7 out of top 10 during Trump's presidential terms. My take is that civil duty to protest is stronger than voting for non-Republicans, maybe if elections were on saturdays instead of tuesdays...
Classic bad take
You can vote and protest, they're not mutually exclusive
Stop trying to divide the left
not sure which 2 halves i am trying to divide, just concerned Trump won despite having record protests
Exactly. Theyre not mutually exclusive. There is a lnown issue with working class people not being able to take time off on tuesdays to go vote. If elections were saturdays, maybe there would be a better turn out.
I feel like this argument doesnt hold as much water as it used to with how easy it is to vote by mail or use early voting. At least in the 3 locations ive been for the last presidential election
Who said they were mutually exclusive?
