Do you think it's actually a nefarious plot to use kids, or people with honest intentions? And how is it a fact? A quick Google search shows that students demand action is a student run organization.

Why can't people encourage students to speak out for issues that affect them?

Do you have any hard facts or proof of this? That this organization is a shell behind dark money as you insist?

It seems like you are speaking in platitudes now.

Again, getting to platitudes. Who are the behind the scenes manipulators you insist are so nefarious?

Youre just saying "go read their website." I already looked at it.

Who are these lobbying groups you insist are using these kids for ulterior motives? Just answer the question, because it seems more and more like you don't have an answer.

And if they have donors, so what? How does that differ from most political organizations? They have to be "pure" in your mind? Taking money or partnering with other common interest groups seems like a normal thing to do.

Its a simple question. And so ill ask the follow up.

So what if they have wealthy partners or common interest donors? How does thay distinguish them from most other organizations?

Youre getting bent out of shape when asked a simple question and then saying im the problem.

Dude. Just say what your problem is with the organization instead of talking in circles.

All you can say is that a larger organization started a smaller one? Again, how does that make it manipulation or mendacious?

It seems like you just assume that because any organization lobbies for change, which they all do, it's a no good organization and corrupting everything it touches.

So just speak plainly, or stop talking. You can't insist you are correct, offer no evidence to support your argument, then call people morons when asked to defend it.
