NYT: Bernie Sanders Throws a Nationwide House Party for Over 100,000 Would-Be Foot Soldiers
It had all the markings of a Washington house party: guests milling about, talk of politics and policy, a few custom cocktails and a crowd that would make a fire-code enforcer sweat.
Oh, and Senator Bernie Sanders.
Indeed, on what the campaign is calling one of the most important days of its upstart movement, Mr. Sanders came to this small apartment in southwest Washington, looked into a camera and spoke live to what his campaign said was more than 100,000 supporters nationwide.
“Enough is enough,” Mr. Sanders, a Democratic presidential candidate from Vermont, told his followers, listing grievance after grievance, from income inequality to the Citizens United ruling to the minimum wage to Sandra Bland. Then he called on them to act.
...
“This poster is beautiful,” Mr. Sanders told Ms. Sharma. He read it aloud: “What it says is, ‘First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.’ Maybe that is what this campaign is about.”
