Crowd of 30 liberal pro-homosexuals go and raid a Target Store in a bizarre, cringe-inducing perform - General

[QUOTE=Jack32;50145089]Is hassling a bunch of minimum wage employees and some busy customers really achieving anything? I mean this pretty much makes me want to support Target.[/QUOTE] where else will they go? in front of a corporate building at a city plaza where no one gives a shit and goes on with their day? they do this because it makes a scene, it gathers attention easier than going outside and doing it. if you can grab peoples attention and relay the message with out them leaving or booing, you've succeeded in protest. the point is to educate them with what your protesting so that they can also develop an opinion on it. maybe they didn't know target has something against homosexuals, and now they do. maybe it'll change the way those customers or workers view the company?

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;50143272]Those are the parties. Parties are not actually a form of the US government in any way, they simply act as governing bodies of an independent political movement. Shady? Yes. Shitty? Yes. Non-democratic? No.[/QUOTE] In principle not non-democratic, in practice, yes it is. In a different system it wouldn't be a problem, but you have to face the fact that this US election could've been between 4 or 5 parties, with Sanders, Trump and Kasich voters being represented, but instead you end up with two parties that people are basically shamed into voting for. The two parties have no interest in changing the status quo of them being the only viable parties, and superdelegates help make that happen. In just the last 7-8 years, two new parties have arisen in Denmark and captured about 15-20% of the current popular vote (were we to have an election today).

I don't disagree and I'm all for giving it to the man (and I love Depeche Mode), but if I'm shopping and surrounded by gross people and children and everything is overpriced and everything sucks, the last thing I would want is a god damn protest distracting all the employees from getting me in and out as quickly as humanly possible. That may just be me though, I also live in British Columbia, Canada; all people complain about is weed and having to move to Chilliwack because living is expensive.

Why is that one guy saying tar-jay instead of Target?

I heard the same thing.

[QUOTE=Ricool06;50148678]Why is that one guy saying tar-jay instead of Target?[/QUOTE] To sound different and cool. This video have me a headache 10 seconds in

I thought this was pretty cool, I don't get what people are on about hassling employees. This was literally a 5 minute protest and they showed themselves out the door. I'd think it was pretty funny if I was an employee there.

[QUOTE=Ricool06;50148678]Why is that one guy saying tar-jay instead of Target?[/QUOTE] to rhyme with 'away.' it's a low-key normal person meme to make it sound fancy

[QUOTE=Renderman;50148691]To sound different and cool. This video have me a headache 10 seconds in[/QUOTE] lol it's a pretty common joke to say that it's not to sound different or cool

I have a special kind of disdain for people who do this flash mob-esque public singing and dancing shit

personally, i thought it was something out of portlandia

[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;50143905]our voting system has been turned to be heavily geared towards supporting only 2 parties, regardless of what those parties are.[/QUOTE] It also doesn't help that those two parties made laws giving federal funding to the parties with at least 15% of the popular vote from a previous election. That makes it so third parties literally have no chance since the media never reports on them, thus the common denominator who watches tv all day never hears of them, thus doesn't vote for them, and prevents them from getting that federal minimum to get funding.
