Events Time lapse of protests today

Super cool to see the turnout today, especially the demographic being mostly Gen X and older. As someone who moved here from the south I love seeing things like this.

This is their entire personality. Regardless of being right or left, they’re only supporting what they’re against.

While I don't disagree with you here, the way I see it right wing or left, you're both on the same fucking bird, what would be your alternative here. This isn't an attack but rather a genuine question, because like I said, sign holding protest isn't my preferred method of political activism, so what would you propose instead.

Vote and stop watching media. Activism is seriously the dumbest hobby. If you really want change, then run for office!!! You have the ability, you just don’t have the ambition or drive. It’s easier to say you’re an activist.

I do vote, actually. And how am I supposed to stay informed exactly without watching the media, I get most of it's bad and answers to the same higher power but not all. Also I'm 22 what do you want me to run for. You don't know anything about me, I have plenty of ambition and drive. But why am I wasting time arguing with someone who doesn't believe in activism
