NCTraveler posted a link.
It has one of the protesters talking about who she was, how she came to be and what she was aiming to do. Ten minutes and I get it. She talks about all the different ways people try to fight the establishment and what actually works and doesn't.

She made a strong case, IMO to use agitation.

I know the supporters are frustrated, but Bernie is easy to get to and he has the crowds. O'Malley and Hillary don't have that combination. It really isn't about Bernie or the election so much. Off to find the link to the thread ...

Then why are they only attacking Bernie's rallies and trying to silence him? emsimon33 Aug 2015 #14

That would be part of the whole fumbling bit. Granted it seems.........odd that cstanleytech Aug 2015 #15
