Which of the following is NOT true about protest politics?

A) They are political actions designed to broaden conflicts and activate third parties.
B) The pressure they bring to bargaining situations favors the protestors.
C) Popular democrats see them as a way to create a more level playing field in American politics.
D) They are favored by small groups that aim to lobby Congress directly.

Protest politics are typically used by groups that may not have significant power or direct access to legislative bodies like Congress. Instead of lobbying Congress directly, which is a strategy often employed by more powerful, established interests with the resources to do so, these groups use protest as a means to draw public attention and pressure policymakers indirectly. Thus, saying that protest politics are favored by small groups aiming to lobby Congress directly does not accurately describe the typical strategy behind protest politics.
