(9,263 posts)hopes of counter violence at police and their supporters. Its an easy trap to fall into and why it works so well and why we MUST AVOID it. The great thing about 2020? Its building off of 2018 and all the russian bot attacks to breed unrest with in democratic circle just will not work this time. That leaves violence in cities and voter suppression efforts

(13,186 posts)Without our vote assault on goodbye Trump D-Day, all is lost. The other squabbles, murders, self-defenses, and mayhem range from barely "goal reinforcing" to meaningless to self-sabotaging stupidity. They're just exciting news video and emotion grabbers. I.e., sound and fury.
Someone who votes and doesn't protest is a far, far better person than someone who protests and doesn't vote. Not voting is exactly the same as voting for Trump, the Republicans, and continued police brutality. Not voting is betrayal. People can protest all they want, and more power to them. But if they don't vote, I have no use for them. Their issues and interests deserve to be abandoned and left to the tender mercies of the Republicans they failed to vote against.
