    I’m so confused.

    Aren’t you two agreeing with each other, that protests work and protestors vote?

    A protest vote is something else entirely.

        I’m only confused because I can’t understand the conflict between the two statements. I certainly don’t disagree with your second paragraph.

        If you think he was saying the protesters will not vote for Biden, I kind of understand your point but that is also part of why Biden may be making the changes he is, which means again that you are both right - assuming the protesters decide Biden is worth voting for.

          Yeah, I’m pretty sure the person they are trying to “educate” was just making a joke. They said “Protesters vote” because the person they replied to said “go ahead and downvote”.

          I’ve noticed this a lot on Lemmy. It’s like everyone went full dumb-ass when they came here from reddit. I’m pretty sure most of the problem is with how federation works, so people are not seeing all of the comments to get the context.

        You are confused because you think that there is one solution that always works for every situation.

        That’s funny, I don’t remember them saying that part. My memory must be slipping.
