From WSJ

Philadelphia has approved four demonstration permits in support of Sen. Bernie Sanders at the July Democratic National Convention — including a large rally planned near the convention’s epicenter.

One of the permits is for an event consisting of four days of all-day rallies at FDR Park in support of Mr. Sanders. The city said it expects 30,000 participants, and organizers said in an interview they hope turnout will be much higher.

The park is adjacent to the Wells Fargo Center, where many of the Democratic National Convention events will be held — raising the possibility of a large demonstration in support of Mr. Sanders just steps away from where delegates will officially select the Democratic nominee. A growing number of Democrats are concerned the convention could turn out to be divisive and disorderly due to activities planned by Sanders supporters.

The city has also granted permits to three smaller demonstrations at Thomas Paine Plaza, a few miles from the Wells Fargo Center. The city says it expects 2,000 to 3,000 participants at those events.

This is going to go as gently as Nevada did.What are they going to do? Protest against a clear winner? 

Like they have the right to hold rallies for support but if anyone thinks they're going to go smoothly they're being delusional :deadbanana:

Someone hand out participation awards please. I think they're not used to simply not winning something. This very vocal minority of Bernie supporters feel like they must protest everything. Tea Party 2.0

The last time there was a demonstration outside the Dem. convention was in 1968 when there was an unpopular war going on. :rip:

This is too much :rip: Who's willing to bet there'll be scores of Trump-supporting plants raising hell claiming to be on Bernie's side? :deadbanana: 

I'm literally done :rip: the entitlement is beyond the pale.

I typed out an essay of an explanation, but honestly at this point why even bother?

We know how this story ends.

It ends with ya'll standing in line, begrudgingly voting for Hilary because you know what the alternative is, and that it's in the best interest of the whole world to not mess this up for the rest of us.

See ya'll in November, bring a sweater.

Don't tell them what to do! They'll stomp their feet and not do it out of spite!

We could have a discussion about this, but I feel like it'd be a waste of our internet bandwidth :sis:

I guess, good for them? I mean, it's their right as citizens to organize a "peaceful" demonstration  

It ain't gonna change much, if anything, but whatever helps them feel better, I guess. 

I just can't wait for **** to calm down after the shitstorm that'll happen once Hil gets the nom.
