It’s inspiring and hopeful. Thank God for these two along with all who are attending. Keep it up. Let’s get more and more Democrats out there doing the same. Let’s rock their world and get them out!!

There are at least 105 House Democrats out there holding rallies and town halls, and almost every House and Senate Democrat will be participating in an event over the next 2 weeks, but the number of them that will get national coverage that you will hear about will be 0!!!---Jason

Rachel Maddow has been showing them. Hopefully soon they will be too big, too often, and too overwhelming to be ignored. For instance, massive protests outside Social Security offices would be very hard to ignore.

I know. The absence of the media is the reason why some people are still saying, "Why aren't the Democrats doing anything?" If we are going to have a fascist country, then we need to destroy FOX and the other right-wing media that do nothing but spread lies and misinformation.

Too late for that sadly it is already the country’s official State sponsored official propaganda outlet- which MAGA zealots never question the truth of. Why do you think Trump is trying so furiously to silence the free press, the autonomy of our Universities under the guise of bogus “antisemitism?” For heaven’s sake he supported the Charlottesville march by skin head KKK members and Elons Nazi salutes! How gullible can people be?

I am so disappointed in the news media bending the knee to Trump. They will be paid back when we get through this mess. We have long memories and scruples. They are mushy titty babies. Start looking for a job you can honestly do. You are dead to the masses!

Sadly our country has the memory of a goldfish ( no insult to goldfish). How else do you explain the mainstream belief that Trump cares about university fake “antisemitism “ to gain control over what we teach our youth pre-textually, while he previously supported the KKK and skinhead march in Charlottesville and Elon’s Nazi salutes? How gullible are people and forgetful of what happened last week.

National news is all billionaire owned. But many of us are getting our news elsewhere, and we are seeing and hearing them!

Our country must hear this outcry, Ppl must participate! We must save our country as we know it. It is such an outrage that prominent legal firms, famous universities would ever capitulate to the orange ball! He folds when slightly confronted. Why isn’t the media doing its job?did all those ppl who gave their lives for our country do so in vain? It’s terrifying!

I am so excited about what Bernie and AOC together are demonstrating to the rest of us who cannot attend, to Congress, to the trump administration, and to the media! We distrust, we reject, government run by billionaires. We don’t accept the values reflected by the rich and famous.

Trump will come up with another false claim as to why so many people attended. It's so infuriating as the MAGAs believe him

We wouldn’t be in this mess if people hadn’t turned against Hillary for Bernie. Hate against Hillary gave us Trump.

Hillary is an AIPAC bought politician and a warmonger for Israel- one the candidates I regret having voted for the most. Who knows what other special interests have controlled her besides Israel… we need to get ALL big $ out of politics- listen to what Bernie is saying in this regard! The Democrats and the Republicans have all mostly been bought by special interests- they serve their billionaire donors- we are today an oligarchy already.

If the Dems had committed to an open, honest primary, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
