I think the lead brained boomers are a lost cause.

The group to convince are the unengaged or those that just vote a certain way without putting much thought.

At least in my city we are fortunate that the government buildings are located at a key intersection. Weekdays we usually just get heckled by lead brained boomers. Weekends there are way more cars, a more diverse audience, and more support in general.

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.

The other third isn't paying attention and will celebrate anyway

I still cannot fathom why they scheduled on a weekday for the next one. If you want turnout schedule for the weekends.

I know people should go out regardless, but they have bills to pay. A lot of people can't afford to miss a shift and vacation time is far too limited

Be more considerate, allow them to at least cup their hands first . Then they at least have something to sip on

That's the house, and only because it was a bill passed back to the house, after previous passage, to review senate revisions. Otherwise they would have been allowed to debate much more if this was the first time the house had the bill.

I mean yeah, dying in a war isn't high on my list of activities. The only way to fix this will probably be armed conflict, but I don't see you starting the revolution right now either

How lame, I hope the people of Alaska aren't dumb enough to vote for her again.

Or at least if we have elections again
