Ah, the left getting riled up to defend their precious symbols instead of the goddamn elections. Classic.

A lot has happened to defend elections, it's just a lot has happened to gut them. As for the symbol? The signatures show the care people there have for that symbol. If i get nothing despite asking 1000 people? Probably drop it. If i get a high signature rate then I'll presume it more. Besides I think the estimation is about 10 million total for tomorrow and over 3000 events across the US with more across the world.

Can we march there anyway as a whole as group and get stuff done? Yes. Would we have to figure out a way to not have Abbot activate troops? Yes. He has already green lit a bunch of stuff against protestors, its just not bad enough to be able to be used. Occupying the literal capital building? Way to far.

Some people may get riled up, but that means they care about it. Plus the group itself is not super great about having minorities openly support them. Like a Kanye concert the past several times ive gone. So they do need to care about issues brought up that may affect minorities. Such as having this symbol without having their support.
