I'm seeing "right wing" influencers encouraging people to vote Democrat to "protest" the bombing of Iran.
This is so retarded I do not think I need more words.

I don't vote for Trump. I live in Europe.
I heard Germany arrested some citizens today for disagreeing with the government. You really think you can vote your way out of that when Germany makes opposing political parties illegal?
There is far more to the power of the people than just 'voting'. Authoritarian regimes are regularly brought down by people banding together, strategizing, protesting, striking, etc.
Usually, that's because the people are backed by another country with power like when the USA or Israel initiates its color revolutions on other countries to instill their puppets.
Also, authoritarian regimes aren't the problem. Evil regimes are. Name one instance where White people got a better government through peaceful protest?
Truth enough, but they have a lot of valuable strategies that can be used.
I never said anything about whether they were or not. I said that regimes can end even when they don't allow for free elections, and authoritarian regimes don't.
Playing devil's advocate here. The IRA was only part of the equation for Ireland. They also had a political wing, popular support, and did everything they could to improve the lives of the Irish. It wasn't all bombs and assassination.
Palestine is actually a good example as well. Sure there are resistance fighters (not gonna call them the T-word) but there are also humanitarian efforts and aid going to the innocent civilians - can't stress that part enough - harmed by the IDF. It's why Free Palestine is a much catchier slogan than TJD. Don't count out optics.
