    I’d love to see this stacked up with an identical poll except instead of asking what is acceptable or not, ask what is effective or not. I don’t think even libs are dumb enough to think any of the acceptable things are actually effective. It’d be a real telling chart.

      counterpoint: yes they are that dumb. they keep telling us to VOTE despite the fact that the people they want us to vote for can’t do anything.

        I dunno, usually when I press them on that they agree it’s not that effective but then they double down on “it’s the only tool we have” and “it’s better than nothing.” I think they know, I just think they don’t care enough to actually do anything differently.

      I mean, during the peak of the BLM movement literally every lib I knew was saying “violence doesn’t accomplish anything, peaceful protests and civil disobedience is the only way you win support!”

      I’ve talked to so many libs who think that nonviolent protest and calling your congressman are the only things that have literally ever caused changed
