Rose Parade closes with anti-Trump stunt, Bernie Sanders march

[Uncle Joe]

But this year, the anti-Trump skywriting message was followed by dozens of Bernie Sanders supporters taking over Colorado Boulevard after the parade.

“I don’t know who did (the sky writing),” said Randy Jurado Ertll, author and community activist. ”I think it’s interesting that they chose to express themselves that way, similar to the way the Bernie supporters decided to march.”

“We wanted to use the venue to send a positive message that people are supporting Sanders and that it’s important for people to get to know him, become aware of his platform and his story,” he said. “We need somebody who won’t just give us a slogan. Trump says things that are irresponsible.”

Sanders marchers carried signs and a paper mache float of the candidate promptly after the parade had finished.

Attempts to reach Trump’s campaign Friday morning were unsuccessful.

2. It's the little things....

They always do to Democrats. Always attempting to marginalized us.

"It's not unusual for rogue groups to follow the tail-end of the city's annual New Year's celebration, protesting one issue or another. Occupy Wall Street protestors have marched at the end of the parade in the past, as well as religious groups, PETA protestors and more."

3. The corporate media has most certainly done what they can do to marginalize Bernie and

his message, so we do what we can do on the Internet and in the streets, it's the only way to win.

We can't count on the corporate media conglomerates to bring newsworthy information to the people so that we can wisely deliberate on the future of our government.

6. True Uncle Joe, but it must be galling to them to learn they don't have the influence they paid

so much money to buy. Social Media is the future, they are the past. They can't stop Bernie no matter how hard they try!
