Whoever told you 3.5% of the people protesting is some magic number for social change, lied to you.
@jonathankoren Why didn't he just say that then?
*looks Mekka directly in the eyes in a fake-serious manner*
Why do you want to know? What do you think he meant? Be honest
@drdrowland @jonathankoren Honestly, I'm used to Mekka speaking highly obliquely as a rhetorical device to generate conversation. Being this wasn't one of those posts, it threw my dumb ass into a strange place where I was looking for context after spending a day struggling with people who never miss a chance to punch down at marchers.
One choice quote was "they might as well be Republicans".
I know Mekka's a good guy and does this for a living. I'm just a guy who has trouble with subtext tho.
