Bernie gets big applause in hipster Brooklyn

"His pant legs flapping in the chilly wind coming in off the East River, Bernie Sanders delivered his second pitch of the day to Brooklyn voters in the New York neighborhood of Greenpoint late Friday afternoon.

It was not a hard sell. The independent Vermont senator's stump speech—in which he vowed to tackle income inequality, college debt and systemic racism and get better health care for more Americans—played well with the mostly young, mostly white crowd. Sanders's support comes largely from the young and the white, as Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton often notes, so the crowd that showed up to see him speak in north Brooklyn should come as no surprise"
