    Protests don’t work so we should stop protesting? That is honestly the most brain dead thing I’ve heard yet on the subject!

    If you want to retire it, make something better like I already said. We can’t retire it until there’s something to replace it.

      When did I ever say protests don’t work? What are you talking about? I am saying this specific term did not prove to be good. In fact, it was VERY useful for the right wing media machine to easily twist words and distract from the end goal.

      There are other tactics and verbiage that should be used.

        Then do it. Make it a bigger deal. But don’t just sit there and decry what is actually working as a rallying slogan when you have nothing to contribute. When your slogan is a better slogan with a better message behind it, then I will switch my own tune to your ideas.
