What does it say when "American Spring" gets more attention here than "Moral Monday"?

I changed the title due to lack of interest.
The original title was, "‘Moral Monday’ protesters return to Raleigh quietly, but outspoken"
And yesterday DU ignored the chance to watch a live feed to the Moral Monday protest. We are talking about the front lines in the war with the GOP, but we would rather mock the dismal turnout for American Spring.
sad.. Below you can see pictures of (get this!) REAL liberal/progressives walking their talk.

RALEIGH Demonstrators trying to raise a ruckus about the North Carolina legislature’s swing to the political right put tape across their mouths and paraded quietly through the statehouse Monday.

Days after the Legislative Services Commission changed the rules for North Carolina’s Legislative Building, demonstrators who sang, chanted and protested loudly last year changed their tactics, too.

Protesters were still outspoken outside about the effects of policies and laws adopted last year, when Republicans wielded power from both legislative chambers and the governor’s office.

But inside the building where those laws were made, protesters marched two by two in an eerie silence through the facility and out the back door toward Halifax Mall. There was no civil disobedience.

Capitol police estimated the crowd to include about 1,500 people. NAACP representatives put the crowd size closer to 5,000.
