2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumBernie will need to step up his security
I admire his campaign's open door, low tech barnstorming. But yesterday was a crime of opportunity. The goons who infiltrated the stage yesterday took advantage of Bernie's lack of security and hijacked low hanging fruit. They would never get near Hillary, Biden, Obama, etc other than to heckle from the back of the room, if that. They knew this was easy pickings, and probably laughed their ass off after how easy it was.
You're in the big leagues now, Bernie.

Thanks for considering.

(16,399 posts)Racist is just about the worst thing you can call someone.
But I get it, it's a one way street.
Have a nice day.

(9,497 posts)But I just think we can keep our end on a higher level, since we aren't the ones with loved one being real targets.
But I get it. Thank you, sincerely, for even considering it. You are your own person and free to chose to do what you feel is right.
I just want to stop the entrenchment and felt the use of a trigger word keeps us digging harder.
Have a nice day, too. And I am not being ironic or anything else that seems to hide behind that phrase on this site.

But I'm shocked they weren't escorted away. I mean, it's not like this is the first time in the history of the world that protesters have disrupted an event.
The whole thing was just bizarre. A couple of people were able to shut down the event. How the hell does that happen?
