I read that in addition to the 11,000 that packed Bernie and AOC's town hall in Colorado, an additional 1000 could not get in, and they had an online audience of 123,000.

My daughter was at the Bernie one in Denver yesterday. She had to stand outside the fence because it was so packed. I’m going to DC from OR for protest on April 5. We all need to do what we can!

Great turnout but still a pittance in an already Democratic state. When the online numbers are 1,230,000 I would feel more hopeful. And what is more important is getting similar numbers in GOP states like Iowa and Alabama and Montana. Then we probably have their attention.

Well, Tim Walz has been holding town halls in Iowa lately. There are some on Youtube if you are interested.

15000 in AZ and 34000 in Denver. AZ is at least purple and so are many parts of CO. 2500 turned up in Omaha on 2/24 with hundreds more outside. And that's right across the river from Council Bluffs, IA.

But again, Arizona is a state of almost 8 million people. A really of 15,000 is pretty anemic if you are trying to change the world. It's not even 1% of the voting population.

And, Linda, they weren't even paid unlike many attendees at DonOLD rallies. The big bonus is they didn't have to watch DonOLD dance
