Related: About this forumBernie Sanders House Party attendees speak (VIDEO)
Cody Pogue had a Bernie Sanders House Party that was very well attended. There were north of 40 people that showed up.
On July 29th, 2015 over 100,000 people participated in over 3,500 house parties around the nation. It was massive grassroots organizing similar to the organizing in the Obama 2008 days.

(486 posts)And this party seems pretty typical I'd say, about as diverse as a group of @40 could get... and quite similar to several other meetups I've seen reported.
I don't think it matters much what age, race, gender, or political affiliation... people are just drawn to the message, and excited by the very concept of an honest candidate who isn't afraid to say what he thinks.
Good stuff.

Too many middle-class, young and old. Some veterans. Some poor and struggling.
Shouldn't there have been more stepford men and women? Maybe some that think that trickling down is a fine thing? Or that people that talk funny shouldn't be allowed in the country? Frankly the demographic for this group doesn't represent the wealthy white old retirees.
