I’m not trying to convince you that police are wonderful or that we don’t need economic and criminal justice reform.
I’m talking about practical, immediate matters though. Palestinians are dying right fucking now, and you really think punching a cop helps that? Or are you so self-centered that you can’t separate your issues in your head and understand what living under representative government actually means for us in a world with suburban soccer moms?
That’s because we don’t have a clear majority yet, even of the democratic party, much less the whole electorate. We need to change that, not think that beating people up will somehow magically address our problems.
Think past quotes and slogans to demographics and average American citizens and how they live, what they want, and what is important to them. They are who we need to convince more of before leadership can take the concerns more seriously.

We’ve been protesting for months. They’re not listening.
