The lunacy has begun: 'MARCH ON THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION'


The following was just posted in DU. For your reading pleasure - and amusement: (I personally love the part about WE WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS>

...Bernie hasn't lost yet; however, Hillary and her supporters are already gloating over the crushing of Bernie's Political Revolution. That can't be allowed to happen! There are plans for a massive march on the Democratic Convention in support of Bernie Sanders and his agenda. There's a Facebook page for the March and two event pages:

March on the Democratic National Convention
Bernie Supporters March on Philadelphia - Democratic National Convention

The first already has 2.2K people who've signed up as 'going' and 6.8K who've indicated that they're 'interested.' (I

Come out to Philadelphia and join us as we march on the Democratic National Convention this July! This march is in protest to the highly biased and unfair treatment, demonstrated by the DNC, towards presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders. It has been blatantly clear that the DNC has tried to tip the scales during this election, and has NOT represented the will of the citizens. We have to make our voices heard. WE WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS! This march is also designed to put pressure on the superdelegates to cast their vote in accordance with their constituents. We must unite together, because that is what this campaign is about, not dividing us apart.

13. I KNOW.... that is what is too funny about that. **** that voter and this voter, Sanders should

win because. I have had my giggle over that one.

83. So they believe that the person who garners the most votes shouldn't win. Is that the kind of

revolution they are talking about?

That will go over real well

2. Not interested enough to vote

but still interested enough to storm the gates? Methinks this will sputter out quietly.

15. All 400 who actually show up will certainly

make the convention see it their way. CHICAGO 2016. I can see it now.

7. I think it's great to see liberals stand for liberal principles

Nothing wrong with that. Many democratic and independent voters who may have sat this election cycle out or voted green, feel invigorated enough by the Sanders campaign's message that they're willing to march in support of it. I've been a democratic voter all my life and I don't want a republican lite candidate who will go forward with the same trade and energy policies that are more beneficial to corporate interests than they are for the rest of us.

Calling this "lunacy" makes me wonder what the credentials are to be a member here on DU. I thought we were the liberals who stood for progressive principles. Ted Cruz is a lunatic. Continuing policies that are bad for the environment and hurtful to the working poor is lunacy. Sticking up for progressive principles? Seems right on to me.

129. They will be standing outside with their partners in crime who....

Will be protesting the Democratic Convention as well, republicans. Then again, it will simply be Paul supporters going back to the group they feel most comfortable with.

From the thread, this reminded me of, from years past, "it's getting cold out and finals are coming soon..."

Prog Trump-Haters were drooling at the prospect of turning the R Convention into Chicago 1968 2.0.

Now the BernieBots are making similar threats against the Ds.

 :popcorn: time!
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

DUmmies and Bernie-bots forget that Democrats are masters of setting up "Free Speech Zones", located some distance away from the event that is being protested.

The DNC convention is in Philly, so the zones will be in Pittsburgh.  :rofl:
