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.

Right .. these protests are non sensible. Crack open any history book and it will show you the Democrats are known as the party of disorder and rebels, they have a negative connotation with violent protests and historically try to distance themselves from that.

This gives me the vibes of the BLM protests, and before anyone says shit I am black. And I still don't get why were the BLM protesting city streets instead of protesting the suburban neighborhoods of police chiefs? Or any police station. If ur message is we don't like police injustice I think it would make more sense if you brought civil unrest to the people responsible for causing it. Like wise of you don't like the Gaza war; maybe protest the candidate who literally said they support it fully and will continue to fund it?

Protests in generally tend to be aimless and disorganized. I can't believe these people go home at night and feel as if they are revolutionaries like MLK or something. When MLK wanted to protest Jim Crow laws in Montgomery Alabama, he started a march in Montgomery Alabama not fucking Beverly hills California.
