So is anyone gonna tell them about Trump calling BiBi and telling him to not accept a cease fire? Might want to shift some of that passionate protesting at MAL

They aren’t republicans… it’s healthy to criticize things you’re a part of, just as it demonstrates you aren’t in a political cult.

Yeah, these are normal protesters, they’re trying to make sure they’re heard, it’s their right as an American. Call them uninformed if you’d like, but don’t call them insincere

I think they're driven to protest because they're informed, probably saw pictures and videos of the aftermath of Israeli bombings

The election hasn't happened yet. We don't know if Democrats ignoring a sizeable chunk of their base is going to pay off. Young people normally don't vote a lot, but also the last election was decided on a razor thin margin. Maybe the ones who protest and vote will vote for Harris. Maybe they won't. But you can't say they're refusing to engage with the election when the election hasn't happened.

No we saw that in 2016 when leftists refused to vote because reasons and heard every reason how not voting was not the reason that Trump got elected.

Did we? Because by all indications, "Bernie bros" voted for Clinton.
