Too bad they didn't do it when it counted. On election day.
There were less than 6m at yesterdays protest, in a country of 340m+. Its very likely everyone protesting who was able to vote, voted.
Those numbers feel wrong.
I took the numbers from the US cencus and tried my best to cross check for number of people @ No Kings. I couldn't find any source that claimed above 5 mil. If you want to go by people who voted instead of population, I still have strong doubt's that out of the 150m who voted, that the 6m at the protests (those of which who COULD vote, remember minors and noncitizens can't vote.) didnt vote.
The U.S. census does protest counts?
Do I really have to explain that the cencus is where I got the 340m population from or did you skim read my response and missed the part right after where I said "tried my best to cross check for number of people @ No Kings. I couldn't find any source that claimed above 5 mil"?
I misread it :/
Sorry I wasn't trying to be an ass, just been having a shitty week. Hope u have a great day :)
