Well, it could have been a Joe Biden 2020 rally or a Hillary 2016 rally. A few clicks and Hillary's crowd was reduced by 99%!!

A heartbroken mom has been left devastated after no one showed up to her daughter's third birthday party.
Gloria, who does not disclose her full name, had planned a Minnie Mouse-themed gettogether for daughter Daleyza.
The family had festooned their backyard in Modesto, California, with pink balloons, glistening streamers and enough chairs to seat up to 20 guests.
Gloria took to TikTok to vent her frustrations after not a single person arrived - but things eventually started looking up.
In the 18-second clip, Gloria panned the camera around the backyard to show off the themed décor which had a table of treats as the centerpiece.
She had also set up three dining tables flanked by at least 20 folding chairs for guests - all of which remained empty.
The clip concluded with a heart-wrenching shot of her daughter jumping up and down with a single adult companion in a Minnie Mouse-patterned moon bounce.
Gloria overlaid text on the desolate scene which read: 'My baby turned three and no one came to her party. I cooked and made a bunch of pastries.

Here is my take on it.
When I was this child's age, and yes I remember it we did have birthday parties. Usually they were kids on the street we played with every day. Maybe about 5 kids showed up 10 if you were lucky. Certainly not 20 people unless it was relatives.
However I do remember one when I was 4. A girl in my nursery school invited the whole class and most of the kids did show up. I remember burgers and fries were served and I loved the fries.
Grown ups would let us drink all the Pepsi we wanted and back then it had real sugar in it not like today so you know we were bouncing all over the place.
There were no blow up bouncy houses back then. We played other children's games like duck duck goose and tag.
Thing is I know we had parties that young. So why is no one showing up? Are people just rude? Is Mom inviting the wrong people? What is it?
These stories are so weird. Why even put in the newspaper? I feel bad for the kid but I remember growing up and when I was a little kid maybe some relatives would show up and a few kids I actually played with (maybe 2 or 3 kids)
As I understand it, constant virtue signalling is mandatory in many areas of California, particularly the more affluent communities.
Maybe they didn't have one of those "In This House, We Believe..." signs in their front yard.
Your friends are pretty likely to show up.
If you invite virtual strangers, they probably won’t show up.
People these days tend not to have friends. They have “connections” on social media. Those people don’t care about you.
I don’t know about the kid but the mother appears crazy.
New & Improved: Play the VICTIM Card & Acting Out yr grief.
Old & Busted: Being THANKFUL for what you’ve got & moving on.
Nothing about invites or confirmed replies. I don’t need this. Most moms would love to take their kids to one. Combines babysitting with socializing.
Perhaps if she wasn’t SUING everyone around her, she’d have better luck.
(I have no clue either way, but this is California we’re talking about)

Bingo. Airing her sob story on Tik Tok is a sure sign.
perhaps they are boycotting the Disney Groomers (tm)
Newspapers suck and are now getting material off of TikTok and other social media sites to generate attention for themselves.
Clown world.
TikTok clout.
“So why is no one showing up? ... What is it?”
Disney. Grooming.
3 yr olds don’t know to beg parents to go, this is on the parents.
Now she knows these parents don’t care for her.
Move on. Big world.
When in doubt, request: R.S.V.P.
It’s surprising that the poor kid even was given one. Most parents don’t even bother anymore.
Next time, try using rsvp.
That one went right by me! Even the bouncy house was Disney. Something I’d never do for my kid! No wonder people stayed away!
