I am completely loving that these ordinary people are getting up and speaking with great urgency and passion to a packed football stadium about their hopes and fears. CNN of course can’t be bothered to show them… it’s all talking heads instead.
Please share widely!

Too bad your only skill was putting a knob on a washing machine on an assembly line making union wages ($25/hour). Now some guy in the Philippines has your job making $25/week.
