I donated to the bern and totally support & hope he wins, but nate silver pointed this out: he probably won't because he finds himself in a similar situation to barack obama in 2008 facing down the frontrunner clinton except he's a fogey old jew and black communities aren't going to warm up to him while clinton is already in bed with them

i still can't believe he just let them speak, if this happened at a republican rally those girls would have been carried out in body bags

he's basically played it the best he can, by capitulating to them.

while their methods were obnoxious, hardly any bernie sanders supporter is going to argue that their basic message that there are disparities in the justice system for black people versus others that should be corrected.

so, i dunno what your recommendation is, he yell at them or something? at best, the protestors go away and don't support him.

if he capitulates, his existing supporters aren't going to ditch him (what's the alternative? hillary? lol), and at best he convinces the protesters to work with him cooperatively rather than adversarially.

my recommendation is:

they were a couple of stupid crazy bitches, pretty common for these types to show up when somebody is running for president. why the gently caress wasn't his security team or he himself prepared for / anticipating something like this? it's not like it matters because they are 'on your side', sometimes you need a strategy to kick people out. this won't be the first time his events are disrupted either (hint these 2 cunts were not on his side, in their view he was just some ornery old white fag)

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

you're what's wrong with politics and discourse in general

lol let's see your reaction when donald trump supporters roll up and wrestle the mic away from bernie telling him to deport all the mexicans. if you can't see that people shouldn't be allowed to wrestle control of an event from a presidential candidate (one who I support btw), you are just retarded sorry

bernie would probably be okay with that message, since he's pretty protectionist/anti-free trade, so there are plenty of immigrants that got in to the US via NAFTA i'm sure he'd be fine with deporting
