Is your suggestion to sit on our hands for four years?

90% of folks can't be trained to kill.

Half of the remainder would rather frag their own commanding officers than some poor foreign kid.

Let me correct you:

"Survive maybe, protest never. There is no effective way to send a message regardless of how many people have or will die."

I have a hard time blaming the voters for anything when they live in the most heavily propagandized country on the planet. Ultimately the voters opinions don't matter when they can be shaped by billions of dollars in ads and media time.

You seem to be assuming that they didn't vote for no apparent reason.

He's annoying, but he's right.

If they didn't want to lose because of protest votes they should have thrown a bone to the protesters before the election.

The DNC chose this, everything else is just an attempt to deflect blame.

The only other message that could be sent is "Yes, good, keep doing that."

Are you not aware that draft dodging was a crime?

And Democrats tried to appeal to MAGA instead of their own voting base.

If they didn't set themselves up to be the only solution then they should disband so another party could do so.

You're describing an oligarchy with extra steps, not Democracy.
