5. Targeting a demographic

that does not encompass the broad composition of the Democratic Party in a very diverse state seems like a slap in the face to the electorate, even when it comes to music for a rally.

[Warren DeMontague]

15. you are either flailing badly

or else attempting some sort of post-modern performance art comedy, at which you are also flailing badly.

[Mnpaul]

70. You better check out the Dave Matthews Band

before you make an even bigger fool of yourself

Here's a clue

2. OP=vomit.

[carburyme]

3. Either you got it

Or you dont

[840high]

4. This is not one bit

important to me.

[ProgressiveEconomist]

20. You don't care about the

diversity of what likely will be Bernie's last big rally? You're making my point for me.

[mac56]

43. That's it? That's all you got?

You are pathetic.

[840high]

47. Your point pretty silly.

We have people out of work, nations threatening nuclear wars, isis killing young girls who wouldn't sleep with them.

[azurnoir]

6. your OP proves one thing-you don't know who Fishbone is here let me help you with a song

[rufus dog]

12. I doubt he knows about DMB!

Let him use the google and figure it out.

[azurnoir]

14. True enough it's just that I'm a long time fan of Fishbone

[ProgressiveEconomist]

17. I've heard OF Fishbone

Aren't they a struggling alternative rock band? Have they ever had a hit? Would you say their fans mirror the diversity of the Democratic Party?

[azurnoir]

18. Here have some more warning NSFW bad language

[wendylaroux]

34. are you being serious with this post? you make absolutely no sense.pathetic

[Ned_Devine]

79. People that support Bernie aren't into the hits you musical dunce.

We listen to a wide array of music, many of whose artists play from the heart and not to get onto "today's top hits". You're a total embarrassment.

[Warren DeMontague]

83. I may not have my finger on the pulse, but I'm not sure Stevie Wonder is super current, either.

[Ned_Devine]

84. Ever since "I just Called to Say I Love You" his music has been weak sauce

I loved his music before that though

[dana_b]

40. Ah! Because Stevie is black and Dave is white...

what STUPID fucking OP!! I do not care if I get hidden (I'll be out of here in a week or so anyway).

Yeah, the OP did not do any research before flapping their lips.

[VulgarPoet]

74. The dangers of way too much tumblr. eom

[Bluenorthwest]

7. Fishbone!

[rufus dog]

8. You might want to do some research on DMB.

Also, not sure if it still his practice, but he splits the earnings evenly among all band members. So at the peak you had a fiddle player pulling down six million per year.

On edit, I check out discussionist every few days. There is some stupid shit posted over there, and I must say, this stupid shit is on par.

[notadmblnd]

9. No, none what so ever

the other acts playing at the event. Pay special attention to the lack of diversity?

John Dexter Stewart aka Blaxx

[ProgressiveEconomist]

21. Never heard of him

[notadmblnd]

23. So you're in charge of determining what is diverse?

And you determine what is diverse based upon whether or not you've heard of someone? Just how does that work? Exactly where is Sanders lacking cultural diversity? Please be specific in your answer.

Thanks in advance.

[ProgressiveEconomist]

28. "where is Sanders lacking

cultural diversity"?

Look at exit polls, and also look at the videos of the crowds at tonight's rallies. The rallies sound like the kinds of events that will get great coverage in tomorrow's news shows, along with declarations of HRC's presumptive nominee status. Bernie's crowd is going to make him look like an isolated sore loser, while Hillary's exultant crowd will reflect the diversity of the Democratic Party-- that's my prediction.

[notadmblnd]

60. You wasn't posting about his exit polls

You were posting about diversity in regards to who was appearing at his rally. IIRC you said "Stevie Wonder VS Dave Matthews.....blah, blah, blah"

So in no way was this about his exit polls. So again, please explain what your point was in regards to who plays at Sander's rally?

If you meant to imply that the artists that perform at Sander's rallys aren't black enough- and that Sanders is a bigot by extension- you were just proved wrong.

[wendylaroux]

36. so you are not diverse AT ALL,shame on you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[99Forever]

10. Is there someone...

... who actually gives a shit? I mean among normal human beings.

[Warren DeMontague]

11. I used to drink with those guys from Fishbone.

they partied hard.

[azurnoir]

38. Really seriously I kinda envy you

albeit I'll admit I'm way more of a smoker than a drinker

[Warren DeMontague]

63. I quit a long time ago, lol

But back in the day...

[Ned_Devine]

80. I saw a documentary about them a few years back. They had a great story

[Warren DeMontague]

13. Far be it for me to defend Dave Matthews Band

but what the fuck is your point, here?

[ProgressiveEconomist]

29. See the first post of mine

to which you already replied.

[NCTraveler]

16. Those are both very impressive lineups. Nt

[ProgressiveEconomist]

24. Would you say both

lineups would tend to attract audiences with the same demographics?

[NCTraveler]

25. I think they both cover the youth...

But Clintons would reach older as well. I think Clintons has broader appeal.

Still, both are excellent. DMB might actually broaden appeal for Sanders like I mentioned for Clinton.

