Interesting conversation...
But I have disagreements with Mr. Wolff's claim that the only effective national protest march is one single event in DC.
Well, looking at how we little people have to live in this environment, he should rethink his stance. I hope yesterday will show him he's off base on that. So, things he is ignoring in his stance are that it is...
a. Expensive to travel to DC, including lodging and meals, many millions of us who would love to be there simply can't which defeats the idea that we are united across the country.
b. Time; many millions of us cannot afford the time off to travel to DC to march in his idea of the only effective march.
c. Practical organizing proves him incorrect since many more millions were able to express their objections yesterday than could have by limiting the march to DC.
I have often disagreed with Mr. Wolff on several occasions and this is probably the most asinine thing I've heard from him.
