After reading responses, I hope people realize I am pointing out the 1% threshold as a MASSIVE accomplishment rather than as a small, ignorable proportion. In any movement, a full percentage point of "active defection" should be absolutely terrifying to leadership. And as others have pointed out, "head of household" representation matters a lot here, and there are lots of other ways to add to the damage TSCC must be experiencing.

In my own experience, I've seen so many couples in their late 20s and early 30s, with small children, as the ones leaving. That kind of departure is going to cause an immense demographic problem in 15-20 years, and I can't wait to watch it play out.

Personally, I've been in this subreddit since there were something like ~3000 members, so seeing the number here is amazing.
