It’s been obvious for decades that Democrats try and perennially fail to court voters who hate them. This represents mainstream Dem thinking. My real takeaway is that the Democrat party will not save us. They don’t even understand what the problem is.

Not if the Democrats don’t get extremely serious about creating meaningful resistance. Because right now their most visible message is complaining that their constituents want them to try literally anything.

I believe the GoPro guy was "Volunteer visual reporter Nate Ashby."

This is their claim today. "... isn’t here to push a conservative or liberal agenda—our newsroom includes a range of perspectives, and we strive to cover the full spectrum of news. Yes, we once focused more on conservative topics, but limiting coverage to one side isn’t real journalism"

The man with the mounted GoPro appears at 0:09 of this video. It wouldn't surprise me if the first guy I saw was the named person who provided (and presumably filmed) this footage. The YouTube account & website is a right-leaning group. youtu.be/q6pm7Z46mcE?...

I listened to about 45 minutes of Rep Rick Larsen‘s (D-Boeing) phone town hall yesterday. He seemed in no way alarmed or especially concerned about anything going on. He recommended we “call the White House” to voice complaints.

In #Bellingham for the continued #50501 protest in front of the federal building. Pretty good turnout. Maybe 300 people on the sidewalks. Lots of supportive (I think) honks from cars.

All in all, the protest today was fine, but meager. Nothing compared to the Women’s March after Trump’s first inauguration. People seem very angry online but it remains to be seen if that becomes tangible, effective actions.

At the #WA capitol in #Olympia for #5051 #protest. Fair turnout for short notice. About 2,000 people on the capitol steps. Nearly all normal folks with homemade signs. Wide age range. Maybe 20 state cops in small groups. A handful of kids in bloc. Pretty good for short notice.
