Philadelphia will Bern.

The City of Brotherly Love is expecting up to 200,000 protesters at this month’s Democratic National Convention, the Philadelphia mayor’s office told The Post.

Protest organizers, however, say they are planning for 1 million protesters. “It’s becoming more and more realistic as the days go on,” said the chief organizer, Billy Taylor, 31, who holds permits for three-quarters of the permitted protesters.

The odd thing is the violent, disruptive protestors will be at both conventions, all attacking from the left. Just bizarre. Nothing satisfies them except complete and total control over everyone.

Quite a few will be the exact same people.

They will be the same protestors at both conventions. The radical left is the source.

different era. today’s yoots would never have sex in the mud. first of all, the mud is dirty, and the outdoors isn’t air conditioned. bernie’s little millenial dipsh*ts won’t go across town if their mom won’t drive them.

May the Dems tear themselves to shreds...funny how so many Sander's supporters, somehow think they can recreate the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago.

Hey X's and Millennials you are not the “Beat” or Flower Power Generation...you are a bunch of spoiled and bored PC punks trying to relive the glory days of the late 60’s. Ask Bernie, he was there and it was a mess...
