Another day, another huge rally for Bernie Sanders in New York City.

Yesterday afternoon some 4,000 Sanders supporters marched from Foley Square to Union Square, throwing boisterous Get-Out-The-Vote parties at either end. There was also a lot of Bernie fashion:

The event was organized by Millennials For Bernie Sanders, and included appearances by Shailene Woodley ("a kind of living symbol of the millennial force field" according to the Times) and Rosario Dawson.

And they are legit grassroots. As opposed to the astroturf people paid to go online for Hillary.
Why would anyone in the party not want to be part of this celebration of progressive values? Hard to understand.

What a beautiful and inspiring day. It is fantastic to see so many people involved and motivated. But please don't spoil that by gratuitously insulting Hillary supporters.

Where are the Hillary supporters?

Many are in demographics that mean they are either working and taking care of their families 24/7 and unable to any take time off or older and no longer able to walk the miles they once could. They will go to the polls though. They are also a very conscientious group, at least the ones I know.

It looks like it was a gorgeous day and I'm glad so many people were able to do it.
