(4,341 posts)53. Oh, another one...I shouldn't but I am going to answer your remark, without sarcasm.
1. I live very far from DC, very far
2. My point, which is hard to understand for a couple of people here is that if they had announced it properly more people would have shown up. Maybe they did announce it, I don't live in DC, as I said, I live far, but I would have liked to see a massive demonstration.
I do understand a comment from someone here that, in fact, it is hard for a lot of people to attend due to Dr. appointments, not being able to get away from their jobs, etc. but I feel that if they had announced it properly that more people would have ventured to show up, just like they did when they parked at Moscow-Mitch's office.

No, I am not, but I also didn't know they would be there and I am many miles away from DC.

Thats my point. We were young. Now it is mostly young Hong Kongers in the front lines.

I've been there three times to protest. I'm in my 70's but don't care if I camp out there. Not now.

The REAL protest will be at the ballot box. Marching is cathartic but wont remove anyone.
