I've heard of them. I've never heard of you.

Not exactly a good thing..... One of the problems with making a lot of noise is drowning out the voices of others on the same side.

Political capital is a thing, utilizing it in a protest that doesn't really accomplish anything but turning public sentiment against your cause is kinda a dumb way to spend it.

You say they're spending political capital. I say they're building political capital. They're creating a fuss. They're creating noise, which can then be turned into action. What are you doing?

They're creating noise, which can then be turned into action.

How? In what situation is there a problem that is more easily solved when people "make a fuss"?

What are you doing?

Not turning potential allies into enemies?

What are you doing?
