      Voluntarily give up your constitutional right to assemble so that you are used to it when the rest of your rights are taken away.

      Go ahead and vote, but get organized and resist the other 364 days in the year

      Vote for who? The current president residing over the current situation thats being protested or the person who also wants to do the same stuff being protested?

        The other guy doesn’t want to do the same thing. The other guy wants to end it, by means of Israel finishing their job. Biden at least is against it, though he could do more to stop it. Trump is in favor of it. Both sides aren’t the same. Get over it.

          Biden is against it? Thats why he keeps sending israel more bombs? Even bypassing congress to send bombs? I didnt say theyre the same i said they both support what israel is doing. I dont understand how you see people protesting something happening now and say they should stop protesting and vote for the current president so the problem under his presidency can stop?

      Alright, this is odd. Normally I’m telling the people saying not to vote that they should vote in addition to taking other actions. I didn’t ever expect to have to counter someone saying not to protest and to only vote. Why would you make this comment? Why not protest and vote? Why are you making it seem like you can only do one?

      Protest can be more impactful, especially in the short term, than voting. They’re both useful. The problem with protesting is it takes more effort and time than voting, which is simple and easy. Everyone should vote because it’s trivial, but it shouldn’t be in exclusion to protest or other actions.
