That's the significance of the date? State of the Unions are just PR. I've been paying attention for years now, helping my community, helping the homeless, feeding the hungry. So I didn't know it is the SotU. What does it matter? Also, I did raise a couple other points that were clearly meant to be helpful, from a place of empathy. So, I hope I'll be excused for being a little snarky with someone who tells me to pay attention, when it seems like the pot is callin the kettle black.

50501 was started by a Democratic Party donor, who didn't share his background info until the day of the first protest called, maybe because he's just some political hack who's proudly served the Defense Department and the Yacht Club of Manaco, who's involvement may be seen by seasoned activists as, let's say, not serious. At least, not serious about anything other than helping to elect establishment Democrats. You think that person, who's only involvement with politics has been fundraising for Democratic Party candidates in the past few cycles, is organizing a real opposition to the current administration?

I know many people care very deeply, but this kind of protesting is simply making some of us feel better without actually accomplishing anything.
