A recent rally in Denver, featuring U. S. Senator Bernie Sanders, aimed to convey strong anti-authoritarian and anti-oligarchy messages. However, analysis suggests the crowd numbers were manipulated, raising questions about the authenticity of support for the Democratic Party.
1. Propaganda Efforts: The Democratic Party is under pressure due to declining favorability ratings, leading to coordinated efforts to create a false sense of popularity through manufactured crowds at events.
2. Crowd Numbers Discrepancy: Sanders claimed 34,000 attendees at the rally, a figure unsupported by data. A detailed analysis revealed only 20,189 devices were registered, questioning the reported turnout in the media.
3. Bussed-in Activists: Many attendees reportedly had histories of participating in protests, including Antifa and BLM events, suggesting that a significant portion of the crowd may have been organized rather than genuinely spontaneous.
4. Data Analysis Methods: Analysis utilized GPS data from smartphones to understand crowd demographics and attendance history. 84% of the detected devices had attended prior events with notable leftist affiliations.
5. Funding and Organizational Ties: Several identified groups involved in rally attendance, like Rise & Resist and the Democratic Socialists of America, have connections to outside funding, including ActBlue and potentially USAID.
6. Timing of the Rally: The rally coincided with record-low favorability ratings for the Democratic Party, suggesting a calculated attempt to shift public opinion amid political challenges.
The Denver rally raises concerns about the authenticity of public support for the Democratic Party as it appears to utilize tactics of crowd manipulation and misinformation. This trend could indicate a broader strategy to rejuvenate the party's image during politically sensitive times. Counter-organizing efforts may emerge in response, emphasizing grassroots support for alternative political movements.
