    I’m so glad the George Floyd protests solved police brutality!

    This is why protesting should only be treated as the initial rallying cry to garner support. Without the millions protesting willing to engage in direct action — like general strikes, permanent boycotts, etc — there will never be meaningful change.

      I remember when Biden mocked the Defund the Police movement in his first SOTU, and then went on to accelerate the militarization of police. Now, we have cop cities.

      At the end of the day, none of these people are going to vote differently than they have for decades, so nothing is going to change.

        Coupling his Defund response with his backing of a far right wing genocide, and his absolute bed-defecation in the dem campaign for president, Biden is easily the worst dem president of my lifetime. And I’m not young. I hope history remembers him accurately.
