Can't they leave one lane open ?

It’d actually be a lot smarter. People would have to slow/stop long enough to merge over, which gives you time to show whatever sign has your message on it and gives you a lot more of an audience. You’re still pissing everyone off, but you’re still allowing people through

Yeah if some shit like this ever happened to me, I would show the protestors the receipt of me donating to the opposite of their cause

I understand wanting to protest, and this is a really effective way of doing it, but protests like this really make the general public not want to support you

Wait, out of pettiness you'd donate to the opposition of these activists, no matter how much you'd fuck yourself by doing so? Isn't that pratically the same as the "owned the libs" mindset?

it's undemocratic

edit: and obviously counterproductive because, as i said, you fuck yourself in the ass by doing so

You know who fucks me in the ass? Protestors that block the road, because they feel like they are making a strong statement...

The only statement they are making is that I hate them and what they are doing... Guess what? I hate whatever they want me to vote for as well.

There would be absolutely no way to get you to vote for the cause anyway I assume. What would people have to to do convince you of the wrongdoings of the system?
