Leftist college students to forgo food if Congress doesn't pass Democrats' voting reforms

A group of college students from Arizona has threatened to endure a second hunger strike if Democratic voting reforms are not passed by Congress before Jan. 17.
"We're prepared to hold out indefinitely now that the holidays are over," Leila Winbury, a junior at Arizona State University, said.
"I have seen the consequences of a broken democracy my entire life, so we're willing to suffer the consequences of hunger striking rather than the consequences of the bill not passing."
Whether or not Winbury and her group can hold out "indefinitely," the college student promised that this second hunger strike would be "a lot bigger" than the 15-day strike the group endured in December, according to a report.
"Nationwide hunger-striking, more than likely," she said.
That strike, which saw the group travel to Washington, D.C., ended when President Joe Biden pledged to prioritize the Freedom to Vote Act's passage.

After they realize that threatening to harm themselves won't work... they'll go back to threatening to harm others.

I'd love to fire up the Grill near their little protest.

Why should anyone care if someone willing starves themselves? Why should I step in and say, "Oh no! I disagree with you, but I can't bare to see you starve!~ Here, take what you want!"
I mean...I wouldn't give a shite if this was my kids, because sooner or later they'd cave. And if not, eventually I'd force them eat and STILL not give them what they want.

That breaks my heart...but such passion! I hope they keep their word and leave the food for more deserving folks, like conservatives!

These self-important children think anyone gives a frick if they go on a hunger strike?
Posted on 1/11/22 at 1:52 pm to cajunangelle
Of ALL types of protests, hunger strikes have to be the dumbest. Why should I give a shite if you choose to not eat?
Posted on 1/11/22 at 1:52 pm to cajunangelle
Please commit suicide by starvation. Don't half-arse it.

A hunger strike only works if people care whether or not you eat again. Besides their parents, who cares if these kids ever eat another bite of food?
Starve yourselves until you die, you morons. No one GAF.

How indoctrinated are these kids that they think voting by mail for 15 days in Uncle Brandon controlled mail box dumps is: election reform so people of color can vote?
Or not being able to offer people free lap tops, cigs, money, food, water at the polling place or bus drive there; will help people of color to vote?
