***60,000**** !!!!!!! Bernie's LARGEST rally ever in Oakland -- 60,000 people!!!!!

[Peace Patriot]

35. Clinton supporters should provide us with the numbers at Hillary rallies...

...and the frequency of Hillary rallies pulling more than, say--let's be generous--1,000 people. Bernie Sanders ROUTINELY attracts 10,000 people to his rallies, holds rallies frequently--I've lost count in California--and sometimes gets 20,000+ (and, in the case of Oakland, was likely 30,000 to 40,000). When did Hillary do that? There is no enthusiasm for her because she's such a bore. People know they'll get nothing out of it that is of use to them, that inspires them, or that they've never heard before, like Bernie telling people the truth about the Oligarchy and its greed, and good ideas for restoring fairness.

Instead of the numbers and frequency of Hillary rallies, we get lies about the size of the plaza in Oakland. I have family who lived there for many years. Frank Ogawa Plaza can easily fit 20,000 people and another 20,000 and more in the areas around it.

Look at this aerial shot of the rally:

I hope that DU doesn't become a venue for liars, paid propagandists and corporate apologists after Skinner bans dissent on June 14 as promised. I do hope Clinton supporters, if Clinton manages to receive the nomination, won't descend into those depths in Clinton advocacy. It could get awfully boring and off-putting.

And I DO promise, on behalf of all Bernie supporters at DU, that if Bernie becomes the nominee, DU will be the liveliest place on the internet, never boring, packed with useful information and our best efforts at truth, and containing many intelligent discussions about how to restore fairness and democracy in the USA, and how to save our endangered Mother Earth. It will be an attractive place, welcoming to new political activists and thinkers, and open-minded about the analysis and solution to our nation's and our party's problems. And, above all, it will be open to criticism of Bernie Sanders. No leader can lead without criticism, as I'm sure Sanders would agree. It will be a true democratic underground--new ideas welcome, bullies and trolls chased away, and all aboveground events and 'memes' treated with healthy skepticism.