[Warren DeMontague]

61. No, i suspect one campaign is more heavily targeted towards the "frampton comes alive"

Age group.

[DavidDvorkin]

19. This strikes me as a silly complaint

And I'm a Hillary supporter.

[Go Vols]

22. lol

[QC]

26. The competition is very stiff, but

I think this could well be today's dumbest thread.

Maybe the past week's.

[ProgressiveEconomist]

32. See post #28 above, and

be sure to watch any evening news show tomorrow.

Then reflect on what your post says about you.

[QC]

42. You should reflect on what it says about you

that you would post something as moronic as this.

[mythology]

27. This is silly.

[bunnies]

30. You don't listen to music much, do you.

You should have at least googled the bands before you made yourself look like an ass.

[passiveporcupine]

65. ^^This^^

[Starry Messenger]

31. I'm a Hillary supporter who lives in the Bay Area.

Fantastic Negrito is also playing (I'm a fan) and he's African-American (and a Bernie supporter.)

[RandySF]

33. The Sanders rally sounds like a 420 event.

[wendylaroux]

39. this post is like a 420 event

[QC]

44. More like a bad acid event. n/t

[wendylaroux]

46. I have never seen such insanity.My God! lol

[QC]

49. Totally nuts, and the better their candidate does,

the more frenzied they get.

It's very strange. This is not how confident people act.

[wendylaroux]

50. I wonder if some of the more rabid ones,

have thousands of pics of hc glued to their walls.and I am just barely kidding.

[QC]

54. Our Lady of Perpetual Martyrdom, pray for us! n/t

[wendylaroux]

55. oh Good God!

[Jack Bone]

56. The 1st Methodist Saint nt

[Aerows]

71. It's one of those posts

where you wonder if you should not be on drugs or if you aren't on enough of them.

[Warren DeMontague]

62. Heavens! How awful!

Will they be injecting marijuanas?!

[VulgarPoet]

76. And no doubt Debbie Downer will want them all thrown in prison

to be the 21st century slave labor.

[dana_b]

35. wtf?! What does that mean?

"Does Bernie have no Democratic cultural sensitivity whatever?"

I have no idea what you mean by this. Because he is having Dave Matthews play he is culturally insensitive? Or maybe because Stevie is blind and Bernie doesn't have a musician with a disability playing he is culturally insensitive?

This is a nonsensical post,

[QC]

37. It's a clumsy, hamfisted rehash of the Racist Bernie!!11!! meme. That's all.

And the person who posted it is getting quite testy that people didn't fall for it.

[dana_b]

41. I got it ater I saw the Fishbone post

and thanks. It's absolutely the stupidest post I've seen here in a while. And that's saying something

[ProgressiveEconomist]

48. After tomorrow's delegate

counts, and subsequent endorsements of Hillary as presumptive nominee by President Obama and his coalition, many news outlets finally maymay decide there is no reason to interview Sanders until after the GE.

Hillary's lineup at the Greek Theater has been known for weeks. Couldn't Bernie at least have come up with a lineup of well-known musicians just as diverse as Hillary's for what likely may be his last hurrah?

[wendylaroux]

51. I'll bet your not even a ProgressiveEconomist are you?

[passiveporcupine]

66. We are getting trolled here guys

You can always tell when they get caught saying something stupid, and get called out on it, and then double down on it as if the whole thread hasn't gone off the rails already.

Laugh, but don't feed the troll.

[dana_b]

53. Fishbone and Fantastic Negrito are not diverse?

Do your research. Well known? Fishbone is very well known. FN is a local. Who cares anyway? You're just looking for some nonsensical crap to throw at Bernie.

[mac56]

45. This post just lowered the collective IQ of DU

by 10 points. Congratulations.

[d_r]

52. What is this i dont even

[Aerows]

72. The thread the OP started is an example of:

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

[d_r]

73. we're going to need +1 and -1 buttons

[immoderate]

57. Put me down for "this is stupid."

--imm

[Glamrock]

58. Wow. Amazing.

[DebDoo]

59. Maybe instead of #BernieMadeMeWhite trending, #HillaryMadeMeInvisible should have

Cause Clinton and her supporters just can't seem to see a lot of Bernie's supporters.

[Live and Learn]

64. Everytime I think Hillary supporters can't get more ridiculous, sombody proves me wrong. nt

[Aerows]

69. Griping because Bernie Sanders

is encouraging people to vote.

[Aerows]

68. Wait a minute

Are you really criticizing a human being that lives in the US for bringing attention to the fact that we need to vote?

[auntpurl]

75. Sorry, but as a Hillary supporter I think this thread is off-base

Fishbone is a black band (I was a huge fan back in the day) and several members of DMB are black (and are classically trained jazz musicians to boot).

I'm not sure I really get the point you're trying to make?

[Raster]

77. Not to worry, Purl. The OP isn't sure what point they're trying to make either.

[Ned_Devine]

78. Wow! The stupid on this post is strong!

You must not listen to much music.

[Ace Rothstein]

81. This is one dumb thread.

Although DMB does suck.

[Warren DeMontague]

82. This story is sort of the perfect metaphor for DMB

Man, those poor fuckers on the boat.
