Big rallies are hiw you get people engaged. Engaged people become voters. Biden would have how big ass rally's like Obama if there hadn't been a pandemic going on.

Big rallies turned Bernie Sanders from an unknown senator from an unknown state into one of the most well-known figures in America

What question? Biden was more electable then Sanders. He also had moved to the left economically meaning many progressives didn't feel the need to vote for Saturdays because Biden had already shifted left.

Ya, biden was more electable in 2020. He also moved to the left on many economic issues.

Had he kept his promise sbd never planned to run in 24, we would still hace the white house

Because enough people thought Hillary was more electable in 2016, despite all evidence to the contrary

Yes,they DSA plays purity politics. It's useless

... because I understand that because of all the costs associated with holding a rally it can potentially cost more for commercial flights especially if they're late I have abandoned anti-capitalist values? This is why no one takes you people seriously

09.05.2025 16:56 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

.... I'm sorry how is it not time sensitive? You have to rent the space. You have to hire vendors and security. You have to pay cops salaries. That means if the event runs long it's going to massively increase costs. Come on this is basically sticks

Oh people really fucking care when those cost Skyrocket because of timetable issues.

Yeah you tend to become a millionaire when you're in New York Times bestselling author. Turns out his message really connected with people and they bought his book. I mean when you're only faults for him seem to be that he's not living like a Franciscan monk well advocating for Progressive politics

Sounds like you don't know much about them because you just posted the public sticker price which is almost always negotiated down by signing longer-term contracts. Now I want you to think about how much it costs to host an event like a rally. How many millions of dollars.

09.05.2025 16:22 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

... how much do you know about the charter flight industry?

Like how much do you know about renting a charter plane?

09.05.2025 16:11 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

From a logistical standpoint there's not any difference. The only difference is the desired outcome of the event

Why do you constantly have to be disingenuous? She was a guest not the host. She was invited to speak she didn't plan the whole thing. Literally every point you've made has been a half truth. I choose my wording very carefully. I'm aware she's attended rallies. She never hosted one

09.05.2025 16:08 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Considering I keep sticking to my points about basic Logistics of large events like this and you have to constantly do non sequiturs and move the goal post? I'm pretty confident in my wisdom. You do not understand the logistical reasons why every presidential campaign does this.

What? I'm not the one who started this thread. I worked in corporate Logistics I fully understand why events like this use charter flights over commercial flights. Literally the only person who should be targeted on this as Donald Trump because he literally owns a private jet

I'm very clearly older than you. You've also spent this entire time being incredibly disingenuous. Rather than just accepting the reality of basic logistics. Why do you think every presidential campaign uses charter flights?

09.05.2025 16:03 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 1

So when was the last time she hosted a rally campaign?

The Democratic party is sitting at 25% approval rating mostly because their own voter base sees them as doing nothing to meaningfully opposed trump. These rallies are keeping those voters engaged and making them feel like something is being done. Trump does most of his stuff through EO

You're correct but it's been pretty well established how effective these rallies are at Gathering support

Usually have a very tight schedule to keep with these events. Remember he has to rent the space as well as pay for all of the security and set up staff. You have to rent transportation from the airport. There's the fact you have to respect the time of all the attendance. Not to mention other stops

It's amazing how you refuse to even try and understand even the most basic questions of logistics. It doesn't matter what your political agenda is if you're doing a rally campaign charter flights is a more logistically sound option and as I've pointed out multiple times it can even be cheaper

... the man is going to be 89 at the next presidential election this is very obviously not to get him into the White House. I don't even have to reply with an insult like you had to stoop to. The idiocy of your own comment is enough of a demonstration of your poor qualities

They are absolutely not. You don't need constituents who always vote. You need to bring people in who don't vote or who stayed out of the last election.

Also the demographics of people who attend constituents meetings is basically board retirees. Last time I went to one I was the only one under 50

09.05.2025 05:11 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

No that's just called moving the goal post.

If you want to criticize politicians for excessive carbon use I'm all for it. It's just funny when it's only an issue for those you apparently oppose.

09.05.2025 05:10 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

So why haven't the Democrats gone behind a legislative agenda that has only grown more popular in the last 20 years especially with the demographics that they're losing the most? Young people and Working Class People.

And that's before I even point out that both of them have sponsored many now laws

Well Progressive beat you to the punch 20 years ago. The biggest structural issue in this country is wealth inequality. It's the one people respond to the most. Issues related to wealth inequality are the ones that have the biggest support. Maybe the Democrat should actually respond?

So you just gave me a list of house Democrats who have hosted open houses with constituents which I already said is way less effective then posting big rallies or engaging with alternative media. The people you need to convince do not go to constituency meetings. Have you ever been to one?

09.05.2025 04:42 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

People are dying. Starving to death all over the world. Being locked in concentration camps. Being dragged out of their homes by playing closed federal officers and being disappeared.

And yet you are so deranged that you can't even acknowledge a strategy that clearly worked.
