How Bernie Sanders’ supporters are planning to shake up the Democratic convention

48. Ok, let's look at this rationally.

The committees will meet and do their work, the outcomes voted on at convention. This will be yet another situation where having roots in politics matters. Showing up to convention and making a scene will achieve nothing. Bernie has stated his support for electing Hillary and will do what he needs to at convention to formalize that. A group of folks carrying on out on the convention floor will be just that, nothing more.

You have to have an insurmountable block of support to overcome a realistically expected outcome. I witnessed it once at a MI Dem convention in Detroit. Nomination for AG. It was exciting and, indeed, the masses prevailed with a landslide vote. This situation is very, very different.

I just hope they don't embarrass themselves too much but they do not have the power to turn our convention into a shit show, though I reckon it's a fun daydream for some.
