This isn’t a class based issue as much as it’s people saying they are tired of a car dominated culture, I don’t know how you don’t see that

Tired of car dominated culture? You are far too online. Normal folks love that a car takes you exactly from point A to point B in air conditioning privately. That's just objectively more comfortable than using a bike or public transit for most trips.

Even these advocates only do so as a hobby. 90%+ I can guarantee have vehicles they use daily.

They only do so as a hobby because it's unsafe to do so otherwise... which is why they're protesting

Congrats to you and your “normal folks.” But most of us in D.C actually don’t want to drive in traffic everywhere and would be perfectly happy to walk, bike or take the train if it was safe and reliable. Hence why people are doing movements like this.
