DC numbers does not ignore it was held in other cities. Otherwise how would there be a 1.2-2.0 million estimate when 800,000 was for DC. If it ignored others, the total estimate would be just 800,000, since that was DC.

Thus brings back my point. How can we even remotely trust the 1.2-2.0 million estimate when in the biggest march, the estimate is inflated by 4x? Let alone 1.2-2.0 million is a HUGE gap. What ever happened to a small margin of error. The margin of error is huge.

The 10% point is to point out how this march was supposed to be about kids standing up. That would be like saying million man march should have only been comprised of 16% blacks, since that is the breakout population wise. Or the Womens march should have comprised of only 50% females.

The point of those marches were for blacks and women, and thus the people marching comprised of them. This march was touted as kids across America standing up for gun laws. We then find out that whatever the number of marchers, only 10% were kids.

Who said the March for our Lives was supposed to comprise of mostly people under 18?  I didn't see that on their website, their mission statement, their directives, etc....   It was open for anybody and everybody who wanted universal, comprehensive background checks, bringing the ATF into the 21st century with a digitized, searchable database, funds for the Center for Disease Control to research the gun violence epidemic in America, high-capacity magazine ban and an assault weapons ban.

Did you assume it was supposed to be mostly people under 18? 

But again....that whataboutism.

All of the media has been talking about the kids and this march and putting them together. They are using the kids to their benefit to try and say, look at what the kids want, to try and guilt adults into following. You have to be blind to not see that.

Whataboutism that you started. You said so yourself, that you brought up Trumps rally numbers. Clearly you were trying to prove that the "right" always lies about their numbers. I brought in another example that shows the "left" lies too.

So if your going to bitch about anyone whataboutism, try and not be the one to start the train.
