Liberal media lives behind paywalls more than right-wing. Because corp America wants to get out the right wing messages. Few want to get out the liberal messages.

Which is especially sad because poor liberal people can't afford the pay walls. So liberal messages are inherently in shadows.

Protesters that are more aggressive and are not of the middle class and above don't make political contributions and are more likely to be disenfranchised from voting.

So politicians watch the feel-good protests a lot more closely than the smaller aggressive protests.

This is from the small Capitol of a purple state. If you multiply our numbers by the ratio of our population to NYC, we had a much bigger crowd.

TBF-- Richmond is extremely blue, we voted 85+% for last couple Dem Presidents, at least. Dem before that for years, not sure %

You know. I know. But they are still listening to MagaMedia. They won't feel it until the bills come in, or their emergency trip to their local medical center is met with a closed sign. By then, it will be too late for our off year Governor election. Perhaps they can help stop things by next year.

She does. She'll get over 85% of the vote here in Richmond for sure. Close to that in NoVa.

The question is the rural areas. They may not be hit hard enough before the election.

Free Palestine is integral to Richmond Va protests. We've had featured speakers and they get just as much universal applause as ACLU and immigration speakers and everyone else.
