After that -189% hit it has taken since 2016, these two percent are really needed and appreciated
Thousands isn't a lot
Its enough to cover the field beneath the washington monument. Plus, it was cold out.
Lmao should have gone out to vote champs
Ya know, are you certain these are the people that didn’t? For all we know, they did and this is them continuing to fight. I haven’t polled them either way. I’m just playing devils advocate.
Saturday's People's March in Washington DC drew smaller numbers than its predecessors.
Organisers had expected 50,000 people. About 5,000 turned up.
Sounds like the voters did show up in the same numbers at the voting booth and at the rallies.
It's hard to stay outraged so long... IDK how the magaz do it
Can't afford to show up when cost of living is up 50%

and here's the entire problem right here expressed in 2 sentences with the entire liberal political movement.
the organizers are much more interested in optics than DOING THE FUCKING WORK TO GET LIBERALS IN OFFICE. these assholes right here are the ones that think just showing up is what matters. they think that not being objectively cruel just to be cruel is the only reason to vote for democrats.
you can take this protest and $2 and maybe you can get a drink at a fast food place for all the good it's going to do the country the next 4 years. instead of marching, chanting, and holding signs the protest organizers would have been a whole lot fucking better off taking the time to organize a toothless white guilt relieving performance act and used it to organize and coordinate local aid societies that will be directly affected by the trump administration.
To be fair it was kind of cold out.
Chumps*
Good job, everybody!
I'm sure they all voted for the most effective/competitive means a of avoiding him. If so, party on.
