Thank you for protesting and I feel my generation dropped the ball on the wins you protested to achieve.

Because he was so supportive of the uncommitted strategy. I'm very skeptical that he did vote for Harris.

Even if I don't agree with a cause I support protest. I think we disagree on the best way to do it.

I fully support economic withdrawal to protest companies.

A third of the electorate doesn't vote and I bet 100% of them aren't happy with the way things are going in this country.
