    We are blaming you for the fact that we’re not seeing protests every day…

    This is just not possible and the rich are banking on that. It would have to become much much worse before people will risk their own employment, access to medical benefits, and personal security so that we can march.

    It’s easy to suggest those things but in reality it’s just not going to happen.

      People in far worse circumstances than Americans got out in the streets and forced change.

      The time to act is now, not in the future when they’re even more entrenched.

          Isn’t the whole point of the states that they basically operate like a bunch of smaller countries? You don’t have to protest enough to budge the feds, you just need to protest enough to remind your state that they can and should stand up against the feds.
