Trump news the second

[robkelk]

I disagree, the purpose of saying it is to inform the politician of what you see as an issue, doing so in such a public way does nothing more than back them into a corner,

He's only being backed into a corner if he refuses to listen.

and doing so where they do not and should not have to expect such a cornering

He's the VP-elect. He should be expecting this sort of thing 24x7, just like every other high-ranking politician in the last four decades had to expect it 24x7. To quote another elected Republican, "Suck It Up, Buttercup."

does nothing to endear you to them.

Well, duh. It's protest speech. It isn't supposed to be endearing.

EDIT: An appropriate quote:

A protest song is a song that's so specific that you cannot mistake it for bullshit.
