If you're feeling left out it's probably because you defend billionaires who would mince you into fertilizer

You think the George Floyd case was a good example of electoral politics?! That's actually more of a point of organizing outside of party politics. Your point of gay marriage is better, but honestly in my mind that has more to do with brave queer folk living their lives and normalizing it than any politician.
Yeah the George Floyd riots did not help that it was very polarizing. What? The point is progress was made through the political system. Yes it was normalized, but those situations are not in opposition to eachother. Usually things become socially acceptable and then they become more legally acceptable.
Calls protests riots.
Yeah have a good one mate.
? I know there were a lot of actual protest but yeah there definitely was rioting.
Yeah I dont see protesting as acting outside the political system. I see it as an important part of it that helps spread awareness as I said before...
