Tempe AZ right now with Bernie and AOC at stadium!

We never made it to parking! There must be 20,000 people there! Doors opened 2 hours ago and we think maybe 10,000 still outside in the longest lines I’ve ever seen! This better make the news! Bernie and AOC must be on fire!

This is 3 blocks away, 2 hours after doors opened. That is a looping line going down 3 blocks from the stadium entry, then it loops back on inside of sidewalk. There are 3 entry points surrounding stadium. Each is like this!

Local news nothing online. Social media for largest news AZ Central shared good video on Threads but I won’t link here to Threads. We picked up estimate 15k capacity in stadium, 5k capacity overflow area AND thousands outside who never made it in. Bernie and AOC came all the way outside to speak afterwards to remaining crowd. I am still betting all local news will downplay it and those videos on Threads won’t be published online tomorrow. I am sure my guess was pretty good - 15k to 20k or more.

@meganL Oh thank you so much! I am so bummed not to have gotten in. But my heart has joy because seeing there must be 20,000 there feels damn good.

@meganL Bernie still talking - 8 pm here. Crowd very mixed ages and types of people. Very very enthusiastic crowd.

@cobalt123 It was on the Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell on #msnbc

@cobalt123 They’ve been talking about it coming up for at least two days that I know of on MSNBC.

@cobalt123 Can confirm. Tons of people!!! We were close, but eventually gave up. Amazing turnout!

@cobalt123

I just saw a clip of AOC walking in on her Instagram. Big crowd!

@davepolaschek Ohhhhhh! I am so happy about this. Sending to my granddaughter who is 23 and lives 5 miles south of here but never heard it was going to happen! She’s not listening to news but may be around Fox News on occasion.
