Single event. Yesterday had many smaller events. The largest crowd reported by the media as of earlier this am was about 50,000. The media has since increased some estimates, but still none near the Jan 2017 rallies.
They guy is vying for the position of #1 AMT troll. Thankfully, I have an open space on my ignore list which I am about to happily fill. Less trolling, more space. Life is good!
Someone disagrees with your politics and they are a troll? Why the fuck are liberals continually allowed to break the rules here, but others get booted?
For your information I ran AI on that rally size comment this morning before I made it.
if you understand how to read …I was referring to single rally size. anyone paying attention to news reports yesterday and watched the wide angle reports, there were no rallies nearly the size of the protest in 2017. It was clear as day.
If you count the pride parade, Boston was comparable lol. 200k in LA is stunning considering what that city is going thru.
But go ahead attack people or ignore them, because you can’t understand how to reach the middle.
per AI,
Los Angeles: Over 200,000 according to organizers.
New York City: Multiple hundreds of thousands in New York, with "tens of thousands" reported by Fox 5 New York and over 50,000 according to New York Post sources.
Boston: Officials reported 1 million people in downtown Boston, but this included those attending pride festivities.
Philadelphia: Over 80,000 people, with organizers stating over 100,000 attendees.
Seattle: Over 70,000 people, according to city officials.
Chicago: 75,000 according to organizers, while police said closer to 15,000.

are you sure you are not just angry that since your red hat transformation finished, the red hats are losing the war of popular opinion?
look at the pictures of all of the events vs your boy's parade. trump is right to be embarrassed. another own goal for him. he expected hundreds of thousands to show up to support him, and in true trump fashion, he overestimated the interest in him and the love for him.

So as many or more than overall, but on a singular location probably less (no link provided).
I think you may be extrapolating what you want to from this and that’s fine. We all need to cope.

Yes, they had over 2000 events, so a few thousand per event? /s
I watched the news yesterday looking for a comparable event to 2017 or any historical rally. Didn’t see it and ai agreed this morning ny time.
To me, there was a reason they had so many locations. They wanted it easier for people to participate. In 2017 the hate for 47 was so palpable, it seemed millions were willing to drive hours to the handful of rallies then.
and look at how gimme and Brian handle my comments. They respond with personal hatred, which is against the rules, and demonstrates trump is turning them into him. I observed the rallies, read the news, ran ai, and formulated an opinion. For that I am maga lol.
i know to win elections that matter dems need to reach the middle. That’s my reason for posting here.
I’d argue that a decisive swath of “the middle” votes on vibes and it has less to do with extreme aspects of the two parties positions (I mean, clearly based on how last year went) and more to do with a finger in the air when it comes time to vote.
Again, no need to move further right, offer something of substance.

the dems should not move further right. they have been doing that for decades just for the sake of compromise. just for once the fucking gop needs to meet us where we are on one issue. just once.
this is why i agree with david hogg that some of these old heads in party leadership need to leave for the good of the country.

I think the democrats and republicans would do well to work together. But in order to do that, we need to have a republican party like we used to, not the MAGA / pro-authoritarian party we have now.

It’s not because of dissenting views. Those are plentiful around here, and the troll moniker is only reserved for a select few.
It’s because no matter the turnout, you would have found reason to shit on why the left is stupid.
I mean, it means nothing to you that trump’s turnout was incredibly smaller than the no kings rallies.
That doesn’t matter to you. You are too hell bent on being right about how terrible the left is. Trump’s approval ratings don’t matter to you, cuz dems have no message. It goes on and on. The goal posts have been moved too many times to count.
It’s fine. Keep shitting on the left. Not many here care to listen to it anymore. And I know you think that makes you some kind of unheard genius. And it’s ok that you think junk that. Just like it’s ok that we all know better.

I take issues with this and some of the other major media news coverage of the No Kind protests and call bullshit and here's why:
Of the photos in that AP photo essay (which I saw last night along with others), 14 of them show peaceful protest and 11 show confrontation, violence, or the results of confrontation or violence. That comes to 44% of the photos illustrating confrontation, violence, or the results of confrontation or violence.
That is misleading, sensationalist bullshit. It does not properly reflect the widely peaceful nature of the protests yesterday. Some MAGA supporters, of course, claim that there was a lot of violence in the protests, but that's simply not true. If you read widely, attended one of the protests yourself, and/or talked to other people in various parts of the country who participated, you will know they were very much mostly peaceful.
Who here who participated in a protest yesterday saw 44% of what went on to involve confrontation and/or violence? I was given the finger a dozen times maybe. That's the ONLY confrontation I witnessed, and I live in a very red city.

This is at best the cringiest Pearl Jam lyric application, at worst real insight to how certain posters see liberals
From what I saw on the news, I thought the turnout was pretty good. It doesn’t matter that it doesn’t compare to 2017 protests, you’re still getting 1-2% of the population to give up a Saturday to protest, when half the population won’t even vote when we have mail ballots.
