  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

There still is a great deal of enthusiasm for Harris - rally in Greensboro, NC

Her entrace is at 4:30:



17,000 were there. In North Carolina.

Check out the line:
Wow, 17,000 people is a lot. Huge crowd sizes compared to Trump or other politicians in September 2024.

Crowd sizes for Harris average 13,400, while for Trump, crowd sizes average around 5,600, according to Harvard University, so one can say Harris rallies are more popular to go to. Sadly, crowd sizes for my favorite 3rd party candidate are pretty much zero, cos the third party never gets any limelight.

I don't trust the numbers given by Harvard University. There are more than a few examples of rallies for Donald Trump filling up and overflowing arenas.

That is true as well. I do like to trust Harvard, as they are Ivy League, but yes, there were times Trump overflowed arenas, hence why these values are an average. If one rally had say hypothetically 50,000 people, but the other 9 were only hypothetically 1000 people, then the average would be 5,100 people.

Trump had much bigger crowds than Biden prior to his 2020 loss.

A contingent of Trump fans were very rah rah rally goers. Biden never had that. But We The People preferred Biden overall. So did the Electoral College.

I dont put much stock in crowd sizes.

I do not put much stock in crowd sizes either, as more people prefer to be online, streaming or indoors in the 2020s compared to back in the 2010s and before, as more social media and streaming technology exists now.

If crowd size mattered, Taylor Swift would be our next president.

Haha, who knows, what would happen if Swift actually ran for president? We already had a TV entertainer for president from 2017-2021, so would a musician be different?

8 years of Ronald Reagan, don't forget.

As for a musician, maybe I'll throw my name in the hat. Imagine all the amazing musicians I could invite over to jam! But, most of all, I get to hire my own chef.

Ronald Reagan was a musician and actor as well. You are a musician? Have you published any of your songs? A personal chef would be nice for all of us, cos I have a disdain for doing dishes.

Enthusiam = campaign donations and campaign volunteers both of which are fueling an extensive ground operation in the swing states.
Yep. Harris raied $47 million in 24 hours after the debate ended.
In the 6 weeks or so she has been running, thousands and thousands of volunteers have signed up.

Crowd size is also a function of venue size and location. Either one could probably have no trouble filling a 20,000 seat venue in a large city, but neither would get that many people into a Mariott conference room in Enid, OK.

It is amazing what a couple million dollars can do for a campaign - like bussing in your own enthusiastic crowd.

Is it still Soros paying them or do we have a new evil Billionaire funding them? I can’t keep up anymore.
