Nothing screams 'power to the people' like a crowd where the people are mostly… one people.

June 2025 was about 4 to 6 million and October was 5 to 7 million.


That 3.5% threshold is just a magical theory. It does not have any basis in reality. You can cherry pick all sorts of conclusions based upon selective interpretations of data. This is threshold is not a scientific law of nature and it should be treated with skepticism.


It’s a theory for sure. Not sure why you say it’s magical though. The point is that once a large enough percentage of the population objects, then those in power take notice and tend to adjust accordingly.

It’s not unreasonable to expect that Congress will realize that Trump is not the only master and that Americans want the constitution to be adhered to.

Which really shouldn’t even be something any American needs to protest for. But here we are.


That's not actually the theory though. The theory is in regard to participation in a general strike. Getting 3.5% of Americans to show up to a park to scream into the void will not inspire Congress to suddenly give AF.

Whereas getting 3.5% of Americans to stop spending money and showing up to work would bring the country and the economy to a halt. THAT is what would make Congress possibly start doing their jobs.

Poster protests do not scare those in power. An economic stoppage would. But Americans are a selfish and cowardly people. Posters give boomer white women the feeling of activism without having to actually do something of consequence.

The majority of Boomer women, including Boomer white woman, did not support Trump in 2024. We tried and we will try again in the mid terms and in 2028. Save your whining for the fools that put Trump in office.

I’ll say it - it needs to be more like the J6 Neanderthals. They get the attention because they don’t just sit around with signs. It needs to get physical, it needs to have people looking at it. It needs to be huge.


Sure it needs intensity, but not by acting like Neandethals.

And your snarking on the internet does even less. The rest of us will be out there trying to do something.

Proof? Because I'm pretty sure white women did in fact support Trump, in 2016, 2020, and 2024.

My snarking will have literally the same affect—none at all. Yours is worse because you'll tell yourself you did something rather than, you know, actually doing something.

You’re being a tad condescending. And the demographics of participants is surprisingly broad.

A general strike would definitely be more effective than just a march and it would have to be sustained over a period of time. Agree completely that that feels unlikely right now.

But would still suggest that the people who go out to protest will also definitely go out to vote and organize to GOTV more broadly. Congress can’t completely ignore that reality. The GOP is already starting to freak out about the midterms.

Go back to Moscow, troll.


I'm on your side genius. I find it frustrating watching you all waste what time and energy you do have on performative BS when there's real work to be done.

But yes, very creative calling anyone who doesn't sycophantically mirror your every thought and opinion troll. Grow up.

It’s pretty consistent that white women who was educated up to high school voted for Trump. White women who graduated college did not vote for Trump. It’s not as simple as all whites or all blacks.

What “real work” are you doing? All I see is you trying to convince people not to act.
