What you're implying is that people shouldn't bother protesting unless it achieves something tangible? @vininim

no not at all I'm questioning how such a thing can be gauged as a "success".

Colossal turnout, Trump irritation, show of force to people who think women should have less rights

personally I would class success of a protest as having an effect such as forcing a change.

That's not how politics works. Result can be change later on, or prevention of something happening

I know how politics work. Marching has little effect on driving change. Look at student fees, stop the war

&the continuous protests outside U.K. Parliament. They effected zero change. Protest rarely moves politics

I think you're being simplistic. Politics moves by the will of the people. We encourage each other.

I don't think I am. If marching worked it would be used to push for every cause for political change and It isn't.

It's not 'marching.' Its consistently, visibly opposing the erosion of liberal, secular democracy. In many forms.
