Dem congressional candidate assaulted by ICE agent

Kat is one of the few people with a political spotlight that is doing something. Sure, she's a liberal trying to fix a broken system from within; but you can't say she is one to only give speeches and not participate in active resistance.

Try to remember, anyone who takes an active role in resistance and who isn't preventing other forms of resistance is an ally.

Ah, thanks for reminding why she is still at theatrics of protest that started 22 years ago.

political spotlight

I’d say political theatrics.

active role in resistance and who isn’t preventing other forms of resistance

Care to elaborate here? I would never prevent a liberal from making a fool of themselves, like Kat is exemplifying, but how do you actually resist 90% completion of fascism?

If you don't understand the difference between resistance and obedience, then no. You aren't able to recognize an ally and I won't continue the conversation as I don't think it will be productive.
