I have to admit, Trump’s nicknames are hilarious. Sleepy Joe. Lol.
You should look at voter turnout for the most recent elections if you want an indication of how motivated particular demographics are. As for crowd sizes, the entire idea of a rally is idiotic. Why would anyone want to go stand in a crowd and cheer for a politician? At Commonwealth/Kroger you get to watch football. If Bernie or Trump or Biden say something relevant I can look it up online. Rallies are personality cult celebrity culture at it's worst. OMG you guys maybe Kim will ditch Kanye and get with Trump to MAGA!!

Lol at you thinking Trump hasn’t waxed Kim K.
Look, when Donald Trump comes to Richmond, KY, you go to the speedway and buy a maga flag, buy the expensive dip, and happily stand in a parking lot for hours with the rest of the town. And I do mean town. Population 30k, Trump Rally 20k. Winning. For America, you haters and losers.

Yeah, not my cup of tea. I can see a bunch of like minded ‘necks wanting to spend a day together worshipping their god, but that will never be me.
That's a Jewish slur!
...or it would be, if Biden was Jewish rather than Roman Catholic.
Yea because your ass would be kicked by the Red, White and Blue if you showed up.
I’ll never show up because I have priorities, a family, hobbies, and a thousand things I’d rather do than listen to a politician. Believe me, it’s not out of fear. ‘Necks are too nice to fight random people.
Should have been Creepy Joe though.

Thanks for giving us this textbook example of sour grapes.Biden can't draw but a handful of supporters to his rallies, while Trump has 20K in attendance regularly across America. If the roles were reversed, you would be saying, "look at all that support for Biden, Trump is going to get steamrolled in the upcoming elections!"
But the roles aren't reversed, and so you downplay the significance of all those people attending Trump's political rallies.
The personality types common to the left and right are just different in this regard. The leftist equivalent to a cheering Trump rally goer is a slogan chanting Women's March participant. Huge crowds in vagina hats or MAGA hats, so glad the intricacies of our political discourse can be neatly distilled into head wear form...

Wow the SJWs have broke YouTube now.
I came across this Buzzfeed article about millennials having trouble affording houses, and wouldn't you know that every last individual whose story they picked to highlight in this article has some virtue-signalling thing to say about being "privileged" enough to own a house while their peers are unable to afford a house, and the "plight" of young people today in general. It's actually quite hilarious.
I pulled these examples just scrolling up the page on the article (remember, these are separate people being quoted):
"I definitely notice my privilege when I recount how easy it was to accumulate wealth....I think real estate is an easy way to accumulate wealth, but it's only available to a small amount of people. I think about our quick and easy wealth accumulation all the time."
"The thought would run through my head when I first bought — "Oh, I'm now a land-owning white man, if this were a different era I'd be able to vote" — and yeah, that's a very stupid and gross thought."
"I think the actual transmission of wealth should mostly be banned, actually. We should chuck the whole mortgage interest tax deduction scam, prohibit lenders from borrowing to people in the areas that are going to be underwater due to climate change, institute an extremely large (up to 99.5%) inheritance tax on the Jeff Bezoses of the world, and support and nurture affordable cooperatively owned and financed housing. Also, we should get rid of local property taxes, ensure all schools are good, and recognize that the entire "wealth" generated through housing is just another word for profiteering off of racism."
"I think being from a suburb where most people owned their homes had a big impact on my expectations [of home ownership]. I'm sure being white has had a huge impact, one that I was never aware of growing up."
"I also feel guilty because my family's relative wealth is the only thing enabling me to buy a house. I have a bit of money saved (a couple thousand), which is more than most of my friends my age...but nowhere near enough to buy a house. I am well aware that most of my friends and peers will not be able to buy a house and definitely not one as expensive as mine any time in the near future. So I feel bad for complaining about stuff to them. I wish other people (especially older generations) would understand that I shouldn't have to feel this much guilt and fear over something that should be considered a normal step in growing up. My dad owned his first house right out of college. And his parents were definitely not rich. I wish other people would look at how hard millennials are working just to break even; moving in with their parents, delaying having kids, working three jobs, paying off mountains of student loan debt. We're doing all the things you guys told us we had to do! And the economy still sucks, and we still can't find jobs."
My query: Where are the millennials who are working even 1 job? The ones I know are extremely employment-averse.
It's not that hard to get 1 job in this economy that will sustain you. If you have 2 or 3 jobs and you can't save a penny, either you made poor decisions to put yourself behind the financial 8-ball (including getting a 4-year liberal arts degree or similar), or you live too lavish of a lifestyle.
Will a millennial please stand up and defend themselves on this topic, and tell us what you think of the people being quoted in this article?

Did it go backwards? Boom! Still way up dufus.
I’m not a millennial and don’t have an answer for you, but how would someone work 3 jobs? There are 168 hours in a week. Working 3 jobs would occupy 120 of those, not including getting to and from said jobs. Call that another 7 hours. That leaves 41 hours in 7 days to eat, sleep, shower, etc. doesn’t seem feasible.
They have 3 jobs, each of which are 10 hours per week = 30 hours per week.
OH, THE HORROR!

Hey front runner, Joe or sleepy Joe that is, is going to need a body double like Hillary had. You think you might be up for it
OMFG, Batman! The next Great Depression has arrived!
He hopes. He celebrates Maher hoping for a depression. Like that would ever touch Maher.

I don't know. Might to need to ask someone who lived during an Obama economy.
Obama broke this country
Why would anyone do that though? There are literally millions of full time jobs open right now. Why work 3x10 when you can work 1x40?
Hey, I haven't been unemployed since 1989. Thanks, Trump!
You went to work at 13 or 14?
I got my first job in June of 1989 stocking shelves at the local IGA for $4.15 per hour. I was 14.
I figured you worked at Elsinore with Brewmeister Smith.

Too old for John Podesta
I remember him creeping the back room for targets, but none were young enough for him. We sent him to the daycare across the street.
I've never heard of either guy in this tweet. How many people are famous simply due to tweeting political bullshit as a job?
Votes cast and voter turnout aren't remotely the same. I agree turnout should be an indicator. But votes cast sadly is the better
I feel in the future we'll get a sleepy creepy joe, compound nickname
Same. Carryout. Taught me a ton. Way more valuable than the 4.25 wage. That's what entry level jobs are meant for
