They certainly accomplish nothing now apart from compelling social media content and making it easier for ICE to nab targets. That’s why I mentioned the Women’s March specifically (I realize now that was another thread, but I think it’s a good example.), because everyone and their mother spent a week talking about the massive turnout, and then abortion was criminalized. You protested for George Floyd, which only resulted in property damage and electing a president who mocked your movement to your faces on national television before his brain melted.
Don’t get me wrong. I want it to work. I really do, but protest doesn’t matter when you don’t care about the quality of the people you’re electing to rule, and 99% of voters don’t. (As evidenced by our presidential race featuring two octogenarians with publicly-known cognitive deficiencies.)
Back in the 60’s perhaps.

Desperate. Every one of your comments is defeatist and counterproductive.
