How in the fuck is "death to the IDF" anti-semitic? At no point was the chant directed towards jews. They were protesting against a military machine that is being employed in apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide.

We do, that's a fact, but a movement's success shouldn't be judged by whether or not it had a 100% closing rate.

My wife and I have been working since the 90's. The amount of inappropriate shit I have seen prior to #metoo would fill volumes, and I worked in what was considered a more progressive industry. Because of #metoo and similar corporate policies regarding behaviour have dramatically changed and it has been shown that even the executive floor can be affected. Sure, most CEO's will get a lot of leeway where a manager would not, but I can guarantee you that a CIO is going to think really hard before walking into the office of a woman in her twenties, at two in the morning during an all night downtime, close the door, and proceed to "chat her up". He would also think twice before telling a room full of senior managers, of which she was the only female, that he had been having dreams about her. Both of these things, and a lot more, happened to my wife. Years after she walked out of that job, many of her ex-coworkers, including some of the managers in that meeting, expressed surprise that she did not sue. The truth is that she didn't feel that she had the power to do so. The #metoo movement changed many of the aspects of her scenarios. Although the male managers twenty years ago would have spoken up if asked to testify in a lawsuit, many of them would have spoken out at the moment today...unprompted. Women today know that inappropriate situations do not have to be tolerated and that male coworkers can be willing allies.

No it isn't perfect. Far from it. But it is light years away from where we started.

I agree with everything except #metoo. That movement had a profound effect on corporate America. The reason it had an effect is because it had teeth. If you got outed as a predator, the online lynch mob would cancel the fuck out of you. They'd call your job and flood them with bad PR until they fired you. You would become radioactive.

Everything else. Every other protest has little to no consequences attached. No consequences, no results.

I'm sick in bed for the third straight day, so I'm bored. I made this incredibly stupid edit as a comment response. Figured I'd share.

I blocked a lot of political keywords, so I am genuinely asking because I might be ill informed. What concrete actions have the Democrats taken to block, stop, or reverse Trumps illegal actions?

Again, I am genuinely asking.
