Just to review: the Clinton rally is going to be a failure, right?

I mean, the working class hates her, and the 1%ers can see her at their $1,000 campaign events, so really, nobody will be coming....

...unless someone got their analysis wrong...

that nobody is going to her kickoff.

If you're going to post flamebait, do try and inject some truth and intelligence into it.

Btw, I hope everyone going has a great time and that it's safe and happy event.

The location could make things difficult but that's the only concern I've read about.

You're not helping, and I'm sure other supporters don't appreciate it.

Overwhelmingly supports her. So whoever told you that the working class hates her is most likely very far to the right on the political spectrum.

It's fun to invent a premise based wholly on the fallacy reductio ad absurdum, pretend someone else actually said it, and then use it to argue against yourself. Petulant school children do that all the time, so there must be something fun and entertaining in doing so... maybe it's a sign of highly evolved and rational mind.

Yes, there are supporters of Bernie who do this, but let's not drop to that level.

less than a day. I'd like to see how it goes, what kind of people attend etc.
I know there won't be very many of 'me' kind of people there so in that vein its already a failure. Yes I said that

I'm tired of the rich holding all the cards. I want to play some too

like I said we're fixing to find out

I will repeat I will vote and I will vote for the democratic nominee no matter who it is.

I take my voting privileges seriously and always have. I voted for a CON once but it was because I felt he was a friend and having known him I actually felt he was the better of the two candidates. All these decades later I still feel that same way

My favorite was the poster who loudly and proudly declared that NO WAY IS IT POSSIBLE FOR A DEM TO LOSE TO RAND PAUL. He mocked anyone and everyone that stated the possibility that Rand could pull off that election.

Then there were those who were convinced that not only would PBO win the 2012 election in a landslide, but that we would go on and sweep both houses.

Even with people who don't support her. Just people wanting to "be there."

NYC_SKP is probably right it'll be a circus for attendees. Just saying.

(Though I don't agree that's why the campaign chose the spot, should go well enough that it's not like, say, Obama's 2008 inauguration with regards to organization.)
