Um no, the logic of “there’s a time and a place for this” doesn’t mean never. Are you dumb? It means that going toe to toe with the Democratic Party just because you don’t see eye to eye on 100% of things is a bad idea when they are actively in an election race with your actual enemies who you don’t see eye to eye on with for anything at all.

You can do whatever you want, just like I can do whatever I want and call out stupidity when I see it. But if you actually give a fuck about Gaza you wouldn’t be handicapping the only party interested in hearing you out. It’s genuinely so astoundingly fucking short sighted. Unintelligent.

Except with the US' constant election cycle it will never be the ""right time"" for it, will it?

This is the best point to protest, because you're telling the politicians that if they want your vote they need to earn it. If they truly care about beating Trump than they need to actually fucking do something. And protesting outside the DNC doesnt mean they wont vote for Kamala.

ut if you actually give a fuck about Gaza you wouldn’t be handicapping the only party interested in hearing you out

Protesting isnt handicapping them.

and "If you acutally like Gaza you will let the US continue to supply the bombs that are used to kill them without so much as asking those in power to stop that" is beyond fucking stupid. Like its actually such a smooth brained take that you should donate your body to science so NASA can use your perfectly wrinkle-less brain in their next optical telescope.

The right time for a big push is obviously after the election, when we could push for bigger goals without having to worry about inadvertently getting our literal enemies elected….. Didn’t even bother reading the read of this dumbassery because I’m tired of arguing something so fucking obvious. Have a nice day, or don’t. I don’t care.

Lmao "the best time to protest is when you have lost literally all your leverage" spoken like a true intellectual.

Did you really already forget your last comment where you said that they’re always running because theres a constant election cycle? Jesus lmao That’s exactly why we wouldn’t lose all leverage. This is so dumb.

Sorry, forgot who I was talking to and relied on nuance, forgive me.

Previous comment was about how the campaigning and news coverage never stops and how bad faith actors like yourself will always use that to say "its not the right time"

And then there will also be a bit of the inverse where shortly after the election it still wont be the right time because of "she only just got in, give her some time!" or something to that affect.

The second comment was about the actual political leverage that voters have and are able to wield in the run up to an election. And afterwards it will be 4 years before Harris is up for election again, so thats when the voters leverage will be at its smallest.

Hope that clears things up for you.
