I don't know; it's hard for me to understand people that want to get out there and protest on the first day we elect a new guy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
This is America. Anyone is free to protest about anything they want.
Not voting is not a protest. It is a surrender.
You know, I was a community activist, so I'm used to standing out in front of an elected official's office and protesting.
I've always had questions about what it meant to be a protester, to be in the minority. Are the people who are trying to find peace, who are trying to have the Constitution apply to everybody, are they really the radicals? We're not protesting from the outside. We're inside.
One of the reasons people feel so alienated from the American political process is in the fights we get in here in Washington, no one's ever talking about them and the challenges they're going through.
We have just been working hard to have people to come out to vote and to make sure people understand how important the election is.
We all want somebody to come in and save the day and change our lives for the better.
Who can protest alone? Who dares rise up? It is not easy. One is all alone, and evermore shall be so.
Any protester knows that the only way activism works is to get the people on your side.
The rule is, you can protest all you want. Make all the noise you want. Carry all the signs you want. The minute you throw a rock, you get arrested. The minute you break a window, you get arrested. The minute you break into a store, you get arrested.
