    Keystone XL pipeline was canceled because of physical altercation, voting rights and civil rights were passed because of physical altercations. The gay community only won their rights because of physical altercations. What is it with liberals that are terrified of actual protest?

      It was cancelled because Biden passed an executive order revoking their permit. If Trump won in 2020 they would have kept their permit and the pipeline would have been built.

      You’re trying to claim the giant souless billion dollar oil company would decide against making more profit simply because of some minor protests and confrontations with police. You’re basically making the same argument free market capitalists do…

        Biden canceling the permit was the final step, there was A LOT of activism and fighting well before that happened. And Biden only revoked the permit because SCOTUS killed the project August 2020

          And would Trump, who made a big deal about supporting the pipeline in 2016, have cancelled the pipeline if he won in 2020?

            He wouldn’t have had a choice, SCOTUS killed it during his term. Regardless if he would have revoked the permit or not it couldn’t move forward.

                Joe Biden helped give us Thomas, Obama refusing to fight gave us Gorsuch, and RBGs arrogance gave us Comey-Barrett.

                  You’re deflecting blame from trump purposefully filling the supreme court with corrupt justices. You are literally a MAGA, you’re just in denial.

                    That’s not shifting blame thats pointing directly at the cause. Your responses fly in the face of your claim to being a leftist, the amount of water you carry for the oligarchy doesn’t leave any time for the actions you claim you’ve made.
