I see where you are coming from. It’s like there’s three factors here:
the amount it will influence global policy makers as a function of location
the amount of locals who will show up as a function of location
the amount of people who would travel a long distance to show up as a function of location
I agree DC makes sense for the first function. I don’t really know too much about global policy makers, but I guess lots of important ones hang out in DC?
As for the second function, I think it probably is higher in SF than DC, though I’m not that confident about that and you are correct to point out, that isn’t necessarily the most important thing, since most of the people for a 100,000 person march will need to have travelled to get there. So from that perspective, the third function is much more important. What location is most likely to cause people to travel to it...
So I can only conclude… we should actually not all march on DC, but some pleasant vacation destination known to be popular with affluent people… that will really draw in the fence sitters! Well… I’m mostly joking about that. It probably messes up the first function, which is still basically the whole point of holding a march.
