2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)See You In Philadelphia July 24-28! Huge Sanders Rallies for Democracy. When, where & how. [View all]
On July 24th-28th Come to Philadelphia to rally for the future of our Democracy!
The Bernie Sanders presidential Campaign is going all the way to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia this July. Despite the Mainstream Medias Manipulation of the facts, and insistence that this race is all but over, Bernie is going to finish strong in the primaries and it is nearly a statistical impossibility that either Democratic Party candidate will be able to clinch the nomination on pledged Delegates alone.
It is crucial that american Citizens take a stand and show up to support Bernie during the Democratic National Convention, to show the DNC just how committed we are to his Nomination for the General Election.
No Masks, No Violence, Just Americans standing up for the future of our nation, and the values we know are pivotal to preserving our Democracy. Let's turn Philadelphia into Woodstock!
Rally, March, Demonstrate, and peacefully protest. with any luck we can motivate such an enormous response in our support community that we will be a force to be reckoned with simply by being a logistical nightmare, and unsolvable strain on the citys infrastructure. this is not a call to violence this is a call to presence. if we are able to gather crowds in the hundreds of thousands, or even millions, we stand more of a chance of keeping ourselves safe from police aggression. there is no point in physical conflict, when we have enough people to make Philadelphia stop working by simply showing up.
This video was created for free by passionate supporters of Bernie Sanders. With the most sincere hope that it is worth your time to watch and share with those who love him too.

I remember when the Republicans used the old "angry mob" talking point against protesters.

The right to petition your government and the right to free speech IS how democracy works.

That's just one aspect of democracy we have not won yet. Gore had the most votes in 2000. He lost.
