      I love how we’re all so stuck up our own asses that people actually think it makes sense to hamper any sort of attempt at progress because it’s not perfect. This is the same exact shit as single issues voters in the Republican party over guns or anti-abortion. So focused on one thing that they can’t even understand they’re hurting themselves.

      Maybe this isn’t you exactly, but it’s what your comments rhetoric represents.

      Protests should absolutely be disruptive. What they shouldn’t do is occur at events to support different marginalized groups. Protesting an abortion rights rally is fundamentally different from shutting down a highway. It’s like having anti police brutality protest disrupt a pro asylum rally. How does it help to disrupt an event for an issue the protestors probably support as well?

      Again, I get they were there to protest Biden, but do it when he’s at a random campaign event, not when he’s at an event to support a marginalized group.
