I posted a link to Charles M. Blow's New York Times editorial "The Most Dangerous Negro" on my Facebook page with the comment:
"I won't remonstrate if you don't demonstrate,
but I will if you don't put down the remote and vote!"
This was considering that demonstrations sometimes have a better turnout than the elections.
In other words, demonstrate if you will, don't demonstrate if choose not to, but be sure to vote if you demonstrated for a cause. My take on voting turnout in state after state is that many will sign petitions or show up at a demonstration, but their number too often far exceeds the votes actually cast in support of that cause.
