Look I get it, democrats are largely feckless. But there's something icky about spending time yelling at people who are at a book signing for a Black man who routinely makes anti Trump statements.
If we are protesting, wouldn't it make more sense to protest the people who support Trump instead?

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening.
People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book.
Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

Y'all so used to what these white politicians who never had to fight against racism and fail upwards do that y'all can't see past your own privilege sometimes.
It ain't perfect. But to act like the real problem is a Black democrat reeks of racism.

We need more books about the Black experience, even books by Black men who I don't 100 percent agree with on everything.
How does a Black man writing a book about his life cause harm? How is that a wrong thing to do? Explain.
Telling a Black man what to do with his own time is giving slave master vibes if I'm being honest.
Protesters need to get their shit together.
Go block the fucking Facebook complex. Shutdown the private airports. Sink a fucking Oligarchs yacht. Take out an X data center. It all makes more sene that protesting him.
We can both condemn the bad guys and pressure the ineffectual leaders of the Dems at the same time
A book tour in the middle of a coup is just terrible optics and exemplifies everything people hate about Dems rn
How is this making more news than Trump being protested?
What's that have to do with this book tho? We should challenge dems when they do things that are harmful.
How does this book harm anyone?
Would I be promoting a book while a coup is taking place? I don't know, I might put that on the back burner.
I just want him to do an effective job.
