    The problem with this strategy is that you commit yourself to either conceding that things are better by returning, or just conceding that you have more important priorities.https://twitter.com/axios/status/1298761999678164992 …

        The only exit ramp here is declaring victory by “increasing awareness” in 24 Hours and moving on. If the NBA players leave the bubble then you’re looking at Huge economic consequences that might cause Adam Silver to put the brakes on this.

        I'm not sure that's right. Walkouts are often symbolic statements about a particular moment that dont necessarily involve a "we're out until it's fixed" commitment.

        I don't think they have any impact on legislators, though. If they all said they'll campaign for any candidate who endorses ending QI, now THAT would make a difference.

        Class: an example of the what Hirschman called the “futility” argument in the reactionary rhetorical toolbox. See Rhetoric of Reaction. (Better to not protest, right?)

        Just amazing to me that conservatives who pat the national back about the Founding lose sight of the riskiness that came with rebellion. Protest was good 240 years ago, now everyone stay in your place.

        This type of derision and condescension is precisely why the GOP’s token minority parades won’t yield much electorally. When it comes to disproportionate police violence on minorities, the GOP just doesn’t care
