That's the joke.

You're so right and smart. On that note it's weird that nobody wants the US to bomb their own schools when an active shooter is holding up there.
Level the whole school. That will prevent future shooters.
On the bright side, the friends you do have probably wouldn't expel a kid for finger guns.
My responses were brief. I should be more clear and less of a dick. I'm sorry for that.
As I said earlier in the thread that you didn't read or didnt understand, "The politically adept way to answer protesters with a substantial base of support that you don't want to alienate is to say, 'I hear you.'"
If she wants their votes she needs policy and actions that will win those votes.
It's a protest at a press conference. When protesting its beneficial to take your message to the press and politicians. I'm not claiming it was their turn to speak because the entire point of a protest is taking a stand and making your voice heard even if it isn't convenient.
Historically effective protest movements weren't convenient for politicians.
I'm sorry, I had no idea this concept could be so alien to anybody.
Protests are not effective if they can be ignored. THE ENTIRE POINT IS THAT IT ISN'T THEIR TURN TO SPEAK.
Edit: The politically adept way to answer protesters with a substantial base of support that you don't want to alienate is to say, "I hear you."
It likely is, but she most recently used the same phrase to shutdown pro-palestine protestors at a rally.
Describing people begging for a genocide to stop as just having hurt feelings and being impatient is a wild approach.
Protests aren't supposed to be silent. That's the entire point and the only way to get anything done. If Harris was already campaigning on a ceasefire they would have nothing to protest about and she wouldn't be interrupted. These are constituents making their voices heard.
"I'm speaking."
She has used this multiple times, but most recently it was to shut down people protesting the genocide of palestinians.
Edit: Who's downvoting my factual and verifiable answer to their question?
I thought it was the microplastics.
Let them have trial by combat
