Up until now, Democrats have dismissed the significance of big rallies -- meaning, President Trump's -- saying they had nothing to do with the extent to which voters will be motivated to turn out.

They had Joe Biden's election in the bag, after all. What did they need large campaign rallies for? It was the same deal with Kamala Harris, whose campaign rallies in 2024 were held inside to make them look bigger than President Trump's massive rallies. Rally size, see, didn't matter.

Until they got a big rally of their own, featuring Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, their side's two most open socialists, at a gathering in Denver.

Now they're claiming a massive groundswell of voters rising up against President Trump.

Just one problem: It looks like astroturf. Get a load of what GPS data has found:

I had no idea crowd size could be so technologically estimated using cell phones, which most of them have.

Not only was it not the claimed 34,000, but other data also found that 84% of them had been to nine or more past leftist rallies, meaning they were the same old baying rent-a-mob that didn't win the elections in 2020 (without cheating) or 2024 (which was too big to cheat).

All this comes against other data showing that Democrats are on the outs -- a 27% approval rating that is continuing to fall and that public support has held pretty strongly in favor of President Trump, with huge numbers reporting to pollsters that the country is finally moving in the right direction.

While it's true that Sanders represents an upstart wing of the Democrats, it should be noted that Democrats cheated Bernie of his victories in past primaries through the miracle of rigging to keep him off the ticket. They won't let him on, and what's more, Bernie just let them do it.

They are promoting AOC, though, as the big party savior:

It's laughable. Big changes are happening, and neither Bernie nor AOC can make heads nor tails of it:

All they are offering is their baying rage against Trump; the locomotive is already rolling.

Now, they claim to have big crowds at rallies. They probably have all the supporters they're ever going to get. And with data analysis, people know it, they can't spin the press to see a shift in public opinion; there is no groundswell, just angry, raging leftists yelling in one place.

It's just plain pathetic.
