Demonstrate, but don’t mistake demonstrating for political action. You may find it gratifying to stand on a corner in Berkeley with a sign asking drivers to “honk if you hate fascism” and elicit lots of honks, but that’s as politically effectual as taking a warm shower. Organize people who don’t normally vote to vote for Biden. Mobilize get-out-the-vote efforts in your community. Get young people involved.

While I’d agree there’s a limit to the effectiveness of protest alone, it takes a certain kind of brain to think voteing is the more politically effective move.

    Don’t snivel over or criticize Biden and the Democrats for failing to communicate more effectively.

    bait This is just priming me to get mad at the first liberal who says this to my face.
