Conservative and independent protesters channeling themes from the presidential campaigns of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders dumped faux contributions into Boston Harbor on Friday, one of some 30 demonstrations planned across the country against big money in politics.

In Washington, about a dozen members of a more liberal group called Democracy Spring cuffed themselves inside the Capitol rotunda in a protest of the influence of special interests in U.S. politics and to denounce laws making it more difficult to vote.

The Democracy Spring demonstration followed the arrest of hundreds at events all week including a sit-in protest on the steps of the Capitol, the seat of the U.S. Congress.

Both the weeklong protests in Washington and Friday’s nationwide demonstrations led by the activist group Represent.Us have tapped into some of the voter frustration seen on the presidential campaign trail.

7. From what I heard on NPR

…just now Trump supporters were not even mentioned. Not sure, they'r really even there. Rather, it's 40 national liberal groups demonstrating for voting rights, criminal justice reform, money out of politics, health care and other causes.

800 arrests. (Unlike what happened day after day in Oregon when those Rightwing nuts took over Malheur.)

8. So it;s ok to

dump trash in the harbor?

dumped faux contributions into Boston Harbor

That's really showing those climate change-denying over financed putzes... we'll dump this trash in the harbor to show we really mean it.

Because when rethuglizards use trash cans that proves that they are environmentally conscience. Right.
