They emphasized the importance of President Blinken's recent visit to the Middle East and expressed hope for a resolution that could impact their voting choice.
Overall, the protesters outside the DNC reflected a diverse range of perspectives and concerns regarding the upcoming election. Their criticisms of the major parties and calls for meaningful change underscored a deep-seated dissatisfaction with the current political landscape.
