    Protesting is ineffective full stop.

    Couldn’t be further from the truth. Every single right you have that doesn’t directly benefit rich white men was achieved by people protesting until politicians could no longer stand in the way of justice without being trampled, figuratively speaking.

    Write a letter to your senator and vote for senators with your views

    Aww, you still think all senators care about what you want if you’re not supplying the legal bribes they depend on for re-election and personal enrichment? AND you think either of the two major parties of the US will just let you vote for someone who actually represents your interests rather than a corporate stooge who can help further enrich the private corporations masquerading as public organisations?

    That’s fucking adorable! 😂

      that doesn’t directly benefit rich white men

      The in-group was originally even far more narrow than that: it was basically xtian cishet land-owning white men. Thank goodness there is a framework for changing that, though.
