        We manage to tolerate our far-from-perfect elite class as they steal our wealth and destroy our futures. Why hold protestors to a different standard?

      I expect morons to stay home whining that Democrats weren’t perfect enough and then complain voting doesn’t matter when they suffer under Republicans.

        There certainly will be morons that stay at home and whine but if you look beyond that you’ll see that we had several protests with record breaking turnouts last year. Resistance is growing and there are tens of millions of Americans who aren’t staying home.

          Honestly, I can hope, but tens of millions of people in the streets doesn’t engender much hope when 90 million stayed home last November and helped put us here.

          A ton of the the people who constantly harp on voting not being enough tend to be the same people who don’t show up on voting day imo.
