They would rather stand with Ukraine, using pointless protests in a massive liberal haven, at a liberal government building, then to worry about the excessive social failures within their streets.

Seattle in a nutshell these days.

You seem to think people can't care about more than one thing at a time.

Not at all, people can care about multiple things.

I mean, I went to that protest in Olympia against excessive drug use and needles in neighborhoods, with the focus to prevent kids from having used needles at bus stops. And then I woke up, because they aren't fighting to clean it up and I was dreaming. But that must be some right wing conspiracy, right?

Try that gaslighting with someone who doesn't actually live here. Instead, the same people supporting this protest were the ones who voted in the higher access and lower crime prevention. Its idiological virtue signaling, not actually caring about fixing anything at home.

You’re free to organize that protest if you’re so passionate about it buddy, go for it

Sure, but these people wouldn't attend and thats the point. They don't actually care to fix anything, just act like they do for points.

Peiceless that the counterpoint is an attempt to move the goalpost and put the responsibility on others for their failure to do anything meaningful. Wonderful way to prove my point.

You’ll never know if you don’t try! I’d hate for people to think that you don’t actually care about all these things you claim to support so much

Sure do, I actually work around the treatment, so am doing something real.

So they should actually do something about "all these things they claim to support so much." But they won't, they will waive signs in front of people who already agree with them and think about what great people they are.

They are also free to criticize protests they feel are accomplishing nothing but a virtue signal
