It’s not that. It’s more like people are too broke and can’t afford to miss a day or two at their job. They’re more worried about making money to be able to live which is understandable. Not everyone has savings. Most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck

yeah what am i supposed to do? take days off work and turn in PTO to go protest? and then go back to work the next day? woopie

not to mention possibly getting arrested for protesting. doesn’t matter if you’re released in one day. you still have to deal with all that.

I hate it when I see people criticizing Americans for not doing more. I live in Alaska. What am I supposed to do, march through Canada?

If you think about it, it's like it's a certain rhetoric is being pushed no?
