Was there, great turn out, but no full or even close. The people all got in, although some as Bernie was finishing, but that was far more about the search and the time that took than the stadium being full or past capacity.

Most reports say 21,000+ ..... 17,000 who got in and pictures of (10,000) who couldn't get in - probably because of the Secret Service crowd management protocol.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

There were a lot of people there, granted, but the stands weren't full and neither was the grass area.

And T rump would do twice that here. (sac is more a T rump town than a Bernie town sadly.).

All that is being demonstrated, is how anti-Bernie and pro-establishment the media is.

The MSM used to have so much power. If they didn't report it, no one saw it.

Now we have social media. Everyone sees it now. And we also see that the MSM is a bunch of bought-and-paid-for corporate automatons.

They embarrass themselves on a very big stage.

Unlike Bernie--who is clearly adored and respected on that very big stage!

It's my new favorite "Bernie-crowd" photo.

As a candidate, if I were running against Bernie, something like this would bother me.

Bernie has the love of the people.

by the number of $33K-a-plate seats they could find suckers for. Sacto and other rallies are TELLING as to just which candidate has the PEOPLE'S interests at heart. To be fair tho - corporations are people too!

Thank you to so many alternative media opportunities on You Tube. Some of you have worked very hard to bring truth to the rest of us. I am grateful.
