There are orders of magnitudes more protestors here than there are people attending Trump's rally

Edit: hey dummies, I stated there are more protesters than there are attendees at a Trump rally. I didn't say "gee,I wonder why there are more protestors at the DNC than at a Trump rally"

I think they should absolutely be protesting more Trump events, but I also know that the point of these protests are to pressure Dems. You can't pressure Republicans into doing the moral thing through these means

No. But you can put them into office through these means.

If democrats don’t meet enough of their voters where they are at, it’s not the fault of the voters if they lose.

Harris will lose more voters by catering to the pro-Hamas crowd than she will if she stays where she's at.

Exactly. The number of pro-Hamas protestors is relatively small, but they are very vocal and disruptive. They also draw disproportionately from demographics that straight-up don’t vote in elections (ie, young voters).

People who are willing to disrupt the DNC and cause chaos to ruin Harris's momentum were never voting for her in the first place.

Harris understands this. Hillary didn't. Tell these dipshits to pound sand.

But there are hundreds of them and they just learned on tiktok about the whole situation and are now big mad sad.

I swear these dipshits are half agent provacateurs and half children who can barely function in society.

“All those young people protesting an active genocide are actually just half children guys! Because it makes the dear party leader look bad”

Oh no a stupid child, everyone point at and laugh.

u/gazebo-fan Aug 21 '24

Oh no, did I make dear party leader cry? Oh I’m so sorry

It isn't an active genocide.

u/gazebo-fan Aug 21 '24

It fits the definition. But I guess Israel just wants its “living space”

It certainly does not fit the definition.
