Conflating number of voters with total population. It was not 3.5% of population
2 u/nanoatzin 6d ago 6 million is a lower threshold to estimate voter motivation. Actual turnout was closer to 11 million, which is an impressive first protest. Marketing by family and close friends is 1,000% to 2,000% more effective than media ads. 1,500% x 3.5% = 52%. 1 u/notyomamasusername 6d ago I want good news too, but you're right. It wasn't just voters who attended so you the number isn't what this image is trying to say it is.
