In response to "We've discussed that. So, since we've done it, we have not seen a full venue. Is it because of people like us? We don't know, but we're playing the odds. -- nm*" by loosilu

It's obviously very mushy. WE're playing the odds, it gives us petty satisfaction. Your mileage may vary. (what is the Canadian way to say that?) -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:22 15
- I mean, think about it. They're free tickets. If people are waiting outside and they have empty seats, there's no reason not to let people in. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 15:24 14
  - Obviously Donnie always claims there are thousands waiting outside. Dammit Reagen stop harshing my petty revenge. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:26 13
    - Exactly. So by making people wait in line, you are *feeding* his narrative. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 15:26 12
      - Nah. Guarantee they are all inside before he arrives. They need it too look as packed as possible when he swoops in. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:27 11
        
        Yes, but if people have to wait in line because they're waiting for ticketed people that aren't showing up "Look at all the extra people I'm drawing!" - Reagen Jun 11, 15:30 9
        
        Someone could write a dissertation on why Trumpers wait in line. It might be like tailgating. As I said, I strongly suspect it's like a Grateful Dead - loosilu Jun 11, 15:34 8
        
        I don't think you're frustrating anyone. -- (edited) - Reagen Jun 11, 15:36 7
        
        We have never seen a filled venue (BY FAR). -- (edited) - loosilu Jun 11, 15:37 6

        revert to where I said, at the end of the day, it's petty satisfaction for me. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:40 4
        
        and where you are helping to create a line that he can point to as evidence of how many people want in. - Reagen Jun 11, 15:42 3
        
        I didn't do anything to create the line. They would always have done that. -- (edited) - loosilu Jun 11, 15:46 2
        
        As I said, of course he'll lie about it. That's precisely why what you're doing is pointless and counter productive. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 15:50 1
        
        I respect your view. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:51
        
        They need time to turn off lights and put up partitions to hide the empty sections. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:28
