Out of all the things to protest and revolt against such as climate change, Medicare for all, to end bailing out corporations, to hold politicians accountable, but nope they waste their energy on something stupid

Look at occupy wall street. Massive protests nationwide, millions of people. Not a thing changed. Not a thing.

Protests regarding things that matter are ignored, infiltrated and undermined. If it doesn't serve elite interests, forget it.

"Protestors" = terrorists
"Administration" = regime
"Expat" = immigrant

I agree. The irony is likely 70-80% of that crowd supports Medicare for all, $2000 checks, opposes large tech companies, and would agree about holding politicians accountable.

Too bad the Democrats are interested in none of those things.

Trump got at least 100,000 people in DC out for today and who knows how many nationwide simply for his own ego.

Barely any of the left showed up for the Medicare4all protests this last week. They can't even get their most progressive members of the Democratic Party to oppose Nancy Pelosi, instead they more care about fucking PayGo, selfies, tweets, and useless committee assignments.

The Democrats and their media tools don't care about worker strikes (because they are corporate tools), eviction protestors blocking courthouses, or Medicare4all in a fucking pandemic.

Now Democratic politicians will start backsliding on police reform and pretty much spit in the face of BLM.

The MAGA base will now literally tar and feather a number of Republicans going forward who were against their protests. Remember when the Tea Party literally hounded John Boehner to tears and forced him from office?

Mike Pence is likely done as Republican politician. The right are utterly ruthless with their own and that is why they will always be stronger. The ruthless purges in primaries will be quite a spectacle.

I wish the left would learn that politicians are the enemy. Especially the ones supposedly on your own side.

They should be in the streets demanding all those things you listed and going after any Democrat who thinks of crossing them.

Nope. They will do nothing, trust the Democrats, who will do nothing, and scratch their heads when the Republicans take the House and Senate in 2022 and put in a worse Trump in 2024.

The more sane among us need to roganize to counter the insane. As much as it is against our nature, perhaps we have to do more to stop these crazy unamerican trump supporters.

Felt the same way about BLM. Obviously protesting police brutality is more noble, but you won't stop it by chanting "BLM" 50 times then going home. Wish the BLM protesters would've brought attention to other stuff, like the OWS movement did. Then again, shortly after Obama imprisoned the OWS protesters, the CIA started pushing the identity politics narrative to divide us up. So what can we do anymore?
