BRILLIANT. JEEVES! Get that down!
AZ has a Dem Governor and both senators are Dems. In 2020 Biden won the state. To call AZ red is a bit disingenuous, especially Tucson which is one of the three major metro areas. Tucson area, Phoenix area, and Flagstaff area are pretty politically opposed to rural AZ. It’s not a solid blue state, but it’s not a red state anymore either. It’s a swing state but with few electoral votes it typically gets ignored.
What's sad is there should have been 100k people in each separate metro area across the country regardless of following a politician.
What was it? Serbia.... 125k in the street over a train station accident...?
The train station was just the straw that broke the camel's back.
And you need to consider that the entire US society is architected to keep Americans isolated from each other - from keeping people moving around on their little metal cages, to promoting suburban little castles with grass moats as "the dream", to the destruction of third spaces - so 20k people getting out of their bubble and showing up in every city is impressive.
Man Lemmy is getting as bad as reddit was with the cynicsm. Literally every article of people gathering or doing anything is met with a smug "yeah but it's not enough", with posters continuing to justify sitting at home and spreading their attitude even further. You ever wonder if this pervasive attitude is part of the problem?
Yeah but it's not a station accident. It's just that Republicans are taking away healthcare from veterans, children, millions of americans, cutting food aid to starving nations, turning all of our former allied nations against us, making air travel dangerous, allowing multibillionaire robber barons to give themselves government contracts, dissolving the department of education, leaving old people who paid into social security their entire lives die alone and uncared for because their checks stop coming, etc.
But not a train station accident.
What is the key message at these rallies?
What actions can be taken to stop oligarchy?
where were they when it was time to vote
They probably were the ones that voted. 23,000 seems like a lot of people, and it is for an event. That's only about 0.2% of the population of Arizona.
