In reply to the discussion: Protests temporarily close malls, shut down trains [View all]PosterChild
(1,307 posts)If I, a DUer who follows the issues and reads posts from folks who actually participate in the protest, can't understand what these protests are about, what hope does the general public have for understanding, sympathizing and being convinced?
In the end it's not about me and whether or not I have credibility. It's about the general public and what they make of it, having experienced the protest or having read about it in the newspaper. If you aren't concerned about that, if you don't control and shape the message in a proactive and positive way, if you come off as antagonistic and threatening, you won't be successful.
The choice is yours to make. You can take my observations and criticism as constructive and give them some consideration, or you can be defensive about it and ignore it.
