They were expecting tens of thousands (40,000 by one count) - which was the estimate hyped by the protest organizers. They got a few thousands (“more than 2,000”). The police were probably over-prepared, less threatened, and therefore less reactionary. It seems like the protesters behaved themselves pretty well, although that’s not always a guarantee against police brutality.
If Biden hadn’t stepped down, it might have been 40k protestors…
Kamala isn’t perfect, and we won’t know what she’s really like till she’s in office.
But she’s at least open to a dialog instead of siccing police on protestors and telling Dems that don’t like her to vote for trump if they don’t want to vote for her.
I think a lot of people just don’t realize how much Biden was hurting the party.
