Sure they do. The "vast" majority of Protestors, turned Rioters are Always leftists, from the War on Wall street people, to the Communist, to the Bernie Bros, to Anarchist, to Antifa. They always have been.
You need better reading comprehension and reasoning skills.
I said:
"most people on the left didn't, and wouldn't, participate in riots."
"many/most people on the left disapprove of rioters."
"rioters don't represent "the left" anymore than, say, racists represent the right."
In other words, these rioters might be "leftists" as you call them (though I'm betting most of these thugs know little about politics and probably don't vote), but not all leftists are rioters. You actually need me to clarify that?
Let's put it another way: the vast majority of people who commit violence against men, against women, against children, against animals, and the vast majority of people who participate in civic destruction...are men.
Does that mean the vast majority of men commit violence and are destructive? By your logic, the answered to that question is "yes."

The biggest indicator that things may be different for Trump -- not so easy....was the turnout at the primaries. Sanders lost in ridings he easily won against Clinton -- and lost big time and voter turnout was significant.
Even in ridings where Clinton did well, Biden managed to get MORE voters to show up.
All of this stuff -- chaos from the health crisis and the racial tensions --- aren't going to hurt Biden's chances.
It is going to be a close race and nobody can predict what can happen 5 months.
What's a "riding" as it pertains to elections/voting? I mean in the US not in a British Commonwealth nation.
Trump had roughly the same # of votes nationwide as Romney in 12...the difference is CLinton got far less votes than Obama had.
Nobody who voted for Obama in 12 or 08 voted for Trump in 16...so Biden just has to get those voters back...and I know for a fact several voters who are Republican and voted for Trump by holding their nose in 16 will be voting for Biden this year because they know how terrible of a leader Trump has been.
We'll have to see all these factors come into play. Like I said before in order for Biden to win, he has to get everybody that voted for Clinton and more. To beat a sitting President is no easy task.
There was no way Trump could've beaten Clinton if she was seeking re-election. It's very difficult to beat a sitting president because there is a group of people that votes for the same person in office.
I'll say it again, in order for Biden to beat Trump. He has to have all of Clinton's voters and flip 10% of Trump's voters. It's that simple.
What makes people think that Biden can win simply taking every Democrat vote? In case anyone remembers 2016, Clinton had huge support from women and minorities but it wasn't enough. Because 2/3 of white males voted for Trump. Unless Biden can figure out how to take 10% of Trump's voters, he's won't beat Trump who is also an incumbent sitting President. History has always favored the sitting President and very few times they lost. It would have to be a really bad President and a very good challenger. That is why Bill Clinton was able to beat George H. Bush. He is younger and more articulate than Bush. But Biden is both older and not as articulate as Trump in debates.
The Democratic party is already known as the anti-working-person party; has been for years. They lost middle class, working class voters in droves and it cost them the election last time. They have also been known as the pro-criminal party for years. They have cemented that image to an even greater extent this time. Now, they are also known as the divisive, race-baiting, anti-white party-and one with an accused rapist as their candidate. That will cost them big in the women's vote, especially white women.
