FEEL THAT BERN!!!

[brooklynite]

1. If only you could get them to vote.

[HerbChestnut]

2. Why so cynical?

Seriously...

[bkkyosemite]

4. Always when it comes to Bernie

[brooklynite]

24. Perhaps the track record over the past four months.

[bkkyosemite]

3. The thing is we are voting but the votes get flipped, stolen, disenfranchised and

go missing.

[kgnu_fan]

15. right!

[GoneFishin]

27. Exactly. Which is why they keep interjecting the nonsense about people standing in the heat and the

cold for hours to see a guy that they can't be bothered to vote for. It's nonsense. But it's the only cover story they have to explain why people are explosively enthusiastic about Bernie, but the votes don't all make it through the DNC administered vote counters.

31. im sure we will hear all this

repeated ad nauseaum after June 7 as to why Sanders lost again.

[nadinbrzezinski]

34. I am aware I will pretend to vote on June 7

for all I know, never mind I am a decline to state voter, I will be voting for John Kashch. If those who count the votes decide they need that vote to go there... or for that matter it will go poof.

Yup, accepted it already, our elections are that corrupt... it is the torta effect.

[Peace Patriot]

7. You think Hillary's going to get to vote?

Lol!

[dchill]

8. If the polling places are open, and they're allowed...

they'll vote. You should have known that.

[stevenleser]

9. Oh those 20,000 out of a metro area of 4.6 milion will vote. It still won't help Bernie. nt

[Logical]

10. If only hillary would turn liberal. nt

[JimDandy]

11. They do...when given the chance to. And Cali is giving them the chance.

Going to be interesting...

[ucrdem]

13. If only they were there.

[Bluenorthwest]

16. New Oregon Poll (Oregon Public Broadcasting/Fox 12): Clinton 48 - Sanders 33

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511948964

You touted that as if it was credible. Then what happened? Bernie won by a large margin. This is not the East Coast. It's just not.

[bkkyosemite]

20. It's the West!

[Jitter65]

37. Yes they were correct. 6,000 showed up...no 20,000.

[ucrdem]

5. There are about 300 bored-looking people standing in front of City Hall:

Screenshot: Where are the other 24,700 people?



and the title image of the livestream appears to be from a different event:

[Bluenorthwest]

17. At least 20,000 people attend Bernie Sanders rally in Oakland

OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) --
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders addressed supporters at a rally at Frank Ogawa Plaza in Oakland. At least 20,000 people gathered to hear him speak.

Earlier in the day, Sanders spoke at Allen Temple Baptist Church in Oakland, where he was joined by actor Danny Glover and San Francisco supervisor Jane Kim.

The link has photos if the text is too dense for you!

[ucrdem]

19. You mean this photo?

There must be 50 people there. And that's the most populous photo at the link. There's also a video, and I see about 10 peeps in this screenshot:



Where'd they all go?

[MFM008]

33. ive had more people

at a garage sale....

[nadinbrzezinski]

35. I am sorry there is no aerial view of this

but it is a secret service protectee zone... I do not expect you to know what that means anyway.

On edit

[Prism]

30. I was there. It was packed.

And there was massive overflow out of the plaza and into the streets. When we left towards the end, there was still a massive line snaking through downtown.

Easily tens of thousands of people.

[QC]

36. He always does well in places that are close to Vermont. n/t

[pa28]

6. Bernie can take California!

That would be a nice way to walk into an open convention.

[AzDar]

12. PIC!

[Uncle Joe]

14. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, AzDar.

[Bluenorthwest]

18. Secret Service on the spot....

[AzDar]

21. Reportedly Animal Rights Protesters... Weird, 'Cause Bernie Has 100% Rating From Humane Society

[imagine2015]

22. Might have been some animal rights group. Good job by an alert Secret Service.

[amborin]

23. fabulous!!!!!!

[AzDar]

25. New PIC!

[lmbradford]

28. Cnn live

One of the reporters was showing how many ppl were in Oakland. He estimated 100,000 but i would believe 60,000.

[AzDar]

29. Wowzer!

[sufrommich]

38. The OPD made no such claim of 60000 people .

Someone made a picture with words on it making that claim,therefore it must be true.

[mhatrw]

40. more like 100,000

[Starry Messenger]

39. 20,000 wouldn't fit in Frank Ogawa Plaza.

The largest event I've attended in Oakland was the port shut down for Occupy, which was 15,000. It was huge and spilled out onto several adjoining streets.
