    A crowd here and there of 35,000 isn’t nearly enough. It needs to be crowds of hundreds of thousands in hundreds of places at once. And the only way you get there is a massive increase in faith that the elected Democrats will actually do something. This performance (because I will concede that it’s just a performance) is exactly the kind of act that increases that faith.

      The bigger crowds have to start somewhere, amd this is a good start. Many people see crowds like that, and the next opportunity they get, they go, too. Also, people who have been told that MOST Americans are hard-right MAGA Nazis, see crowds like that, and start to realize they’re being lied to.
