    I wonder how many people at that protest didn’t vote in the last election. These protests are useless. Hold rallies for voter registration. Educate people about the impact of local government. Do anything but dress in a frog costume.

      Some of these people may well also have voted for Trump and regret it.

      Do anything but dress in a frog costume.

      That’s only to discredit the accusation that Portland is a lawless city when ICE and national guards were sent. If they are sent to No Kings protest because of claim that protestors are violent, then why not dress up as Kermit?

      Why would people who think voting is useless would go to a protest that you said is useless?

      The Boston rally on Oct 18th says they’ll have a bunch of local organizations with tables, so I think they are / one can take a “both” approach.

      Oh yeah, that will teach them. I am sure the other side of the broken two party system will totally fix things. This time, for sure.

      Just stop pretending the us is a democracy, do something about your broken nation or just collapse already. This is just sad at this point.
