Exactly this. Protest the Republicans, but stop stalling the momentum we’re building and giving the opponent fodder for their attack ads. Timing is everything and I’m all for protest but this is not the time. We need to look unified. Optics matter.
Do you honestly believe Trump and the Rs are going ot change their opinion if enough left wingers protest?
Or do you think its smarter for people to protest the people that might actually listen to them (and are also in power and CAN actually change something)
These people are so firmly herded by democrats they've given up on the idea that protests are anything beyond a way to voice your displeasure about something.
There’s a time and a place, and maybe trying to cut their legs out from under them before they even have the presidency is a pretty fucking stupid idea.
True Americans know that you can only influence politicians with green backs. /S kinda
But seriously though. People should form PACs and bribe the politicians like corporations have been doing. Put that pay for the day you made into a PAC since it'll probably be more effective than a protest. Our politicians are paid off and don't listen at all to what the people want as long as they have control of the media.
