It is a code. They get riled up and then make trouble at the primary voting sites. If they protest or swarm it intimidates Hillary supporters who don't behave the same way. It might give Sanders an advantage (even a little bit helps) with the final numbers and he is keeping his base engaged, albeit in a negative way. It is a revolution after all.
