    Not only do they demand our votes, they demand we be happy about it. You are not permitted to complain if you support Harris.

      Vote for us or live with the consequences of repubs getting power.

      As for the idea that protesting helps the orange shitbag, no it doesn’t. There are no undecided voters who will even care about protesting to stop a genocide. It’s an issue that doesn’t matter to them.

        Vote for us or we’ll let the other guy kill you.

        Yeah all the protesters do is keep the issue in the news so people don’t forget. No one is changing their votes at this point unless Harris actually changes her policies.

      You can complain, but the convention is not the time and place for it. Trying to disrupt the convention to get headlines only helps Trump.

      Projecting drama because the majority of Americans including Democrats may not agree with you is not productive.

        The convention is the best time to do it! That’s when cameras are on and you can get your message out and be sure the Party sees it. If protest is productive at all it’s when eyes are on it. Disruptions are the point.

          And there it is, you have no interest in seeing Trump defeated. You don’t seem to have any interest in dialogue either. It’s the attention for a cause that has little to do with winning a national election that you want. Your movement now wants to hold the Democratic convention hostage so you can get your message out.

          For the sake of winning the election and not seeing Trump as president, I hope fail publicly and miserably at getting it.

            And you have no interest in ending genocide. It’s an irrelevant distraction to you, you don’t want a dialogue about ending arms sales to a genocidal apartheid regime. You just want everyone to shut up and vote to stop Trump. You do not care about anything else.
