Even if you could ever provide evidence to back up your claim, which, historically, you never could, protest voters always signify a tiny block of voters, none of whom could ever hope to sway any kind of national election vote. Your point is moot.
I’m only confused because I can’t understand the conflict between the two statements. I certainly don’t disagree with your second paragraph.
If you think he was saying the protesters will not vote for Biden, I kind of understand your point but that is also part of why Biden may be making the changes he is, which means again that you are both right - assuming the protesters decide Biden is worth voting for.
Well, it was an admittedly flippant comment done in passing in an effort to highlight the fact that regardless of any perceived proximal effect, protesters are still part of the electorate. What’s more though, is the effect the protest has on opinions of the wider electorate, which is where I would wager we move from a protest vote and into the area where major change can occur.

I’m so confused.
Aren’t you two agreeing with each other, that protests work and protestors vote?
A protest vote is something else entirely.
You are confused because you think that there is one solution that always works for every situation. There is not.
Every situation requires a nuanced and particular approach. This is again one of those times.
