Protests now may be counterproductive. Instead concentrate on GOTV.

The protests for BLM and against institutional racism are, of course, just.
However, the point has been made.
Now, the question is what is the motive.
Who are we protesting to or about that will help ?
Trumps only chance of winning is turning these protests into his law and order platform.
Using his goons to cause violence.

So, what if there’s no one there to fight.
What if the protests stopped completely or at nightfall when the violence always occurs.
Don’t give Trump what he wants.
Dont give him the tv visuals of smoke, tear gas, buildings or cars on fire.

There will be no social justice if Trump wins again.
We must do everything to insure that Biden wins.
And Biden is begging everyone on our side to not take the bait.
Dont be props to his law and order bullshite campaign.

Instead of protesting for the next 9 weeks, register voters.
GOTV in Your neighborhoods.
Defeating Trump at the ballot box is YOUR BIGGEST WEAPON to achieve your goals.

1. we are fighting to save our country and the opposition WANT BLM protest and want them to become

violent. Its a huge mistake if we let that happens. This election is about way MORE than just BLM. Way more.

2. Yes. Our Very democracy is on the ballot this year. That simple.

3. problem is? People are easily suckered into the quicksand. BLM SHOULD NOT be even a top 10 issue

moving forward and unless democrats win and win big, its all going to go to shit

7. Should not even be a top 10 issue?

That is sad.

I guess you are completely unaware of disparities in our justice system.

Do you want BLM activists vote for Biden? Have you thought about how this attitude impacts those on the fence about Biden but support BLM?

6. If BLM isn't your concern

Then it isn't your business on what they should be protesting or why. FFS the President is a racist. He is an example of our institutional racism.

4. capitulation

...protesters aren't the problem, Trump, police, and militias are instigating and committing violence against protesters. Tell them to stand down.

BLM isn't part of the Democratic party. We can support them, or we can oppose, but to purport to dictate to them is bad enough without the falderal that they control what Trump will do, or how you or anyone else want to portray them.

Telling protesters to stand down in the face of government repression, especially this dangerous, new fascism from the White House, is a capitulation that would make generations of oppressed blanch. What a goddamn shame to see this here.

5. Totally agree

Let them drive around on empty streets....maybe we'll get lucky and they'll start offing each other.

[bigtree]

8. whose streets?

9. There are a lot of different ways to push change. Voting is one. Protesting is another. Both are

effective for different things. Pick the tactic that appeals to you and go for it. Encouraging people to stop protesting and focus on voting is as bad an idea as telling people to stop voting and only protest.

10. It's all riding on November 3rd now.

Most important election since 1860.

11. Stop the protests especially after dusk. Pls!

[Funtatlaguy]

12. Unfortunately yes. Don't give them an issue, fake as it may be.
