Protesters said they want to hold the party currently in power accountable for their response to the war in Gaza.

    Because Democrats actually give a shit. Trump doesn’t give a shit and wouldn’t respond to the protesters since they’re not bringing a pile of money… Democrats actually care so the protests are larger because they actually might accomplish something.

    Because it’s financially supported by foreign actors?

        I hope they realize that fighting the police in Chicago really accomplishes nothing but harm for the Palestinian people. There is no chance it rallies more support than it costs among working voters.

        Getting attacked for being peaceful is good. Attacking is bad.

            That is not a particularly common sentiment past a certain age, and past that age is where the majority of voters are. While they do do a lot of bullshit and have been heavily infiltrated by right-wing extremism, particularly with regards to training, there’s a nuance where that does not universally represent all the disparate offices of the country, which really run the whole gamut.

            There’s this thing called selection bias, where the news does not generally report positive things, but only negative. Greater experience forces you to come to terms with this more.

              Again. ACAB. The entire system is racist and broken.

                That’s an opinion a person can hold, sure.

                But I’m talking about helping the Palestinian people, and whether fighting cops helps that, hurts it, or is neutral.

                It’s about convincing voters, not punching what you think are bad guys in the face. The world is not a comic book, it’s a messy place that adults have to have jobs in or they die.

                  The police are there to protect the bourgeoisie. Don’t even get me started on the prison industrial complex.

    Wow, so they’re just absolutely ignorant as well.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
