Hey all,
Come in for the fun. I haven't done one of these in years so I apologize for my rusty skills.
FEEL THE BERN AZ!!
Keep it polite please!
Livestream is here. https://youtu.be/...
2334 people watching it approx 11,000 on site.
UPDATE
Ending numbers viewing livestream, 3620 plus the 11-12k on site = approx 15,000 people viewing.
Some things that I want to point out :
1. He was introduced by a (what I am guessing for age) Millenial Latina
2. As far as BLM issues.: He stated, again: Cops who break the laws should be punished. No ifs, ands or buts about it. He also brought up, again, the tragedy of African American Incarceration #s and the differences in youth unemployment by race. So yes, he's aware, yes, he's addressing it and yes he wants to fix it through providing education for all opportunities and cracking down on law enforcement.
3. He wants to overthrow CU as in now if he could.
4. He sees climate change as a MORAL issue that has to be addressed.
5. He voted against (for those who may not know) NAFTA, CAFTA AND TPP
There's more in the comments but those are some of the things I am seeing discussed in comments on other diaries. There are his policies. Any questions?
6. HE CAN NOT DO IT ALONE!! And he is very vocal about it. We want change? REAL DAMN CHANGE! Fight for it.
UPDATE ON CSPAN: Sanders addresses being black while walking : aka Black Lives Matter. https://www.youtube.com/...
"I want to see an America where young, Black men walk down the street they will not be harrassed by police officers, they will not be killed and will not be shot."
UPDATE: Speech can be viewed here. Start around 34:00 ish.
