A Sanders rally shows Democrats will have to decide what to do about "lock him up" chants

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump was against the subject of “lock him up” chants Sunday. But rather than being made to his face, as in his appearance at a 2019 World Series game, they were made at a rally for senator and presidential candidate Bernie Sanders in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The chants broke out during speeches both by Sanders and campaign supporter Rep. Ilhan Omar (whose district includes the city), including when Sanders said of Trump, “We have a president of the United States who is a pathological liar, who is running the most corrupt administration in history.”

I think we should keep on making them.

2. so, you're at the local mall, or shopping at the grocery or

wherever... and a small or even larger flash mob breaks out into chanting
"LOCK HIM UP !"

you're going to mosey on minding your own business?
or righteously join in ?

me, i'm a chanter at heart

✌🏼

5. Oh yeah, I'm definitely joining.

10. I yelled it during church a couple of weeks ago

3. What I would do is channel Obama

Don't boo, vote!

4. MSM is going to say we should be better than this. I say BS. We have been listening

to Trump's crap for 4 years. If he can't take it, he shouldn't be dishing it out. I know we should take the higher ground, but people are pretty much fed up.

9. So are you attempting to justify stooping to that low level of behavior?

[vsrazdem]

12. I would rather see people shout lock him up than riot in the streets.

[TexasTowelie]

14. Well, if those are the two options then I agree with you.

However, I'm saddened that our expectations of civic discourse have deteriorated to the point of imagining even worse behavior instead of striving for something better.

[vsrazdem]

15. Perhaps if we had a better example in the white house, people would have something to look up to.

[vsrazdem]

13. I try not to judge people, so if that is their way of releasing frustration, so be it.

7. I think there's a fine line

Spontaneous "lock him up chants" at public events? Count me in.

But for our candidates at a rally this is a chance to produce a contrast with Dolt 45 by acknowledging the sentiment but insisting that we don't lock people up without a fair trial.

8. we are in the midst of a

evolutionary degeneration... I don't mean to further it


Don't boo, vote

11. Say it often, loud and clear.
