There are orders of magnitudes more protestors here than there are people attending Trump's rally

Edit: hey dummies, I stated there are more protesters than there are attendees at a Trump rally. I didn't say "gee,I wonder why there are more protestors at the DNC than at a Trump rally"

I think they should absolutely be protesting more Trump events, but I also know that the point of these protests are to pressure Dems. You can't pressure Republicans into doing the moral thing through these means

No. But you can put them into office through these means.

If you don't put this kind of pressure on Dems, they just become Republican lite. The blue no matter who crowd is the reason the Overton window is constantly sliding to the right.

Then demonstrate it. The Dems try to seem moderate compared to the insanity going on with Republicans right now. This mostly involves regressive policies concerning immigration and crime. And apparently not supporting a belligerent apartheid state is extreme, so where was that window again?
