Bernie Sanders’ Brooklyn campaign headquarters opens with a block party for fired-up supporters

Brooklyn was Bernin’ Saturday as Bernie Sanders’ campaign opened a hometown headquarters with a raucous rally, some political canvassing and a good old-fashioned block party.

Supporters of the Democratic presidential hopeful — who won’t quite let Hillary Clinton run away with the nomination — showed up to the Sanders lovefest in force. They packed Eighth St. near Third Ave. in Gowanus, grooved to hip hop and house music, and waved “Feel the Bern” signs.

Racial justice and civil rights activist Linda Sarsour was one of the first to address the fired-up crowd.

“As a Muslim American, I am proud to put my vote behind the only Jewish candidate for President,” she said to roaring applause. “That’s how we do in Brooklyn, N.Y.”

1. I live in Brooklyn and I can tell you Hillary will win in Brooklyn.

But i am happy he will campaign here.

[Silver_Witch]

3. We shall see...

Brooklyn folks don't fall for lies - they are tough and smart. We shall see.

[hrmjustin]

4. Hillary is liked here.

[Uncle Joe]

5. Do you believe Hillary will agree to a debate in New York before that state votes? n/t

[hrmjustin]

6. She might but she shouldn't. But it won't matter in Brooklyn or NYS.

She will win most of Brooklyn except a few northwest neighborhoods.

[Uncle Joe]

7. Why shouldn't she?

[hrmjustin]

8. He will just attack her.

[Uncle Joe]

10. From my understanding debates are supposed to be about spelling out the differences between

the candidates.

It would hardly be a debate otherwise.

Don't you believe the citizens in the largest state left to vote in the East deserve their own debate?

[hrmjustin]

11. We don't need a debate.

We know the issue.

[Uncle Joe]

13. Do you speak for all the citizens in New York and what is Hillary afraid of? n/t

[hrmjustin]

15. I have not been elected to any position so that is a no.

And Hillary is not afraid to debate but she shoukd give him no inch in NY. They can debate in PA

[Uncle Joe]

16. Why shouldn't "Hillary give Bernie an inch in New York" if you're so certain that she will win

it all except for a few northwest districts in Brooklyn per your post #6?

[hrmjustin]

17. I think you can figure it out on your own.

[Uncle Joe]

24. I already have 1. You're not so certain that Hillary will win it all in New York and 2. Hillary is

afraid of holding a debate there, at least to this point.

[hrmjustin]

25. She wants to win by a strong margin.

I have full confidence with a win but i want it to be big so i don't want him to trip her up.

This is about getting Hillary elected for me.

[Uncle Joe]

27. Well if one is to believe the drumbeat of corporate media conglomerate propaganda; math and stuff,

Hillary doesn't need to win by a large margin in New York.

With me this is about getting Bernie's message out, the largest state primary in the East deserves the debate, being a major media hub the Democratic messaging for both candidates would be high and it's only fair play; Bernie had the courage of his convictions in allowing a late scheduled debate to be held in New Hampshire when he was ahead in the polls of that state.

On a thread by Segami.

I am writing to you about the remaining, agreed­upon Democratic primary season debates in April and May of this year. As you know, Secretary Clinton agreed to three additional debates – one in March, one in April, one in May – in return for our campaign agreeing to the late­scheduled debate in New Hampshire prior to that state’s primary.

[hrmjustin]

28. I prefer to win it big.

[Uncle Joe]

29. I prefer the nation and Democratic Party to win it big.

[hrmjustin]

30. We will.

[Uncle Joe]

31. Not if Hillary is perceived as weak; too afraid to debate Bernie in New York, just

because she is leading there.

I don't believe many view timidity as a strong sign of leadership.

[hrmjustin]

32. Write her a letter.

[Uncle Joe]

33. That's what I'm doing here.

[hrmjustin]

34. She doesn't read DU.

[Uncle Joe]

35. Whether she does or not, I have no doubt some of her supporters do.

[hrmjustin]

36. Enjoy.

[Uncle Joe]

37. Peace to you, hrmjustin.

[hrmjustin]

38. Peace to you.

[longship]

9. We'll see, said the Zen Master. nt

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

12. Your arrogance blinds you Hillary Supporters...

It will be to your undoing come California

[hrmjustin]

14. Well I kniw my borough and we are not going to vote for Sanders.

[Live Bait]

19. You know your corner of the borough

But Bayside and Borough Park aren't going for Clinton.

[hrmjustin]

22. Southern and eastern Broohlyn will go big for Hillary.

Do you live here?

[Live Bait]

18. Not according to in-laws.

Brooklyn is heavily for Bernie, not Clinton.

I don't know what bullshit Clinton sold you, but fuhgeddaboudit.

[hrmjustin]

20. Do they live in northwest Brooklyn?

[Live Bait]

21. Boro Park/Bay Ridge area

Not bayside. Wrong section of NYC (I'm not from NY)

[hrmjustin]

26. Bay Ridge is going Hillary, sorry but your info is wrong.

Bay Ridge Democrats endorsed Hillary by 3-1.

Borough Park maybe competitive but the rest of Southern Brooklyn will go big for Hillary.

[beam me up scottie]

2. Brooklyn welcomes one of their own!!!
