In reply to the discussion: There is no more “News” media: 100,000 people protested on Saturday, and we never heard about it. [View all]ConservativeDemocrat
(2,720 posts)Seriously, people. The media's job is to get people to watch things that are enjoyable to as many people as possible so they can stick advertisements next to them and hope people watch those too. A big controversial protest march isn't that.
If any of those 100k people wanted to be actually effective, they'd stop preaching to the choir, and instead be knocking doors of people who they might be able to change minds about.
But see, that takes work. And it isn't comfortable. You end up talking to a lot of Republicans. And hostile people, many who can be Democrats.
However it does work. It bypasses all the media filters. And it takes work. So Knock Doors if you want to change things. If you don't, just keep whining about conspiracy theories.
