    So if the democrats violently attacked them they wouldn’t protest?

    Interesting, nuanced even.

    Willing to put the lives of marginalized people in danger with a trump presidency but if their physical well being is threated, genocide away.

    So, here’s the real reason they don’t show to trump rallies. They are under the impression they can influence the Harris campaign into supporting policy that will strong arm Isreal into ending the Palestinian genocide. Is it far fetched? Possibly, but they are desperate.

    Unfortunately, we are all pretty desperate right now. So, the whole weighing human suffering thing is kind of… deaf ears and all that…

      If Harris and Biden were explicitly telling their supporters to attack protesters, I know I would stop protesting at their events. I dunno about these particular protesters, but I would imagine that sort of hateful rhetoric would certainly have a cooling effect on any hypothetical protests in such a scenario.

          I personally have to be extremely cautious when protesting. I have a record, and I’m certain that it would be used against me. DUI is the worst thing, but there’s also some weed distribution charges as well. I’m sure they would use that to trump up resisting arrest, or assaulting an officer, if I attended any of the protests where they intend to get arrested.

            Hey. I’m not judging you at all. All this shits fucked. Even if trump was dead tomorrow, it’s going to stay fucked. You do whats right for you.

            We are so close to this election end I and I’m so interested to see where the discussion goes. I know it’s not going to be good but I can hope.

            What I mean by this is this election we had biden step down. For someone who’s been rallying against biden for 4 years that’s a big deal to me. Is it a fluke? Maybe. What if it wasn’t, tho? What can progressives do with that?

            If Kamala wins can we make her primary in 4 years? I know. A black women getting (almost) unfair treatment compared to all other presidents but whys it gotta be a bad thing? Why should we just let the president toil away?

            If trump wins 2024 best case; revolution. Worse case; north korea comes to the US.

            If Kamala wins best case; we challenge her and she accepts the challenge becoming the most successful president of the last 100 years. Worse case: we fend off trump 4 more years.

      Possibly, but they are desperate.

      im not sure if its desperation, i think it’s that they’re all just single issue voters, they have literally nothing else in life that they care about.

      I feel like if they were desperate they would probably run disinfo farms or like, fight in the conflict. But what do i know.
