In reply to the discussion: Photos: Biggest political event in Idaho history we think. 12,500 in Nampa [View all]BumRushDaShow
(172,367 posts)9. Apparently they are posting a lot of the video on Instagram and Facebook
and I don't do either (and they don't embed on DU). But here was Cory Booker and Mark Kelly yesterday AZ (YouTube) -
Maxwell Frost - a rising star Millennial - was at an event over the weekend -
Remember that the Democratic party is a "big tent" but we need to "spread the love". Everyone can go around the country instead of all gathering at one place following Bernie and AOC around.
On a related note - here is one that I just stumbled on is being done by STATE Democratic elected officials - this one in Iowa, holding Town Halls in red districts in their state -
Apparently other state Democratic party elected officials are doing similar in their states.
And as a further note, many in Congress have been speaking at the "Hands Off!" events around the country. I know the event here in Philly featured several Philly members of Congress including Brendan Boyle and Madeleine Dean in front of crowds of tens of thousands.
Some of us post the videos of these events and they get yawns, with little or no reaction.
ETA - Hakeem Jeffries is scheduled for a "Save Social Security" Town Hall today - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/save-social-security-town-hall-meeting-tickets-1319440454919

OP
"It appears to me that, as usual, Democrats are still acting like free agents, each with their own direction and agenda.

It's one thing having a lot of blowhard "rhetoric" hurled against certain demographics to stoke their "base"

It's all of it all at once all the time. We are being thrown back close to 150 years, imo...

Many of their rallies are being shown on news stations, not just being uploaded by the attendees.

I missed that but it's so true we have no "national" media. That's only one of the big problems we have
