Remember to keep things peaceful and kind, both on the streets are on this thread.

That’s what I say. It’s nice seeing the protests now but my question is whether any of these people voted - you know, the place where real change happens

Eh, I'm not sure that strictly follows. If every single soul that turned out today voted Kamala it still wouldn't have mattered.

The fact of the matter is its a lot harder to get people to deviate from their daily lives before the bad stuff starts happening.
