IMO peaceful protests do have an impact; however, there is a point where those stop working and more direct action needs to be taken. Problem is people don't want to out of fear of the police.

Peaceful protests only make an impact when they turn violent. And usually only when the Govt. initiates the violence. Right now the Govt. WANTS the violence because then they can declare martial law and stop the midterm elections.

Women got the right to vote through non-violence. This is completely untrue that nonviolence has done nothing. If the numbers get big enough, the government will begin to be afraid of us, again. The billionaires might be afraid again if we show up in the millions to their front door.

Ugh, look up the suffragettes - their was 100% violence

Imma leave this here from Wikipedia

Suffragette violence refers to the militant actions taken by members of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) in the early 20th century, including bombings and arson, aimed at gaining women's suffrage in the UK. This campaign, which lasted from 1912 to 1914, resulted in casualties and was viewed by many as a form of terrorism, ultimately leading to a complex legacy regarding the suffrage movement's effectiveness and public perception

This led directly to the US women’s right to vote movement

Yeah I'm sure the suffragettes mail bombing campaign and assassination program had nothing to do with it.

Buddy read some history first. Nothing in life is every given for free, and many people bled and died to get you the rights you enjoy today, don't let them slip away
