Reply #14: Granted, but then why are we spending so much time on these? [View All]

If the protests are just to raise awareness and to energize people for the next steps, then shouldn't we be spending our energies more on the next step?

And I think the outrages now are such that the next step is civil disobedience and non-violent throwing of "sand" in the machine rather than letters to the editor, work in the local Democratic bodies, campaigning for progressive candidates and issues, calls to the reps, one by one education, all of which I do now.
