    I’ve voted in every local and national election as soon as I turned 18. Protested in George Floyd protests. I’m 30 now. Shit takes way too long.

      Protesting is for you to feel good. Unless you’re protesting for civil rights and being arrested for breaking an unjust law.

      If you want to influence the process, you should volunteer for a candidate’s campaign and forget protests. Sorry, but it’s the truth.

        While I generally agree with you, protesting has a place. Protesting alone is useless, but protests in concert with working for concrete policy changes is a force multiplier.
