  1. I feel bad for all those kids being dragged to a clown show like this by their weird parents.

    Guarantee they’d all rather be literally anywhere else.

  2. Those poor kids need to touch grass and call CPS on their parents for whatever is going on at home.

    /s

  3. Crowd size only matters if it is followed by votes. Everyone needs to get their butts to the polls.

  4. Also- Kamala/Walz crowd looks like voting age. I wonder how many Trump crowds are filled with kids being brought by parents….

  5. I had to bleach my eyes after unfortunately catching that belly shot of the guy in the Jesus shirt at Trump’s rally.

  6. Not sure if it’s just a joke but I really don’t think crowd size matters. I’ll definitely be voting for her but they’d need to pay me more than 100 bucks to convince me to go to a rally.

  7. When I watched her speech yesterday, I just kept scanning the crowd all over. I saw all colors, I saw some disabled, I saw all kinds of people. And I kept thinking THIS is how America is SUPPOSED to look. You look at their crowd and you can just SEE the hate and anger in their eyes. We don’t look like that. We must all stay strong and vigilant and vote and help others vote, if they need a ride or whatever. God bless Harris and Walz, we are NOT going back.

  8. The absolute best part of the bottom photo is how quickly that group of thieves would turn on each other because of ideological purity. Lady in the mask? You’re first.

  9. The guy in the bottom left corner looks like he’s thinking the 10 bucks Trump campaign paid him to show up was not nearly enough.

  10. One person in there is intelligent enough to know he’s in an arena that is (barely) full of covidiots. However, still dumb enough to be there!

  11. Part of the crowd size matters issue that is relevant is the enthusiasm that comes from seeing others excited about voting. Group-think, several biases that I won’t get into and just the optimism of on party over another does affect voter turnout.

    Barack Obama’s team understood that. The Harris/Biden team understood that as well. Social media posts of the VP with a bunch of children hugging him, shots of him hunting, fishing and his days as a high school coach actually plays well with the electorate when seen over and over.

    Rallies work to get more to commit to turnout come voting season. This is also why mid-term elections aren’t as popular, since there’s not a lot of pomp and circumstance to energize voter turnout.

    I’m glad to see the Dems finally catching on to the psychology of mass movements again.

  12. Mask dude is protecting himself from accidentally inhaling any black air from Clayton Bigsby sitting in front of him.

  13. I like how Kamala’s crowds are just dressed like normal Americans on a typical day out and Trump crowd’s always wearing his weird merch.

  14. It’s astonishing how quickly the political landscape has shifted for the Democrats. I went from feeling anxious and uncertain to feeling hopeful and optimistic. This change has reignited my belief in a brighter future. So let’s make this optimism count – go out and vote, everyone!

  15. Most of the people in that lower picture aren’t even old enough to vote.

  16. The KAMALA with red, white, and blue coupling is design genius. It’ll be iconic, like the Obama hope image.

  17. It’s not the size of the crowd it’s how you use it, and in Trumps case he once tried to use a crowd to overthrow an election.

  18. What I find interesting, albeit muddied by crowd density, is the stark difference in social spacing/distancing in the two photos. In the first photo people of various and differing niches are sitting and standing shoulder to shoulder with one another while in the second photo it a sharp division between individual groups, notably the family sitting by themselves at the top of the photo and the women doing the same near the bottom.
    The differences in perceived human connection and isolation as seen between the two photos as a visual representation of the two party’s ideological stance… a picture says a thousand words..

  19. Oh yeah? Well Harris Walz don’t have white people in Blacks for Trump shirts !!!

  20. CC thieves are no joke, a year ago a CC robber hit my church parking lot and took 5. Including one from a 70 year old who was there to watch her grand daughters baptism

  21. How I desperately want to attend the MAGA event and shout out “how much did you get to come here?”.

  22. I still don’t understand why people are so hyped to go to political rallies.
    I just don’t get it…maybe I never will

  23. Top picture almost looks like a Norman Rockwell painting.
    You see not only the enthusiasm, but the pride too. What a great shot !
    This is America, and I too feel the joy.

  24. Most of the people in the Trump rally pic aren’t even eligible to vote.

  25. Of course, this doesn’t matter. But the fact that Trump will lose sleep over this is hilarious.

  26. Funny how you don’t need signs that say “Blacks for…” when you you have *actual* black people in the crowd
