Kamala Harris got over 73% of the vote in King County. Nobody here likes Trump, we get it. They should go protest in Kentucky or something.
People living in Seattle should go to Kentucky to protest?
What is the primary goal of a protest?

I would say it’s to influence/mobilize voters.
Completely practical

I agree with you. The protesters are preaching to the choir in areas where their views are the same as everyone else’s. At that point it just a case of them wanting attention for “protesting.” They’re not making anyone think about voting issues that way. Those people are already going to vote the way the protesters want them to.
Maybe not in Seattle, but it will make the news, social media, etc…for anybody to see. Better than nothing, if they’re genuinely doing it for the right reasons
