I don't concede that the protests thus far have reduced any suffering I'm Gaza.
If you want to minimise suffering in Gaza, make sure Harris wins. Do these protests further that objective?
I understand you're not suggesting people vote for Trump, but that just gets lost in the noise. There's plenty of people that would see these protests and conclude that "both sides are bad" and simply not vote.
I still won't be protesting after the election. Firstly because im not in the US, but even if i was I just don't think it's a very effective use of time.
