Murican: our country is to big to organize

[–] moncharleskey@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

India has a population density of 1264 people per square mile, and the US has 96. With the same density, that would give the US 4.6 billion people. With the current population, you would need 17.5 million people in the streets to match this, but to build that kind of momentum is difficult when your largest city has 8.5 million, and the next, at 3.9 million, is over 2000 miles away.

if you guys were half as good defending your civil rights as you are making excuses, the whole world would be a better place

I bet attacking people on the internet makes the world a better place. Some people love to act like things are black and white, and you seem to be one of those people.
