    That’s… kind of sad. There’s like dozens of people in those pictures. Honestly, no surprise media doesn’t report it, I’ve seen barbecues with higher attendance. Americans need to do a lot better.

        I think so, but look at the protests in Serbia (or south Korea recently, or France every other month since the invention of the baguette), or basically any other country… and look at the pictures of protests in the US. The difference is remarkable.

          Non Americans only viewing American politics from the lens of a democracy that cares about what the people say or think is surprising ignorant.

          Sorry Americans don’t want to suicide by cop or make their families homeless to make your feel better. Californians can’t just take a week off work to trek to the capital to hold up a meaningless sign so you feel a little better. If our government was ever worried about a protest everyone would leave in a bodybag or to a black site. There is no chance of it accomplishing anything and your sheer ignorance of American geography is ironically very American.
