Im not saying it can never work. Im just asking how often it does that work. I know people will point towards MLK but so many lost their lives in those peaceful protests that I dont want to use that as an example

Well there is peaceful protests, there are non peaceful protests, and there are rioting looting fuckface criminals looking for an excuse to openly be fuckface criminals who probably dont care what the reason is.

The looters are bad but thats what you get for ignoring all the peaceful methods used before today. With rioting comes looting. The country accepted this by allowing the police to commit hate crimes unchecked.

The issue here, highlighted by the example used of the people power revolution, is that non-violent protests often come about after violence in one way or another bring attention and more support to the cause.

yeah, and there are those who say violence is not the answer and yet they benefit from the ones who do it for them

This is some long-term thinking Republicans set up the Democrats for success level of logic. Fuck off with that shit.

Every non violent protest has succeeded in not being violent.

Historically, the economy has always fared better under Democrats. The Republicans argument is that this happens because Republicans set long term policies that don't see returns until 4+ years after the Republicans have left office while Democrats do short-sighted stuff that hurt us in the long run but brings up numbers in the short term while their in office.

The truth is the Republicans are just all around shit. They do short term stuff like lower taxes for the wealthy which increases America's debt in exchange for a brief stock market boost, or lower regulations that also briefly raise markets but set us up for market crashes.
