I support this message. Hope she doesn’t get deported.
She will 100% but maybe that what need to be so a real revolution start because the peaceful protest don't do shit to stop fascist
Too bad people couldn't be bothered to vote last year.
But the Democrats didn't offer them a pony
At this point, I assume anyone still harping on this is a conservative provocative looking to stir up division.
The truth is it's possible for more than one group to be at fault. Those who stayed home have a ton of blame, the centrist dipshits at the DNC have a ton of blame, and the Republicans themselves have the most blame of all.
Quit trying to sew division. We need unity now, not to rehash old grievances.
The Democrats are constantly cutting their own hamstrings by courting the conservatives base rather than their own base. That’s why they always lose. Too many Chuck Schumers, not enough AOCs. The mainstream dems can’t stop suckling the corporate teet long enough to notice they’re getting played.
Or eggs.
“Taking a stand against genocide” = pony. Got it.
You chose the genocide harder option. How did that help anyone?
I mean, neither side took a stand against genocide, so any would-be progressive who sought to "punish" the Democrats by not voting for them over this gets as much sympathy from me as all the regressive dipshits whose faces keep getting eaten by leopards. Every vote that wasn't cast for the "genocidal" Democrats was a vote cast for the genocidal and also fascist white nationalist party.
How's it feel knowing you've got a great view of 'Murrica openly trying to emulate 1930s Germany from the saddle of your moral high horse?
Straw man. I voted for Harris.

How does it feel knowing you facilitated fascism by refusing to hold establishment democrats’ feet to the fire so they would adopt a platform for people instead of billionaires?
Well, now we have genocide in the US, so how did taking that stand work out?
Lol, where LMAO? Stop cheapening the meaning of words
But it's okay. I'm sure the people who couldn't be bothered to pick up a ballot will be happy to pick up a rifle.
We have no idea what a peaceful protest of significant size can do. We've never seen one.
We've seen peaceful protests, sure. And some not-so-peaceful ones. But non-violence is really difficult to manage and wield.
Peaceful Protests have their place. But it's laughable that you really think that a protest with no threat of violence means anything at all to a fascist government
They easy I see it, the only point of peaceful protests it to rally opponents of the regime.
Are protests really about "doing" things though?
A rabble or riot might storm a location like on Jan 6, but is that going to topple a government? Maybe in the middle ages where you could depose a king but since then I don't think so.
Civil Unrest, if maintained over weeks and months might achieve something. If the population is ungovernable I imagine that might motivate republicans to impeach but things would have to get real bad.
Other than that a protest is really just a public statement of duress. It's an appeal to all the people who usually dont pay any attention to politics et cetera.
AOC should team up with Blue State governors to campaign solely in their states, with their protection. Trump WILL try to dispose of her, it is only a matter of time. Having a state's National Guard to protect her from Dogey goons will be key to allowing AOC to continue working against the regime.
Oh if AOC is touched by that fucking scumbag will be the moment people riot. If not only the left but potentially some of the right who are fans of her as well, or at least fans of her energy (some have said they dont agree on policy but like how she really stands for working class families). I feel like as much as we cant really touch Trump (he would die a martyr for hard right nationalism) if the other side touches AOC the same thing happens but for the cause on the right side of history.
General rioting just hurts us... Gotta make sure to do it right at his doorstep.
We can touch trump. He dies, the infighting kills them
