    Most of the campus protests were non-violent, why did the cops come in?

    Maybe if you need to arrest the troublemakers but anything else is not cool man.

      If the school requests they disband or vacate, and the students fail to comply, they can be charged with trespassing. I’m not defending the actions of the college or the police. I’m just stating that the school defines acceptable conduct on its grounds. Even state schools have conduct policies.

      Also, the President does not control the police. They report to the mayor. If the President dispatched the National Guard, like Trump did to the protesters in Portland and DC, then you could blame Biden.

        The Biden administration may not be directly responsible, but just like Trump, his endorsement of racism and fascism emboldens the racists and fascists to act more openly.

          What Trump did by having protesters shot with rubber bullets by the National Guard in DC and driving tanks through Portland was certainly fascist. How has Biden been fascist to protesters?

            I never said Biden was a fascist, though I am saying that now. Biden is a corporo-fascist, just like nearly every US politician.

            What I said was that he endorses fascism, i.e. a fascist state, i.e. Israel.

              By definition a liberal is not a fascist.

              You don’t even know what you are talking about.

                  No, I think you should look up the differences between fascists and liberals.

                  Biden is the most liberal who ever liberalled.

                  But he isn’t. You just think he is because you think everyone that disagrees with you is a fascist.

      Dude when they are actually being silenced though ??? Fuck dude can we appreciate having a president that at least fucking pretends to respect different opinions?

      Don’t stop being critical and always push for better. But damn please do not forget the drastic difference between this peaceful rhetoric vs having your president declare citizens unpatriotic or an enemy, liars, or whatever for disagreeing with him.

        He doesn’t even pretend to respect different opinions, the public was wanting some form of universal health Care. He said he would veto it, citizens were saying defund the police. His answer was increased funding by over a hundred times, A very large majority of his own party was calling for a ceasefire. His solution is increased funding and increased weapons. When we try to push for better liberals try to silence us. It’s leftists that are having to do the jobs that liberals wont do for their own party. If liberals spent half as much time holding their politicians accountable as they do punching left we wouldn’t have someone like Trump on his ballot and we wouldn’t have someone like Biden on the ballot. Biden and his party passing resolutions equating anti-zionism to anti-Semitism is calling anti-zionist protesters undemocratic, unpatriotic. And then he tries to lie and gaslight the public by saying that he has seen pictures of be-headed babies when the White House had a back track and say there were no pictures of beheaded babies, but he has had a long long history of habitually lying. Exactly like he did in his speech at Morehouse.
