Photos: Bernie: More than 9,000 people came out in Warren, MI

[Donkees]

Totally insane. First, a gym full of people. Then an overflow crowd. Then an overflow-overflow crowd, and an overflow-overflow-overflow crowd.

More than 9,000 people came out in Warren, MI to say NO to oligarchy & NO cuts to Social Security, Medicaid, and VA programs.

[Quakerfriend]

[LoveSucky]

3. That's her pet sea urchin.

7. 😂😂😂

[Codifer]

9. I thought

perhaps a voodoo doll?

[malaise]

4. Bernie has consistently delivered this message

Well done

[William769]

5. Warren is a suburb of Detroit where the auto industry has been hit hard.

I knew many peoples families that worked at the Warren stamping plant at 9 mile & mound.

11. Warren is redneckville

and traditionally very racist...maybe it's changed in the last 30 years.

[William769]

13. As with Hazel Park

Many of the people there migrated from S.E. Kentucky looking for a better life (thats where I am from & why I know so many people).

I'm going back all the way to the 70's. I won't give my bonafides because I should not have to jusify who I am. I will say this, must have known different people because that was not my experience.

17. Trump won the county (Macomb) in 2024 by 55% to 43%

So it was not on overwhelmingly Trump area.

[Bluetus]

18. And Bernie has been talking about ECONOMIC FAIRNESS

That isn't liberal. it isn't conservative. It is right and just. These are the issues that Dems must focus on if they want to connect with anything like a winning majority.

And here we are. The Republicans couldn't do more to help us if they dressed every Good Old Putin Senator and Representative in a top hat and walking stick, carrying a bag of money with a huge dollar sign on the bag -- like the Monopoly Man. Yet 95% of the elected Dems -- and evidently 100% of the DNC party bosses -- don't seem to get this at all.

People are pissed. They have been pissed for 25 years. They are pissed MAINLY about economic fairness issues. Period. We have to win those arguments.

[Think. Again.]

6. Thank You Senator Sanders!

Hopefully, soon, more of your collegues will also be willing to stand strong against fascism.

[Mysterian]

8. Dem leadership should be taking copious notes

Go directly to the people. The corporate media will blur your message and make you look like fools.

[Hartpi978]

10. What could have been

If only we had followed him when he first ran in 2016. His platform has not changed from what he said then. We have to unite behind one message, and it should be his.

Enough herding cats. Let's get on the same page.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

12. He's tan rested and ready.

[Nanjeanne]

14. There is strategy - The congressional districts he has visited are all held by Republicans in tight races.

[FirstLight]

15. Amazing! And I love how he went outside and talked

Them should be taking notes... They should be out barnstorming even in the red States and the red places! Everybody wants leadership and people to help us feel like we're not alone!

I sent an email to Bernie and asked him to come to Lake Tahoe

20. Rep Marc Pocan (Wisconsin) is holding a town hall in his own district today...but..

his district borders an R district, and the town hall location is only 10 miles from the district border.
The town hall has been publicized in the R district so hopefully it will be crowded. He has visited other R districts in Wisconsin which never has town halls

[yellowdogintexas]

33. followup: Rep Pocan's townhall drew a very large crowd, many of whom were residents of District 3

and they made their voices heard. I have seen a couple of You Tube videos about it. Either Meidas Touch, MSNBC or Brian Tyler Cohen. Rachel did a great over view of all the town halls and resistance marches from last weekend.

Our Republican Rep may do a town hall here in April we'll see....

[Old Testament Libera]

16. Bernie can't do it all himself

Let's get some of our other Democratic elected officials out there telling the truth the way Bernie is

[Demovictory9]

19. nice

[AllaN01Bear]

21. ""

[Ars Longa]

22. We need to ask ourselves these Questions: Why does it seem easy & normal for Bernie to be out doing

these Large rallies? Likewise, why is it hard for Dems to get a Grassroots thing
like this going?
Is it just unique to Bernies's Brand?
Are the Democrats NOT built for this?
I think our answers to these questions will go a long ways towards Democrats
doing a lot better......

[LeftInTX]

29. He's possibly thinking of running for president again?

These rallies are not cheap and require campaign funds. He's raising funds specifically for the rallies.

23. Has Hillary been holding town halls too?

[aocommunalpunch]

24. Great question

How is this just not everywhere. Dude isn’t supposed to be Atlas.

[townie]

25. Way to go Bern!

[Krazy_Kat]

26. The Detroit News has photos (no story) online

The Detroit News was always the conservative paper. The Detroit Free Press (supposedly more liberal) has nothing!

[snot]

27. People on both sides of the red-blue spectrum

are desperate for reform, in many cases in similar ways (inflation, health care, etc.)

[EarthFirst]

28. Why isn't this deployed on a larger front by the DNC?

There should be half a dozen of these per week by various members of Congress.

Flood the zone; as it were with 9,000 people showing up daily to hear the hard truths about what our nation is facing.

That’s hard to ignore…

Bernie cannot be the sole individual making this happen.

[LeftInTX]

30. Bernie needs to fundraise to keep them going. I wouldn't be surprised if he's considering a run in 2028
