Top Dems Ellison, Perez, Franken Draw Only 138 YouTube Viewers for Live Stream Event

Three high-profile Democrats, including the Democratic Party's two highest ranking officials, took part in a YouTube live stream on Tuesday in which they discussed hot-button issues, but the trio only drew 138 total viewers by the end of the event.

Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez; Rep. Keith Ellison (D., Minn.), the DNC's deputy chair; and Sen. Al Franken (D., Minn.) took part in the YouTube live stream.

The three party leaders discussed health care before Perez left and the conversation turned to net neutrality. Jessica Gonzalez from the pro-net neutrality group Free Press joined Ellison and Franken for the discussion.

At one point early in the live stream, a shot of the audience showed what appeared to be mostly young people, some of whom may have been interns, as the event took place at DNC headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Repeatedly at the beginning of the live stream, Perez and Ellison told the crowd to text "RESIST" to a number for more information

"Did everybody in the studio audience enjoy your lobster?" Franken asked at the end of the event.

At the time of publication, the YouTube video had 289 views.

I think the Dems are going to lose even more seats in the 2018 mid-terms. I also think Trump will win in 2020 with even more EVs than he did last November.

It is reports such as this which make me wonder how much of a strangle hold they actually have over students. Franken should be a rock star if students truly respected their teachers and professors.

I guess they should have included, say, Hillary, Bernie, and Pelosi, to increase the viewership. LOL

YouTube was a bad move on their part. On YouTube, the puppy can’t smell the meat tied around their necks so it won’t play with them.

This means there are more people watching speed runs of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night on Twitch.tv than have interest in the Democrats leadership.

Think about that... more interest in watching someone play a 25 year old video game than care about that party.

Our national uni-party and mainstream media are in Soviet territory here.

No on believes them except for a minority of bitter clingers and their public lackies, but because they still control the mechanisms of power, the public isn’t quite aware of how unbelievable (and unbelieved) they really are.

138 viewers? The livestream event YouTuber Mark Dice did recently when he reached 1 million followers got viewership measured in the tens of thousands! (Indeed, the fact there were multiple live streams of Trump’s rallies on YouTube that proved to be the difference in the election.)

“Comments are disabled for this video” (wonder why?)

... and still 289 views. (scintillating)

Am I the only citizen puzzled that the now thoroughly COMMUNIST Democrats are going nuts (it was a short walk for most of them) that the 1917 birthplace of the warped political ideology – that’d be RUSSIA for you who recently attended “gubimint skuuls” — they love and embrace is the object of their “deep concern” for the security of America culminating in their Trumped up (pun intended!) charge of RUSSIAN “collusion” against the Trump campaign?

And I wonder how much of that insane Democrat hatred is aimed at RUSSIA as much as it is at Trump because RUSSIA – like so many other nations – is moving AWAY from the pure Marxist, human nature denying “Workers’ Paradise” BS THEY have struggled to create HERE in the wake of the 52% of us figuring out what they’ve been up to and, having done so, kicked their asses on 11/8/2016?

Just askin’.
