Harris and Walz whip up crowd at packed Phoenix rally – but ‘we are the underdog’
Guardian ^ | Fri 9 Aug 2024 22.29 EDT | Cecilia Nowell

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz rallied a packed arena outside Phoenix, Arizona, on Friday – drawing perhaps the largest Democratic crowd of the election cycle this year.

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, her running mate and the local leaders who joined them on stage whipped up the crowd, discussing immigration, abortion rights and Indigenous sovereignty.

Noting the Indigenous leaders in the room, Harris also said: “I will always honor tribal sovereignty and respect tribal self-determination.” Indigenous voters are credited with helping deliver Arizona to Joe Biden in 2020; the state is home to 22 federally recognized tribes.

At one point during her speech, Harris was interrupted by protesters chanting “free, free Palestine” and other messages in support of Gaza. She stopped her speech to address the protesters.

“We’re here to fight for our democracy, which includes respecting the voices that I think we are hearing from. Let me just speak to that for a moment and then I’ll get back to the business at hand,” she said. “I have been clear: now is the time to get a ceasefire deal and get the hostage deal done. Now is the time. And the president and I are working around the clock every day to get that ceasefire deal done and bring the hostages home.” Her statement represented a noticeable change in tone from her approach to Gaza protesters in Detroit on Thursday.

Tribal sovereignty, is because of contracts tendered to them. GREAT. Remember the US Constitution, is that also not a contract. Why the fighting and smearing of INDIVIDUAL Sovereignty? Even from the Conservatives side, anyone who claims that We the People have Sovereign status over our Public Servants is a kook, dirtbag and dangerous radical.

Influencer click bait. No candidate is paying money to randos from Craigslist ads to fill their rallies. But anyone can make a Craigslist ad in a few minutes. Harris spoke in Glendale (Desert Diamond Arena), not at the Phoenix Convention Center. Brandon Tatum is a fraudster, but a lazy one.

No, she is not leading everywhere. The Real Clear averages are manipulated.

Why do you post here? DU awaits you.

Crowd sizes and all are fun to talk about. But that will not be the reason for someone to go out and vote. I know atleast a couple of people who have not voted in a long time and who are politically not active, who are going to vote for Trump.

They are not doing so because of the crowd sizes. They are doing so because of the issues. The final straw was when there was the attempt on Trump at the PA rally... after all the lawfare.

democrats are trying to steal their children and confuse them at a young age

That's hard to do when democrat parents are shoving their brats into the woke culture themselves. Democrats aren't fit to raise goldfish much less, children.

“Fifteen bucks an hour just to sit on your ass in an air-conditioned building in Phoneix in August is almost like getting three street tacos FREE!’

Fifteen bucks an hour for three hours for 15,000 paid attendees would only cost the their campaign $675,000.00.

Cheaper than buying national TV commercials.

Wanna bet the cost was charged to We the People instead of taken out of her war chest.

She is NOT eligible.

The DNC is evil. Please don’t make such accusations. You might as well accuse someone of devil worship.

AT these events you don’t count the people. You count the number charter buses parked outside somewhere nearby.

Nations hostile to The United States have told The Democrat Crime Families that they won’t be paid unless they whip up more people at Harris rallies.
