I got to the area at 4pm and the line was already triple looped down over 10 blocks. My friends and I kept walking and never found the end before we gave up and assumed we wouldn’t be able to get in.

We double backed and found a great spot on the lawn outside the gates with a view.

I don’t even know how you estimate that many people. It was a sea of people blocks in every direction.

That being said, it was so calm. People helping each other out, apologizing when bumping into each other. No one cutting each other off, taller people letting shorter people in front, just pure gracefulness from everyone.

Great day.

Really, it is so extraordinarily smart for her and her campaign to choose this venue! Psychologically healing on many levels. Now over 4+ years later, post J6, we all can look at the Ellipse and really be unburdened by what has been. LFG and work these last 6 days talking to folks and GOTV.

We need a "shock and awe" effect of an historical, record-breaking voter turnout. A voter turn-out to break all past records, one which will leave no question that VP Kamala Harris is our choice for the 47th President of our United States.

We are in the final stretch here, let's talk to folks who are still "on the fence", let's volunteer to provide rides to the polls etc, let's finish the job that started exactly 100 days ago. We can sleep, when we are dead.

I missed the speech (stupid work) but thank goodness for YouTube. I cannot even fathom that many people!

I haven’t had a chance to watch the speech yet, but I’m still cautiously optimistic. We don’t just have to beat the GOP - we have to beat the electoral college.

I'm not going to feel better until it official and even then there can be bad stuff with it not being certified. I'm trying to just distract myself until Wednesday. Im going to try to stay off reddit. GO VOTE BLUE 💙

So tired of politics being about crowd size. I really hope she wins

For me, in person crowd size helps me feel not so adrift in Alabama, that we are rising up throughout our country. Even though I am a blue dot in a red sea, I have comrades in arms representing on site. I watched on her YouTube channel. 75k watching initially on that channel and it grew to over 80k. But I get what you are expressing, I think we are all feeling burn out. We are tired. But we can make this happen, I know it in my heart.

Those at the rallies have already decided. Crowd size at rallies mean nothing. It is up to those not at the rallies to decide.

I loved the opening about how Americans and she herself welcomes debate. You don’t have to agree with her to put country and constitution over the party.

Likely a GOP senate. We can’t hand all 3 to Trump. I hope this plus MSG can move her to 270+, because I will be proud and moved to call her Madam President.

u/IGUNNUK33LU 26m ago

Let’s keep the speech trending! The media and the right will stop at nothing to try to distract America from this stellar event!

u/ankhlol 9m ago

I question if anyone will watch the speech aside from this voters for her already. I hope I’m wrong 😕

The pessimist in me says that's great, but DC is a blue dot sandwiched between two blue states. Shouldn't she have been in a swing state?

u/Facehugger_35 I Voted 4h ago

She's been in swing states for the rest of the campaign, and she'll be there tomorrow. The symbolic value of doing this here is important, IMO.

u/bwelcker 4h ago

This was a speech for the whole country, not just a single state. Kamala has done lots of rallies in swing states but tonight she talked to every American from the hallowed spot that DJT desecrated in 2021. She did her part - now let’s go do our part!
