How is this constructive? How does this contribute to anything?
It seems like you're just as bad, if not worse, than the people you disagree with.

If that's the conclusion you want to end up with, I am sure you will.
 
Politics is thousands of years old. There will be many future opportunities to take back the Democratic Party or a similar party. :expressionless:

You just called someone "parasitic". How is that constructive? Honestly?

Sometimes to build something better, you must tear down what is already there.

Well, nothing, but if it's the only part of your post it doesn't contribute to anything.
If I write "I like apples" and you write "you're like a hemorrhoid" it doesn't do anything other than insult the other person and kill the discussion. If you wrote "you're like a hemorrhoid because apples give you diarrhea" or even "you're like a hemorrhoid because I like oranges" - that's another story.

It's implied. Occupying Trump sounds like something a tape worm would do. Comparing protesters to parasites is an allusion to how uncomfortable and non-beneficial the occupation is. Trump doesn't get anything constructive out of it.

Not all parasites live on the inside of its host. I think comparing some humans to parasites is a reasonable thing to do in some circumstances. I appreciate your suggestion though. However I dont think I will be following it so be prepared to be confronted with the same at some point in the future should I be compelled.

Likely.
Hey this is a good question I think and maybe @ezra can help answer it. If a cockroach crawls into your ear or nostril while you are sleeping, does it become a parasite at that point?

No they're pests, not parasites.

Hmmmm There's at least two major types of Trump protesters:
1. Pests (large hoards of women with jobs).
2. Parasites (professional protesters, democrat shills, and attention whores).
