It was Democrats who brought in the cops to remove the Pro-Palestine camps. They put down the BLM movement. They killed the railworker strike. They failed to enforce any protections for COVID.

If you give them your vote, you're endorsing that. They didn't earn your vote! Vote 3rd party then join an org.

Tim Walz, currently Harris' running mate, deployed the United States Army to Minneapolis to crush BLM and it's terrifying to me that that doesn't register with Democrats at all in any way.

Feels like everything related to the 2020 protests has been completely memoryholed except by conservatives who are still crying about "defund the police".

It really does. It was only four years ago, it was an uprising of global scope and historic scale, and it's already been erased from public and political discourse. Even occupy had more cultural impact. : |

Well the American liberals applied their color palette: us-foreign-policy

I'm assuming you meant "defund", because chuds are all about defending the police.
