    i didn't say they couldn't exercise their rights, they can all they want, but it's utterly pointless. and it's now what 5 straight days of protesting? ok we get it, you don't like the President-elect. your chance to not have that happen has passed. it's not going to change the outcome so if you are that against him put your efforts into making positive change in other ways.

    What does it say about our economy when thousands in cities across the country protest for $12 an hour?

    The major issue I see with these protests is that it doesn't seem they have a reasonable goal or activism outcome. He's going to remain the president elect no matter what.

    Now, if they're concerned about the human rights piece of his campaign propaganda coming to fruition, by all means make sure he and the rest of the country know that it's an important issue that shouldn't be tossed aside. Protesting is important in that regard, but again, rioting has no place anywhere. Keep it clean people.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    You're lumping together rioters with the protesters. They're different groups with different agendas, but the rioters are playing on the same field.

    Sure, because it's logical to assume that people are too lazy to vote but motivated enough to march in a protest.

    A protest isn't valid until it meets the criteria set by white people.

    You forgot a question mark at the end of your sentence.
    What criteria?

    As are these "protesters" that are acting like spoiled brats that didn't get a trophy. They must just be exercising their white privilege by rioting several days straight and not having to go to work or school the next morning. Productive members of society obviously.

    Stereotyping groups of protestors is never a good idea. Maybe they can't afford college our maybe they can't find a job. Believe it or not those people do live in America.

    You sound like you need a trophy yourself!
    I only heard about 1 small riot 1 night in Portland. Is there something I'm missing or are you twisting facts to support your bias?

    You're right, I shouldn't lump all of them into the same categories. There is probably a good mix of diverse unproductive individuals in that group. These "protests" in general are pretty unproductive in that productive people disregard them as a bunch of crybabies. Funny how looting and rioting have become a staple of "progressive protests".
  • rgambsrgambs Posts: 13,576
    Can someone summarize all these riots the alt-righties keep talking about? Google is only showing me the one in Portland and I don't have enough data to dig around.
    Surely the alt-right wouldn't exaggerate or make things up.
