He packed over 27,000 into a Los Angeles arena, with many more crowded outside of the filled venue.
They were chanting, "Feel the Bern!", "Feel the Bern!".
After being hijacked by Black Lives Matter activists at two recent rallies, Bernie stated that he understands their frustration.
Today, he invited Black Lives Matter activists to open his rally in Los Angeles. Smart.
"There is no president that will fight harder to end institutional racism," he told the crowd.
I believe him. He marched with MLK and has been extremely active in the civil rights movement since the 1970s.
The cantankerous, old, Jewish, hippy socialist is really hitting a nerve with a lot of people who feel unrepresented by the current establishment and silenced by organized big money.
Personally, I like some of his policy proposals and respect the fact that he often lays them out in detail, unlike some of the other candidates. He doesn't stand a chance in hell of getting the Democratic nod, IMO, but I'm glad he's having his say and so many are listening now. I think he's very good for the political process.
