    Ed has his microphone, Bruce has his, Trump has social media, etc.

    None of them are having conversations or debates with their audiences. They are all one-sided. Sure the crowd could applaud or boo, but it's talking/preaching to their fans 

    Maybe it could be a reason why the band prefers the same people up front (please see "Same folks up front" thread). I couldn't imagine if you had some maga up front at some shows. 🤪
    Dropkicks get it.

    Shame he didn't use his platform for the women that have been raped and murdered by those illegally here.
    Would have been so fkn special..
    Would have lived to hear him use his platform for the women who have been raped and murdered by THOSE HERE LEGALLY AND NOT IMMIGRANTS AT ALL!! 
    Way more of those cases than the ones you're talking about

    Thank you.

    Yes!  I'll second that "thank you".
    Excellent point, gotthebottle.

    Statistics and research are abundantly clear. Sexual violence is overwhelmingly committed by people the victim knows (and intimate partners, in particular). Citizens commit, both on average and in quantity, more crimes than do immigrants (documented or otherwise). And while we're on the topic, frat boys are several times more likely to commit an act of rape than any other group in the general populace.

    All sexual violence and murder are bad. If you in fact cared about that, you would be striking a decidedly feminist tone and critiquing longstanding structural inequalities--not singling out the undocumented.
