If you right click on the imgur link and then click "copy video link", you can make the link more direct. You can use that to embed the video in the body text with ![alt text describing the video](copied video link ending with .mp4)

which will look like

Firefox? Clearing cookies usually solves it for me, or try opening on a private tab

Had fun at our local march. Should’ve brought earplugs, though. Neat to see so many people acting in solidarity, and I hope we can keep up this energy.

Edit: anyone see any vandalism? I saw some spray paint on the upper floor of a restaurant, but literally nothing else.

As a Canadian watching in horror, is this going to change anything?

I can't imagine it doing much. I guess people felt good that they aren't alone, but Republicans will continue to ignore the Constitution, and the apathetic majority will probably continue to not vote.

Probably not. It makes the Americans feel good though.

Woulda been nice if they all voted.

Assuming they are all from Illinois, it wouldn't have mattered. That state already voted blue. Gotta live the electoral college

This many people could easily just physically remove the criminals from office. Why gather this many people to just stand around for complaining? You’re already there. Just fix the problem.

tRump and his regime wanted a scuffle. They wanted violence. They wanted an excuse. DC was intentionally avoided for this reason. That city was a ghost town, as expected, and I think it sent a bigger message than a bunch of people storming the capital...again.
