It’s instructive to compare Bernie’s rally in Savannah, Georgia last night with Donald Trump’s rally in Birmingham, Alabama on Saturday. Two southern states, two populist aspirants for the presidency, two immense crowds. But the two events and the two candidates couldn’t have been further apart. Trump channels the anxieties of Americans into fear and hate. Bernie channels them into hope and tolerance. Trump told the white, middle-aged crowd he’d seal America’s borders against Mexicans and Muslims. Bernie told a diverse, young crowd he’d make public universities tuition-free and reduce incarceration. At Trump rallies, black protesters are kicked and beaten by Trump’s white supporters. At Bernie’s rallies, protesters are respected and heard. (Yesterday, Trump said of the treatment one black protester got in Birmingham, “maybe he should have been roughed up…. This is not the way Bernie Sanders handled his problem, I will tell you, but I have a lot of fans and they were not happy about it. And this was a very obnoxious guy, a troublemaker, looking to make trouble.”)
Trump's right-wing populism poses a clear and present danger to this nation. Bernie's left-wing populism offers the only practical way forward. Rarely in American history has the choice been this stark.

I'm legitimately wondering how much they pay you to come up with this stuff. Surely it can't be a full time job. What is it like 100/w?
I think you need to stop copy/pasting Robert Reich's posts on social media and come up with something original.

It's happened a couple times now.
Several instances doesn't seem to make them "isolated," but it's not like there's mass violence consisting of the entire Trump crowd going family-style on a coon.
It's just one or two bad actors in almost all cases that I've seen. Given that Trump's a less-than-mainstream candidate, and has certain "extreme" views, it's really not surprising that a couple violent people would turn up to his rally.
They probably exist at Hillary/Bernie rallies, etc (okay, not at Hillary rallies because she's protected by Secret Service) - but without an agent stirring up tension, they have no reason to act out.

I think Sanders can go fuck himself.
No votes for people who want to ban more firearms.

Does he have a chance against Hillary, will we have our meme election?
>>56538197
Yep. Bernie already surpassed Hillary in facebook followers. The energized Bernie base will easily overcome Hillary's mediocre base over the next few months.

I can't believe millennials actually think this is an accurate way to gauge a candidate's popularity.
I don't know if you recall, but Ron Paul was pretty goddamn popular on the internet 4 years ago.
>>56539797
Not this popular anon
>>56539549
Why not? Mexicans do

I think you need to go shill for that old socialist jew elsewhere.
>>56539961
>>56539961
58% of Americans don't vote and neither do the beans
>>56540065
He's probably the only candidate that can not afford shills anon

Maybe on 4chan, yes, but 4chan is hardly indicative of the global internet population.

Correction:
>Trump channels an army.
>Bernie channels a zoo.
>>56539044
No, he absolutely is not. He has an F rating by the NRA. Stop peddling this nonsensical lie.

The fact that the Media hates Trump speaks volumes.
