I'm not surprised it feels that way in a liberal city, but we elsewhere in the United States really do look at numbers from your large protests as a litmus of general disatisfaction and willingness to act. People are still taking about the collective size of the first round of protests that happened.
Anyway, I went last Saturday and handed out tiny flyers with info on the gen strike. That felt productive.
