2024 U.S. Presidential General Election Thread

Which would be a more effective use of time: protesting a Republican in a safe district who has no incentive to change, or a Democrat (or swing district Republican) who at the very least has to worry about keeping their seat?

If someone in power is using it and their rhetoric to encourage people in their community and others to disenfranchise and possibly harm you and your community, do nothing if you can’t make them lose their job.

More effective to protest republicans because you’ll be depressing democrat turnout by only focusing on democrats which will lead to more republicans in congress. If more republicans are in congress then like you said there will be no hope in changing course.

If the media attention is brought to republican protests then democrats will be pulled to the left by proxy.

You can protest however you want.

You want to go to Bumfukk, Iowa and protest outside Rep. QAnon McBlue Lives Matter's office, knowing damn well all it will accomplish is getting a bunch of MSNBC watching liberals to go, "YASSS, Queen!" while they go to win their district by 30 points, go ahead.

And the perfect way to let them know our displeasure with their position is to just not vote for them.

We will leave the protests and the harassment at the mall for the real villains, like AOC

I actually think protesting the president and senators is better

But as we all know the Congress is completely bought and sold by the pro Israel lobby.

I think Israel dropping tactical nukes is the only red line that could change things

Can you point to the more effective protests against Republicans that you have been taking part in? Can you point to times when the Repubs were pulled left by the these tactics that you're championing?
And if you aren't actually doing the thing you're suggesting others do, why not?

Can you tell me when it was actually attempted in an organized manner? I can’t think of any and that’s exactly my point.

So what convinced you it was more effective?

Damn white privilege really has no limits ban DEI, burn books, gerrymander, disenfranchise and erase history as much as you want with no push back because you are GOP and displeasure is only reserved for dems

Because you’re still getting exposure to your message without depressing democrat turnout while pulling Dems to the left by proxy.

If your protests causes democrats to lose elections to republicans then you’re just shooting yourself in the foot

He made an excellent point, AquaCityBoy.

I know.

That's why he should go book his flight to Middle of Nowhere, Arkansas and protest outside Rep. January 6 McWoke Mind Virus's office.

I think protestors will be a regular occurrence

Why dont they try that pro Palestine stuff at the MAGA rallies? Trump is leading in the polls that you post so that means he has a good shot so why don't they show up there? I wonder why.....

Very easy for republican strategists to manipulate these protesters to disrupt democratic rallies

I see Colin Allreds already DOA. "Compromise is a winning issue". where do they find these terrible candidates?
