May 3 2025 coastal CA rally Appx 3500. US Rep Ted Lieu came. ABC Local news reported. We wondered though: How is this helping? I think trump rallies helped him a lot. So I think uniting and showing resistance alerts the elected officials. What do u think?

The mass mobilozation is very good. We are also seeing people start to focus on need for strategic organizing on priority targets. So all street orotests are impt visibility action. But need focused actions too…leading grouos must meet… a national strike at some point but we aren’t there yet.

This isn't proof but anecdotally Bernie and Trump had a lot of crossover appeal as interest in anti-establishment politicians rose, especially amongst disaffected young white men who were seeing the door to the American dream shrinking for them everyday. Not making an excuse, because there is no excuse for this. I hope white women who diverged from their spouse at the ballot box are doing their part to make sure these men, especially wealthy, educated and supremacy-feminist white men, understand their complicity in this.

Thanks for this. Question, how do we know that disaffected DJT voters attended the Bernie/AOC rallies? So great if verifiable.
