the country, which really run the whole gamut.

            There’s this thing called selection bias, where the news does not generally report positive things, but only negative. Greater experience forces you to come to terms with this more.

                That’s an opinion a person can hold, sure.

                But I’m talking about helping the Palestinian people, and whether fighting cops helps that, hurts it, or is neutral.

                It’s about convincing voters, not punching what you think are bad guys in the face. The world is not a comic book, it’s a messy place that adults have to have jobs in or they die.

                  The police are there to protect the bourgeoisie. Don’t even get me started on the prison industrial complex.

    Wow, so they’re just absolutely ignorant as well.
