Bernie Sanders Has 'No Problem With Going to West Virginia' to Pressure Joe Manchin
Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said he would have "no problem" with traveling to West Virginia to pressure Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) over raising the minimum wage to $15 and other policies that the latter opposes but most of the Democratic caucus supports.

In response, Sanders said he is not the president, but that he is pleased with the passage of the $1.9 trillion relief package under President Joe Biden, describing it as the "most significant piece of legislation for working-class people" in modern U.S. history.

On pressuring Manchin, Sanders added: "I have no problem with going to West Virginia, and I think we need a grassroots movement that makes it clear to Joe Manchin and everybody else in the United States Senate, including Republicans, that the progressive agenda is what the American people want.
(snip)
"These are not my arguments, these are what the American people want right now, and our job is to rally the American people in every state in this country to make sure that the government starts working for the working class in this country, not just the one percent."

You might wanna check your calendar, guy. 
It is funny to see, thanks. 
But it's also an illustration of what I meant. These Sanders loyalists were not there to build consensus with others who lived there. They've come, from all over usually, to cheer and yell their support over those around them.
In that respect they're a lot like Trump's loyalists.
They're liable to create a noisy show for Sanders himself, but what would it do FOR Democrats and our hugely important agenda?
Our For the People Act to save democracy?
Our giant American Jobs Plan for human, climate, energy, and physical infrastructure, literally to save the world?
Another existential election NEXT YEAR?
with conservatives, which Sanders of course would not have accepted.
Instead, hardly surprising, Sanders' event drew some of his own enthusiastic supporters to Bethlehem, PA to mix with locals. Almost all of us watched and remember it, btw, but I just looked to confirm the details.
Sanders supporters stood in line for hours to get in, same as at other Sanders events. They're a lot like committed Trump supporters in that some came to multiple events to cheer their leader. Which we see on that video. Sanders talked, his people in the audience cheered.
As for Fox, yes, Baier was unable to control his sometimes rowdy audience, Sanders did, but why did Murdoch's Trump channel put on a town hall for a Democratic candidate (and only this one) in the first place?
was still majority leader, the first thing he'd do: "I would be in the state of Kentucky holding a rally." Then he go to other states to hold rallies so the people would force their representatives to do their jobs. It's the revolution thing. "We need to rally the American people by the millions. That's what I mean by a political revolution."
Oh! 
It looks something like this: 
lol
In their face! We need more of him. 
Any Democrat knows LBJ was president.
72. Wasn't LBJ President of the United States?
If the shoe fits.
