Bernie's Auburn Rally moved to Folsom to accommodate larger crowd

Folks, we are heading to Folsom tonight...

🎶 I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars
Well, I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
But those people keep a-movin', and that's what tortures me 🎶

Between 10,000 and 15,000 people are expected to attend the Sacramento-area stop of Sanders’ ‘Fighting Oligarchy’ tour, which will take place at Folsom Lake College’s athletic track, located at 10 College Parkway in Folsom. Doors open at 3:30 p.m. and speeches begin at 6 p.m. The Northern California event was moved from Auburn to Folsom Lake College to accommodate a larger crowd, according to organizers. “Parking is going to be challenging,” said Kristy Hart, Communications and Public Information Officer for Folsom Lake College. “People should expect to do a little bit of walking to get into the venue.” Parking on the Folsom Lake College campus will be limited and organizers recommend taking public transit, carpooling or ridesharing if possible.

That’s when they should have been out in large numbers.

It’s too late now.

The anti-Musk, anti-billionaire movement is just gathering steam.

Trump will need to build even more concentration camps.

It is obvious that people in every part of the country (See Nampa, ID) want to be heard. There should be a dozen Dems with name recognition out hosting events every night. As they say, "build it and they will come". It started with Kamala. People want to voice their grievances and have someone listen. They will show up given the chance.

It is going to take a mass popular movement to stop tRump. It is imperative that large numbers turn out this coming Saturday. I know people will be out in Nampa and Kalispell. Text, call and badger everyone you know and tell them to be in the streets on Saturday.

And if tRump wants a parade on his birthday, We the People should give him one. Put a million people in the streets of DC and we will find out who really holds the power in America. There won't be a parade. It will be the American Bastille Day.

That is all
