See How Mass Protest Can Impact Impeachment Fights | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
I wanna go down to the protest !
If you stand out front they will offer to pay you to come in and hold a sign
Public and peaceful protests are a sign of a healthy democracy
Unless you’re kap.
Kap for president 2020
They are a sign of people who need to get jobs
I don’t like protests, but they matter. For example, (this might offend Obama fans), when the Supreme Court approved Citizens United…Obama just passively objected. The Supreme Court is always “taking the pulse” of the people, in making their judgements. And to just mumble objections, means they are not inclined to think they got it wrong. In politics…you can’t just passively object…(relative) silence means approval. You MUST protest LOUDLY.
“There maybe times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.”
– Elie Weisel
START THE PROTESTS!!
Why ? It doesn’t matter….
Nobody cares what the wackos on the left think…
Take over Washington DC!
Maxine Waters started this long ago

LISTEN TO MICHAEL MOORE, PEOPLE!
Go Bernie Sanders! And here’s why!
Democratic Socialism actually means using taxpayers money by government to either promote/subsidize/incentivize/bailout any socioeconomic activity not wholly owned by the state or provide basic necessities of livelihood protection for citizens in addition to catering for other civic responsibilities like the armed forces as well. That’s the common sense definition of democratic socialism in totality.
With that said, in reality prejudices borne out of ideological differences compounded with human tendency to discriminate has over the years made application obscured instead of wholesome.
Human tendency to be influenced by the glamour of self aggrandizement for power created immoral ruling class in government who chose to redefine democratic socialism in a selfish manner that ultimately dislodged wider population who actually pay taxes that provide the fund.
So obscured that their new definition now means giving huge tax breaks to corporations and their billionaires owners even with proven republicans misleading intent that otherwise claimed to create trickle down economics pushed through over the years without any positive effect but instead tends to nurture endless poverty.
Again remember those corporations tax breaks actually means that the poor workings class people will now pay more than necessary if the tax system was fairly regulated proportionate to everyone’s income to cover the huge tax breaks given to the RICH and their CORPORATIONS, amazing right?
Yes, in republican obscurity Democratic socialism now also means propping up capitalism model that discriminates by bailing out failed banks with taxpayers money when they go bankrupt for making risky investment because they are too big to fail and their executives who made this reckless decision for toxic investments never get jailed but instead given millions in allowances as bonus while keeping blind eye to exploding budget deficit which they decried under Obama administration.
When Democratic socialism benefits the upper class and their cronies with republicans obscurity it’s called incentives for promoting businesses in capitalism but when it means providing basic necessities like free tuition, affordable healthcare and free water and subsidized accommodation for ordinary citizens it’s called communist socialism. In republican obscurity.
This is the reason why Bernie Sanders is uniquely qualified to be the next president of the United States because he is the champion of Democratic Socialism that works for everybody from bottom up within the definition of pure and applied principles of true capitalism which meant free market economy and the promotion of fair justice.
Elizabeth warren will make a formidable vice presidency team setting a stage for woman president in 2024.
Nazi socialism
@Gabe Dudley: No, in fact not even vaguely related.
Americans must stand up against Trump!
Yep, that explains why they elected him. Next.
Lol. You let trump break your brain
Well, this is interesting. MSNBC calling for public protests. Fine, and I want rid of Trump as badly as anyone, but (a) I have work and life, and (b) I really don’t feel like firing up the 30-40% idiots who would then be out there as well. In short, country, it’s time to adult. Tell you what you can do: Call and write your senators. Make sure your representatives know how unhappy you were with their vote not to impeach, their decision to enable and abet Trump’s behavior. Over and over. This would be more impactful, and the Trump crowd are incapable of responding in kind, since they seem to have great difficulty in forming clear, coherent thoughts that don’t contradict each other from one minute to the next. The facts are on our side and in the end, the facts will win.
Good for you, but in this administration, for how long would be able to keep it. God Bless !
👍👌🌊💙
It’s obvious…South Koreans are 100 times more intelligent than Americans.
Puerto Rico did’it in less than a month ! The Governor Roselló resigns afther the people demand’it. That’s the road to fallow ! Summer of 2019.
Yaaaassssss!!! Let’s do it.. #Union2020 💪🏽🇺🇸 Murica
For the people. By the people.
See you in the streets.
The tide is turning, the 99% can stomp the elites.
RUMP planning to escape to RUSSIA most likely when it all caves in. Make it happen SOON!
Ditto!
Russia is where he belongs, or, of course, in prison.
Unfortunately, here in the USA there is a likely potential for armed trumpsters at massive impeachment protests, and that is a very realistic deterrent to attending.
The Democracy movements you refer to, want the very constitutional rights of free speech that MSNBC and the left of the Democrats are trying to undermine. Many of the Hong Kong protestors carry American flags and chant ‘Trump’. If they were in the US they would support the Republicans.
Let’s go after it , it’s a treason act this president and his government do.
In end of the line is the freedom of speech and your country’s freedom
It’s good to protest; but , these days too many chances for violent opposition. Hear what I said.
I doubt that Americans can get their cheese burger cellulite laden butts out for very long.
Unless they’re offered money then that is inspiration for more cheeseburgers!!😁
count me in! The Republicans will never let go without mass protest it seems.
Mass protest? There would be counter protests. There would be riots and violence in America that haven’t been seen since the Civil war. The death toll would be on the media’s hands.
TRANSLATION Soros Paid Protests , its not grassroots DnC is evil
