If only this turn out had actually opposed trump at the polls
I'm educated enough in American politics to understand elusive news about Musk ans Trump but about not that Bernie guy. Is that a first or last name and what was the point of the rally? Also is a rally like a démonstration?
It's a first name. He's a politician somewhere between PS and UDI on the spectrum, so for Americans he is an extreme radical leftist, for normal people a basically sensible centrist with some heart. Has a cult following for a long time, seems like a nice guy probably.
A rally is like a demonstration but with establishment politicians speaking.
Bernie Sanders is a Senator for the state of Vermont. Be has run for president and went pretty far on a socialist platform. Far enough that when you refer to him by his first name while discussing politics, just about every American knows who you are talking about. If there is a truly left wing politician in American government, it's Bernie. And while it doesn't say a lot about the state of things, it does say quite a bit that so many people showed up to hear him speak.
LOL socialist
I fear for her safety. I hope she stays safe.
Does she mean Democratic National Convention or Democratic National Committee the later being the common thing referred to as DNC?
The National Convention is almost five thousand delegates with a plus one or two. Its not exactly a rally its the body that confirms or votes for the party's Prez candidate. They have guest, speakers, other elected Democrats(who aren't delegates), and invite the Press.
I took it as the convention. It's the other publicly visible gathering of folks.
How many billionaires did they kill?
Literally my first thought. All other avenues have been exhausted.
I was at the rally! I was one of the last people let inside before they closed the gate, and thousands of people that didn't get inside watched and listened from outside of the fencing, so the actual number was more than 34,000.
Here's a photo I took...
And here's Bernie...
Bernie should have won.
Fuck everyone who voted for hillary clinton in the 2016 primary.
They need to be tarred and feathered.
bernie is an independent. according to america you only want two teams, everyone else will get little to no votes.
It is not that we only WANT two teams. It's that we only GET two teams. It's an emergent property of a broken voting system. If somebody in the US says you can't or shouldn't vote for another party, that's their interpretation via some kind of game theory thought process to prevent an even worse choice from winning.
That probably isn't relevant any longer, and it's more clear than ever that the system was never improved because it is a great form of control that parties and individuals won't catch the blame for. Thus all the discussion of "alternative" methods of political change.
thank you, I’ve managed to identify you now, dispatched ICE agents at your home
