58. Thank you, those are much better numbers than 425,000 vs 4,000,000

And one should also take into account, when comparing attendance, that Oakland sits smack in the middle of a sprawling, almost 50 year old, heavily used subway system, and that traffic in general is not as bad in the Bay Area (though it's bad, it's not LA-bad).

I'd say it's reasonable to expect around 2X the turnout in Downtown LA over Downtown Oakland ... to be roughly equivalent.

That's all I'm saying

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
