  • No need to come at me, the fact of the matter is the majority of people won’t take time. I take the time, but most won’t. If you want the biggest impact you’ll always draw the largest crowds on a weekend.

    I don’t disagree with you I’m just being pragmatic. A protest of 1,500 is a bigger deal than a protest of 200. That’s the typical difference in my city with weekend vs weekday protests




  • It just simply won’t have the same turnout. Frankly I think weekend protests are more visible since the average person is more likely to be out and about and not at their job.

    I think making the people see it and then you pressure the politicians. The politicians don’t give a fuck if thousands of people are gathered outside a building.

    I attend my local protests and take the time off to do so. The last no kings protests pulled well over 1,000. Other weekend protests typically pull around 300 - 400 people. Weekday protests typically pull barely 100, if we’re lucky 150 people. It just has less impact.











  • We actually did, his name was Franklin D. Roosevelt.

    Sure if we hold him up to today’s standards not a progressive by any means, but he campaigned on working class issues and helped steer the country out of the depression. He created virtually all our modern safety nets or their predecessors.

    He was so popular a president that Congress amended the constitution to ensure no other president could have more than 2 terms. He was so popular congress was afraid it threatened the power of their branch of government.

    Running on and actually accomplishing worker centric policy works.

    And to fend of the inevitable yes he was not that progressive by today’s measures and had a mountain of flaws. But his accomplishments were revolutionary for the country in his time.
