1. I HOPE SO.. An Excellent way to Bring on Change.. Mass

drives to the POLLS!

[Wounded Bear]

2. I don't know yet...

or have a good feel. If we're still getting demonstrations a year from now, I have hope.

I fear we'll have an OWS ending, which would be too bad. Meanwhile, I hope the current energy level at least helps Dems in Congress to stand up and fight. Wouldn't bother me much if a few red state congresscritters started looking over their shoulders, too, but that's a tall order. The coverage so far has been fairly good, but it's real easy to get the media off chasing some new shiny object.

The other thing is the organizing. If that happens and we grow the party with some folks willing to do the work, we'll have a shot.

3. Yes

but they'll stop working shortly thereafter.

4. I really think they will. These protests are often spontaneous and huge. Feels like the 1960s in

many ways. People are tired of the GOP lying and certainly don't want white supremacists in charge and are also fully aware that it's going to take a huge number of us to counter their voter suppression/voter purging efforts.

5. I do not believe so and honestly I think a lot of them are Stein voters and

folks who didn't vote because Bernie didn't get the nom.

Maybe that is cynical of me but protest, at least for me, gives me kind of a high or rush that needless to say local and state and congressional runs don't...those are like going to the dentist. This is why I am not rushing out to protest. Kudos to those that are, but my most paranoid state of mind thinks it wouldn't be beyond this evil admin to 'throw' a terrorist attack in a few days and then blame it on libs/protestors. Things are so insane right now nothing at all would surprise me.

7. .

16. +1000

[FLPanhandle]

6. Maybe I'm old and cynical but I don't think so.

Hope I'm wrong though!

8. Remember the demonstrations after the eelction?

Demonstrators hit the streets for a few days,
and then, feeling good, went home for some hot Chai tea.

[starshine00]

12. that is what I mean

it is such a high to protest but this admin is going to turn a deaf ear to it more than any other before it.

[Dem2]

9. Where's "They fucking better!" option?

[AleksS]

10. Yes, but for whom?

I absolutely hope they vote for candidates that will beat republicans.

A wave of "anti-establishment," "both parties are the same," "why vote for the lesser evil," "why vote GOP-lite," voters who help perpetuate republican control would be devastating.

Hopefully Trump is the clue-by-four that people needed to prove that the parties are not the same, and that the GOP must be stopped.

11. I wish you had the Option: "I DON'T KNOW"

cause that would be my choice.

[Chasstev365]

13. If there IS an election, yes!

[LeftInTX]

14. They may have an impact on the immigration ban

I think that is their goal.

[SticksnStones]

15. Folks who come out in the dead of winter to protest for hours on end

Don't strike me as being part of the subset of Americans who can't be bothered to vote.

Yes, they'll vote. I'd bet most are regular voters.

I think the question is will the people who are sitting at home watching these acts of defending democracy and the constitution...will THEY come out to vote?

Something big is happening...I pray it's good-big.

[yeoman6987]

17. Bingo! The 40 million who didn't vote are protesting? That's the question.

And it's critical to this poll and to our elections.

[Kingofalldems]

18. So why did you vote 'no' in the poll, yeoman6987?

[uponit7771]

21. +1, good point... its cold up north

[IMWITHHERR]

19. Doubtfull

I seriously doubt they will. I hope im wrong i just imagine they will fizzle out prior to then

[uponit7771]

20. The more important question is "will their attempts at voting being honored by having it count"

[pstokely]

22. did they vote 2 months ago?
