That's funny, I have no recollection of arguing anything along those lines. I seem to remember being fairly outspoken about a need for people to stop coming to D.C. for every fucking symbolic protest and instead do more organizing and rabble-rousing locally. People outside of Washington, DC write off protests in DC (when they make the news) as being a standard feature of what happens in Washington, DC on a regular basis.
