(11,410 posts)Nice try though.
JaneyVee
(19,877 posts)Does your bottom pic look like thousands?
Here's one from a little further back
Look, if you would rather go with propaganda than truth, its on you. At this point I could care less what you guys believe. Hillary is winning. Eyes on the prize. Have a nice weekend.
BigBearJohn
(11,410 posts)You compare Hillary's 5,000 with Bernie's FIFTEEN THOUSAND+?
Nice try. Have a nice weekend.

(2,405 posts)It is a photo from the right side of the curtain, using a shitty camera with poor perspective due to a crappy lens.
I prefer truth over manipulation.
Waiting For Everyman
(9,385 posts)It would be a perfect time, with so many people in one place waiting in long lines to get in.

(51,076 posts)In my 67, dang near 68 years I've never seen a person who can draw a crowd like this man can. We are blessed to have a person of his character in the running for our highest office.
The thing is he's not selling snake oil nor is he blowing smoke up anyone's ass, he's simply sharing his vision with us.
Awesome man.
Will make for a great President.

(10,493 posts)I'm thoroughly impressed with Sanders crowds, no question. Especially his turnout in Austin with almost no notice. The power of social media! But Obama drew incredible crowds.
We were >this close< for his Springfield, IL rally in 2008. Right on the gate to the right of the podium speaker. Totally by chance that we ended up sandwiched there. We were several blocks away in line, about middle of the wait, but they filled us in from the front side. Total luck.

Harriety
(298 posts)We were in about the 10th row back and packed in there like sardines. All around us on the second level were people looking through the glass corridor windows watching Bernie. The capacity for our stadium was 14,000 but I heard that the actual attendance was closer to 20,000.
I am older (65) and at some point towards the end I felt faint. So my husband and I turned around and gestured my dilemma, and soon a sea of people opened up to let us out. I was so very appreciative of the Bernie supporters, mostly young people, who were there that day.
All of you supporting him, just keep up yours spirits and express your support for Bernie in positive ways. He is not only running for President but he is a very nice man. That day it was plain for me to see you are following his example.

(29,692 posts)I'm baffled. It takes more energy to go to a rally than it does to vote and yet he's not getting the voting turnout, what's wrong?
stevenleser
(32,886 posts)I think that's the bottom line. His supporters are very enthusiastic, and a very small percentage of the population.
Very much like Ron Paul.

ETA: I've said it for months, and I will say it again...crowds don't translate into votes.
