Bernie Sanders event draws thousands in Savannah

(snip)
By the time the doors actually did open, hundreds were lined up outside the Civic Center. Varying ages, most in their mid-twenties, stood in anticipation of getting a good seat. Some literally ran to the front row as they entered the theater.
(snip)
As 6 p.m. came and went, periodic chants of “Feel the Bern” rang out in anticipation of the Vermont senator. The venue reached capacity, which is around 2,500 seats, and volunteers frantically searched the rows to find vacant seats for the stragglers.

Finally, Mayor Edna Jackson took the stage amid, first, a chorus of cheers, and then, a chorus of boos.

She welcomed Sanders to the stage by talking about his longtime passion to break down walls of discrimination.

The thousands in attendance stood and cheered as Sanders took the stage, waving, followed by a chant of “Bernie, Bernie, Bernie!”

The "boos" were for something she said about income inequality. They were booing that idea - not her.

wearing them out grinding my teeth.

Can't the press and the politicals and the leadership see? People don't go to Bernie Sanders rallies for the entertainment value! They go to be part of making the REAL change happen and the REAL hope bear fruit, not the bait-and-switch stuff they got last time. They have been learning how it all works, and how it doesn't, and that is good!

And they are going to get educated about voting, how to do it, how to spread the word, how to bring the count up for Bernie from people who have never voted in a Democratic primary before. And how to support worthy candidates down-ticket, too.

It's a revolution, damnit!
