    nah that one is real sometimes. if all the 50501 dorks could afford to go to DC they’d get much more done, even if by accident, and you can’t really compare us to more compact countries where meaningful numbers of people can actually gather in one place.

    100 people in a thousand cities each is nothing. even if only half of them can make it, 50,000 people in one place is way more valuable.

      The Palestine protests, especially early on, had estimates that were putting us at ~150k in attendance. The streets of DC were flooded.

      There was a complete loop spanning multiple blocks around the white house.

      Every news article listed it as “thousands in attendance”.

      Thats if they even reported it lol
