Aren't the libs fighting back now in LA

I'm just waiting for the moment that shots are fired by one side or the other, because once that line is crossed we can finally get real change.

if we are not prepared to run things differently, they won't. Destruction is not enough

Dont we all wish magic was real?

But it would really be amazing if the fighting WOULD stop. Even for a little while. We've all been at the breaking point for a long time (liberal, republican, and everyone in between). We are all paranoid about so many different things and suspicious of our own government.

While the meme is just a silly joke, magic would be nice.

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.

You said the same thing about voting for Biden in 2020.
