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.

Are those in the “almost an audience” playing games and sending selfies on their cell phones, or videoing/photographing the speakers?

Should have ganged up closer to the stage and then have the media take a picture to show how crowded it was.

Even the empty chairs don’t want their pockets picked by these scammers.

“I hereby announce the nominee for the Presidency for the Democratic Party in 2020—”Empty Chair”.

“Empty Chair” best represents the value and mission of today’s Democratic Party.

Empty chairs have a right to citizenship, free health care, free college education, free housing and free food. Empty chairs won’t pollute our environment.

Shout it out—Empty Chair, Empty Chair, Empty Chair!”

My kid’s high school auditorium is way bigger than that.

Assuming the audience includes some staffers and media, it’s the picture loudly screams to the candidates “NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU.”

everyone keeps saying no one showed up to see Warren, but how do we know they didn’t show up to not see any of the other candidates as well? ;-)
