    The left makes fun of Trump for bragging about crowd size. Can we not do this please? I don’t give a shit about the size of your rally; what are you going to actually do to take the country back from oligarchs?

      No, the making fun is when he pretends to have the largest crowd that has ever gathered.

      No one says that crowd size is unimportant or without impact.

      Can you not do this please? I don’t give a shit about what you think about the size of rallies; and are you really trying to apply arbitrary tolerance policies onto the very people who are attending rallies and showing their frustration about what’s happening?

      How is it possible to be so fucking stupid?

          I’m fairly certain I’ve encountered one in the last week. Not going to name names, but the conversation thread was fucking weird.

      I think the important difference is that they actually compared it to other crowd sizes that (may or may not, I haven’t looked) actually were smaller, like “largest in Denver” and “larger than the DNC”

      Versus just claiming something then have it be demonstrably false, “I have the biggest crowd in the history of the world” or something along those lines

      The important part is the organization, and showing there are people that can/will do something, then we can figure out what to do next
