Bernie Sanders is Spending Labor Day in N.H
The senator from Vermont was greeted with a standing applause and chants of “Bernie, Bernie, Bernie”.
Sanders told NBC on Sunday that the 15-percent polling threshold required for the presidential debates was “probably too high” for Green Party nominee Jill Stein and Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson. The Bernie Sanders campaign was, after all, in the event title and they did invite a couple of us Sanders people to speak. “At the very least”, Sanders said. Sanders demolished Clinton in the primary, winning statewide by 22 points.
An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll shows almost a third of millennials are disillusioned with both presidential front-runners, saying that they plan to vote for either Green Party candidate Jill Stein or Libertarian nominee and former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson.
“What happened in 2000 is Al Gore lost New Hampshire by about 7,000 votes and 19,000 people voted for Ralph Nader”, she said. To contrast that, we mentioned the U.S. Senate race between Hassan and Ayotte.
Sanders was also stopping by the AFL-CIO’s annual Labor Day breakfast in Manchester. Feeling like I have been pigeonholed into a stereotype of an ignorant young person just because of the candidate I support can be frustrating.
When Bernie Sanders took the stage on the first night of the Democratic National Convention, he was greeted with several minutes of applause.
On the bright side, if you are white, male, heterosexual, not physically or mentally impaired, and/or not poor, this can be an educational taste of what many of our brothers and sisters must endure when it’s assumed that they’ll naturally fall in line behind whatever the Democratic Party has coughed up without seeming to deeply know or care about their issues. Some of his supporters in the state remain reluctant to vote for Clinton.
“They do a lot of good things with AIDS and so forth”, Sanders said.
I thank you for tolerating my many alliterations and long sentences (not run-ons, importantly).
New Hampshire played a pivotal role in the Democratic primary. “We got the Iraq War” she reminded the audience.
Mitchell Farmer of Duluth campaigns for Rick Nolan during a meeting of Bernie Sanders supporters for the official kickoff of Sanders’ political movement called “Our Revolution” at the Duluth home of Sandy Thompson. As Sanders talked to a national AFL-CIO leader, a man approached his auto yelling about the threat of “empire” in America.
Sanders looked at him quizzically, then ducked into the vehicle that had brought him from Vermont and would deliver him to three more events before the end of the day.
