Ever notice how the Party is tougher on progressives that belong to the party they're protesting than they are on republicans trying to overthrow the national government?
It's weird, right?
Especially this year, Biden should be inviting protestors front and center and engaging in a dialog.
That would actually get him votes at least. Even if he doesn't budge at all, a dialog gets more votes than police abuse.
Like, the only reason there's protests to begin with is we can't open a dialog.
It's like Biden doesn't even want to campaign for votes. He's not putting the work in that traditional candidates do. Probably because most Dem presidents are much younger than Biden.
Hahahaha, right, right
Overthrow the government. Even DOJ disagrees with that.
Oddly you ignore the hundreds if leftists that stormed congress in 2018...that was 10x more an Insurrection than Jan 6
The protestors against the nomination and selection of kavenaugh did not breach the doors, nobody died, proceedings were not disrupted, the aim of the protestors was not to lynch the sitting vice president and overthrow the government but to say "we shouldn't hire a rapist," no congresspersons toured the kav protestors, no congresspersons tweeted the live location of potential targets, ...
This feeble attempt at rewriting history is shivering nude, though I admit I am glad you agree that J6 was an insurrection, even if to get there you had to draw this false equivalence.
False equivalence as the other guy said, but also Jan 6 was so much funnier. I think about the guy tazing his balls whenever I hear a media person say "civil war???"
