15,000 people is a pretty big crowd. Triple the largest crowd Hillary has drawn so far.

Like a moth to a flame, Bernie is going to draw out all the weirdos and whackos...plus it's Seattle.

Heck, that's 10 times larger than the number of Americans who can name two republican candidates.

Your hyperbole noted, outside of the cocoon of wingnut nutbags, Jim Gilmore has more name recognition than Crazy Uncle Bernie.

“If you do not listen … your event will be shut down,” one of the protesters told organizers, who offered to let them speak after Sanders. After a back and forth with the screaming protesters, organizers relented and said the demonstrators could go first.


Some in the largely white audience booed and chanted for protesters to let the senator talk. A few yelled for police to make arrests.

Marissa Johnson, one of the protesters, shot back, “I was going to tell Bernie how racist this city is, filled with its progressives, but you did it for me,” accusing the audience of “white supremacist liberalism.” She cited Seattle’s own police problems, including an ongoing Justice Department consent decree over use of force.

Ummm it's Vermont...

They elected this weirdo several times....



Plus it takes like what 20 votes to get elected?

This city is filled with white progressives, which is why Bernie Sanders’ camp was obviously expecting a friendly and consenting audience for today’s campaign visit. The problem with Sanders’, and with white Seattle progressives in general, is that they are utterly and totally useless (when not outright harmful) in terms of the fight for Black lives. While we are drowning in their liberal rhetoric, we have yet to see them support Black grassroots movements or take on any measure of risk and responsibility for ending the tyranny of white supremacy in our country and in our city. This willful passivity while claiming solidarity with the ‪#‎BlackLivesMatter‬ movement in an effort to be relevant is over. White progressive Seattle and Bernie Sanders cannot call themselves liberals while they participate in the racist system that claims Black lives. Bernie Sanders will not continue to call himself a man of the people, while ignoring the plight of Black people. Presidential candidates will not win Black votes without putting out an explicit criminal justice reform package. As was said at the Netroots action, presidential candidates should expect to be shut down and confronted every step along the way of this presidential campaign. Black people are in a state of emergency. Lines have been drawn in the sand. You are either fighting continuously and measurably to protect Black life in America, or you are a part of the white supremacist system that we will tear down in the liberation of our people.

Adrian Rivas You 2 black bitches got the nerve to cut off Bernie Sanders. The man walked with Martin Luther King Jr. WTF. Cheap nappy ass weave. Wtf is wrong with yal. Pure digusting. Yal can get the fuck out, pure ghetto trash. Doing that to the only damn runner on your side.

That's why Liberal progressives like you make me laugh.

And you wonder why Donks are losing governorships and legislatures state after state after state, and why the shallow pool of Donk candidates are nothing but Special Olympics rejects?
