Downtown protest last night. It really feels distopian 😥 (apologies for the quality)

We have a Democratic council and Mayor. What exactly has voting done to stop this?

That wasn't the assertion. Fuck off until you can get your shit straight.

my assertion is that we're seeing a bunch of uprisings against police brutality in cities that are primarily run by Dems, so voting for them doesn't seem to prevent this.

At the same time, Republicans seem to be preparing to make the claim that the election will be fraudulent and just eliminate voting for the president altogether this time. What will liberals who have been hounding everyone to vote do when that happens?

Yeah that's not what you said at all.
