I need to say this. If you are capable of going to a large protest in a major city you are privileged. Please exercise that. I would love to go to the ATL protest, but it is impossible unless I pay exorbitant parking fees (which I can't).

We could have just voted for Harris last year and things would be pretty good right now.

Yes because she was going to defund ICE right? RIGHT?

That’s not the gotcha you think it is.

She might not have been perfect but she’d be a lot better than what we have.

a lot better

Not "a lot" just enough so that useful fools can normalize the bad.

The exact same circumstances that triggered the current LA protests, to use a dated phrase, of ICE putting kids in cages would still been occuring. Sure ICE would probably still be operating primarily in secret as opposed to the current smash and grab and the national guard probably wouldn't have been called in (debatable if that's just because there wouldnt have been the same level of resistance.)

I understand the legal, political and messaging differences there, but I'm not seeing any material differences between the two scenarios.
