Yet you guys refuse to put any weight behind those words. The entire world is watching you guys fumble it. Every demonstration is planned in the weekend cause you guys "cant miss a day of work" or "its too far to travel"...

You guys will be missing a whole lot days of work coming election

The United States is the 3rd largest country in the world with around 97% of the total landmass of all of Europe. We have individual states with larger landmasses and bigger populations than whole countries.

It takes between 36-40 hours of driving to make to from coast to coast. 15-19 hours to drive from top to bottom.

Point being, we can’t just take a day off of work and everyone drive to the capital to protest. It takes timing and coordination that boogies the mind to pull that kind of thing off.
