It's easy to think protests don't matter.
They do. Just not directly.
8 million people in the streets aren't going to make literal traitors admit they were wrong and willingly leave their positions.
But 8 million people in the streets sends a signal to everyone else that the opinions they already hold about this treasonous government are valid and that they are not alone.
It's a snowball effect. It'll get bigger, if we're persistent. Gotta keep the momentum building.
Oh yea? And then everything STILL votes between 2 asshole parties that both need to be dethroned and the cycle resumes.
Baby steps
Baby step IS voting in a neutral party, even without an agenda, and letting things settle down a bit.
Oh look, a brand new account using the “both sides” rhetoric. Fuck off with that bullshit. Have such an overwhelming blue wave that the current Republican Party has no chance of ever winning again, then it makes it much easier for the progressives within the Democrat party to differentiate themselves from the corpo-Dems.
Vote for all the progressives you want in the primaries, but come the general, sitting out or throwing away your vote is voting for a Republican.
Damn, I typed up a couple paragraphs explaining why only a child can't understand an enforced two party system, and why an American third party is only ever a spoiler.
TL:YNWW
Control primaries, control a party. Trump's current VP alternated calling DT America's Hitler and America's Heroin. He then fell in line because everyone who didn't got primaried by a Trumptard.
If you want change, win primaries.
