Protests rally support.
They can, or they can erode it. I’ve never met a person won over by road blockade. It more like a call to rally people who already agree. If the classes you are going into debt paying for keep getting canceled or your graduation gets delayed because of protests, it’s not gonna endear you to protesters. You may agree with the message, but if you didn’t it would only further entrench you on the other end.
Wild how these protests erodes support for Palestine while also hurting Kamala because it garners support for Palestine.
Do they? Like I said, I haven’t seen anyone change their minds because of the road blocking protests. I have seen people change their minds because of reporting.
Closest I’ve seen to people change stances is literally supporters of Palestine go “fuck these kids are annoying.” But are still anti-genocide.
No, every protest does not rally support. Some do, some do not. Which is which is extremely important.
