Its hard to build a large protest using just reddit. You really need large organizations to get behind you, MoveOn, Unions, A.N.S.W.E.R, but all of these groups are of course very quiet because its a democrat in the white house doing this.
If Romney or Bush were in charge, I think the protests would be much greater.
- jlgaddis 13y agoYeah, the last one[0] really had a crappy turnout. We only got enough people together here to fill two buses and travel ~800 miles one way to attend. It wasn't just Reddit, of course, and obviously it had a couple of fairly well-known media personalities promoting it but the majority of the organizing and attendees I saw was because of Reddit.

- utnick 13y agoYes the initial idea may have started on reddit, but then comedy central, moveon, afl-cio, and other large democratic groups started promoting it and thats when it got big. If those groups don't hop on, your just not going to have a big in-person protest. And the eff is the only group I have seen promoting this
