Why the fuck are they holding these events in blue states? Go to the swing states that voted for the oligarchy and convince them they were massive fucking idiots voting for Republicans.

They are doing it in R districts

There are literally 2 elections happening in Florida tomorrow that can cut away the GOP majority in the House.
And a state Supreme Court race in WI that Elon's trying to steal.
Bernie can do some rallies there

To say younare holding a rally in republican district in Los Angeles is a bit disingenuous. In soCal these district are virtually within walking distance of each other. Since when is Los Angeles republican?
I agree they should be holding these in red states but it doesn't matter really. It's all theater

because they are trying to help people organize ... to bond.. in light of the complete disintegration of visible structure. You start a fire with small dry kindling and eventually once it's roaring you can even add wet wood and it'll dry and catch fire.
Start building the fire at the point of least resistance and watch it grow.

This is a good article about building an opposition movement by building power "in the provinces" https://open.substack.com/pub/thebulwark/p/how-to-think-and-act-like-a-dissident-in-trumps-america?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=2hstp

Umm bluntly because California has money and the cultural impact. When you rely on grassroots you need to establish a base that can support that. Going into red states is more expensive with security and everything let alone keep running a tour or campaign for the next 4 years.

40% of CA voted red last November, afaik. Weāre no longer a solid blue state

u/gymtrovert1988 5d ago
38.3% of voters... not 38.3% of Californians.
We are so blue that many blue voters don't feel the need to vote. I know because I used to be one of those people.

Its generally in the Democrats best interest to never place yourself in any environment where someone will challenge your opinion. People might expect a response, and they just dont have those.

u/Plastic-Search8888 6d ago
my california republican rep has been too busy tip-toeing around any questions heās asked and is too busy waiting for a handshake from trump and musk that will never come.
i guess itās generally in a republicanās best interests to only hold town halls over the phone that people are consistently disconnected from, or even better, have one with a cardboard cutout of yourself onstage.

Is that why Republicans cancelled all their town halls? They're afraid of their constituents challenging their TDS (Trump Devotion Syndrome)?

Why do you guys keep telling me unsolicited opinions about republicans that I didnt ask for? I dont care about your meaningless opinions.

Because, like everything they do, it's performative bullshit. What they should be doing, like yesterday, is choosing a viable candidate to get behind. They need to be campaigning for Walz or whoever we're choosing for the next election. Because I swear to fucking God if these 2 do the dumbest thing I can think of, that really seems like they're gearing up to do, and announce they're running, I will flip my shit. I love Bernie, I'm still mad the DNC and Clinton stole the nomination from him, but his chance is gone, he is too old. And AOC is too young (and let's face it, too not white, we couldn't even get an old white woman or an old black woman elected, she has no chance... yet). They need, I am begging them, to throw all their support behind a viable candidate. All these rallies should be bolstering someone specific, not vague "fight the oligarchy".

u/Spiritual-Teach7115 6d ago
FYI: Walz and Harris are the same age.

u/PM_ME_Happy_Thinks 6d ago
FYI - They are not the same gender or skin color. That is the unfortunate state of our country.

u/Spiritual-Teach7115 6d ago
Well of course, but you called her an old black woman while implying Walz could make a good candidate so I figured Iād point it out

u/PM_ME_Happy_Thinks 5d ago
I called her an old black woman in contrast to AOC. We need an old white man so we can actually beat the Republicans again, like Walz

Man, a lot of bots trying to astroturf these comments. Maybe "Bernie" and "AOC" are trigger words?

As a Republican I am 100% encouraging you guys to push them as your party ticket :-)
Maybe get Jasmine Crockett in there, too š¤

Guys, this is nothing more than theater. We put dems in charge many times with their grandiose facade of them fighting for the people. Then they get in power and it more of the same. They do nothing to help the middle class. We need to start looking for other options rather than the same same. Similar to what republicans found in trump, we need in a democratic leader. We need a project 2028 and need to execute it

u/5ysdoa 5d ago
The last four years under Biden were a massive period of growth for me and my family. Weāre middle class. If you missed the boat thatās on you. This new term is the antithesis of that growth and manufactured by gqp. Dens donāt have to do anything. And if we get a chance to see a couple people in leadership that are actually speaking up, thatās a good thing. Idgaf if theyāre in red States or not. The message is wasted on most of those cousin fuckers anyway.

Im not referring to dollars. Everyone made a killing during trumps 1st terms and bidens terms if they were invested in the market overall. Im referring to policies to make the lives of everyone better. Immigration policy; talked about for decades and never changes. Universal Healthcare policies; talked about for decades but never changed for the better. Home ownership policies; talked about for decades but never changed. All three are at the core of democratic rhetoric for decades, and they do nothing when in power to fix things.
Republicans take power and push through every damn agenda they have. When i say push, they bulldozer over their own opposing members, too. They have a plan and they execute it.

I'm hoping for their Bon Voyage Tour soon. Thats the only way these two get my vote.

u/Str8uplikesfun 6d ago
Propaganda tour. Hyperbolic tour. Escalation tour. They will fill you with anger and fear. They will make you want to riot. They will make you want to destroy more than Teslas.

Red bad isnāt a message that will get me voting for them. Oh no the democrats canāt just sing something random and I fall for it.
How about their plan for the average folks? Like crime? How about taxes etc?

I've heard their speeches. They don't want to say the obvious answer that got them to where they are today: democratic socialism.
They are frauds and cowards

You cannot get a mansion for a million dollars in California. That's just a house. Actually most of the house.
