Despite the mainstream medias repeated assertions that the Bernie Sanders movement is now a thing of the past, enthusiasm from his base only seems to be growing, based on the overwhelming number of people who flocked to his rally in Sacramento this Monday night.
Supporters lined up for over four hours to see Senator Sanders outside Bonney Field some of them even longer. The following video by Our Voice Media shows the massive scope of the line, as the videographers take several minutes to drive from one end of the line to the other.
Somewhere between 15,000 and 20,000 people were estimated to have been packed inside the stadium, with more than 10,000 more continuing to wait outside.
The hashtag #BernieInSacramento quickly exploded onto the top trends on Twitter, and yet the mainstream media once again chose to ignore the massive influx of support and unprecedented turnout. The only outlet that covered the rally was local Sacramento NBC affiliate KCRA-3.
Below is the only picture attached to the article, obviously taken before the rally as people were still entering the field:

(24,010 posts)And a very funny pun!
We can tell, from the Clinton supporters' reaction to it, that they approve of corrupt media consolidation and its control over and corruption of our elections, all the way up to our presidential GE.
It amuses me when they give themselves away like this, which of course reflects back the corruption of their candidate.
