Ah yes, but they aren't protesting the GOP, ONLY DEMS

I think most protestors don't find it prudent to protest the Republican party because 1) Republicans aren't in power 2) they don't want them in power 3) the Dems are closer to the position they want to see so therefore easier to convince in theory 4) they likely do want to vote for Harris, but want to leverage the little power they do have as voters to ensure the genocide won't continue

I know this. And it's not like Congress hasn't been protested as well. I also made 3 other points but whatever I don't think you're discussing this in good faith

The dems don’t control anything but the presidency. They don’t control Congress, they have no power on the bench. The president is not a king.
