Only a Handful Show up to Democratic Presidential Event(PIC ALERT!)
townhall.com ^ | 11/9/2019 | Bronson Stocking

On Friday, six Democratic presidential candidates spoke to a handful of people at the first-ever "Presidential Forum on Environmental Justice," held at South Carolina State University. More people probably would have attended the event if they knew what "environmental justice" means.

According to a press release from the event organizers, the forum gave "candidates an opportunity to share their policies and visions for the country through an environmental justice lens, and moreover, connect and learn from voters of color whose issues are frequently overlooked. The forum will center the voices of marginalized communities to learn how presidential hopefuls intend to manage climate change, environmental pollution and public health risks that disproportionately affect communities of color."

The event was hosted by the National Black Caucus of State Legislators and around two dozen other national and local organizations. Elizabeth Warren, Corey Booker, Tom Steyer, Marianne Williamson, John Delaney, and Joe Sestak all took questions and participated in the discussion.

Yeah, barnee came to Reno back on Sept 13th (IIRC) to appear at UNR. The local gannett paper said “hundreds” showed up in support. I looked at the pics and it would have been a push to get past a hundred. Butt, he is also a front running contestant.

Required to show up and take a handout back to class for credit but the rear seats mean early exit.

Partner, great response to the DemonRat party.

We are hoping that the DemonRat party gets tarred and feathered in the 2020 presidential election.

That would be a scary picture for Democrats, if they actually depended upon real voters to get elected.

Elizabeth Warren, Corey Booker, Tom Steyer, Marianne Williamson, John Delaney, and Joe Sestak, a collection of lefty socialists who are as popular with people of color as a lead fart.

Keep America Great and vote Trump!

Our president has accomplished more for minority employment than the sick Democrats have in the last 50 years.

There is a reason that Bloomberg the Democrat/Republican and gun control sponsor has entered the Democratic Presidential race. It is that the there are no Democratic candidates who can draw enough votes to win over Trump.

What I like about Bloomberg running is that he is obvious in his quest for power and a Presidential run will empty his bank account, preventing him from donating to gun control legislation. He will never get my vote and the Sanders supporters I know would never vote for a rich NYC white guy.

“Well apparently the biggest issue facing black minorities is incarceration and sentencing reform.”

And Trump has already acted on this issue.

“....No one is MAKING them commit crimes....”

True but liberal “guilt” causes some to feel that “they” are the cause of black youth making them commit crimes.

This country needs to get serious on crime. We saw a resurgence of 3-strkes you're out laws for serious & violent crimes. It is not past time to initiate new career criminal laws that put career criminals (even no-violent crimes) away for life or near life.

Those seats, like the cemetery, are full of Dem voters!

Unfortunately they tend to show up at the only presidential event that matters - election day.
