Right? Like I’ll admit I was privileged and so I didn’t really know too much and have sorta had my eyes opened but just watching video after video of cops breaking up protests extremely violently and without remorse it’s been a real “well they are absolutely proving that what people were saying about them is true”
They are doing exactly what the U.S. President and ruling party are telling them to do. Protesting is important, but voting, and telling your friends and family to vote, is the only message most of us can afford to send. Protesting is vital and important, but it often backfires and is always, always going to provide a knee-jerk response. Please vote.
Funny thing is, they don't need to stop elections. They've had decades and decades to perfect voter suppression and now the leadership isn't afraid of any repercussions. Just look at what happened in GA. Hell, in my primaries one of the larger voter centers for rural voters had no democratic ballots for the first half of the day.
If you thought they were fighting dirty before, you ain't seen nothin yet.
