Would a Bernie Caucus at Netroots Nation Interest Anyone?

Meaning, where we discuss convention and beyond?

Just getting a read on who is going and if it's of interest.

Thanks!

I went to NN in Detroit. I was not impressed. Lots of chatter, no go. It was nice being able to visit the river on such a beautiful day.

TV stations. WDIV I think. It is the Detroit skyline looking at it from the Windsor side of the river.

The Detroit TV station that posted it said it was sunrise. It is a great photo.

At one time, I really wanted to go, but my appetite for socializing with people who have done everything to alienate me from them destroyed any desire to attend.

Still, I would hope that those who will attend and who are Bernie supporters would caucus there. I hope you can make this hpapen Jonathan. Good luck!

The ones who stomp through and over everyone at dk won't talk to you anyway. They are a pretty cliquey bunch. I did meet Don in Midwest and enjoyed that. I also spent some time with Boothie, and Perengrine Kate is a very nice lady.

Probably won't go. Never have yet.Especially if Little Orange Trolls are allowed to participate.

Should someone besides me organize a Netroot Nations For Berniebros event?

Maybe support has changed. Whatever. The connection to TOP is too strong for me to bother with it.

I guess they would have speakers like Sanders, Rev. Barber, Dr. Cornel West, Tulsi Gabbard and all those who supported the Sanders campaign over there. Then a caucus would really make sense.

But I have difficulties to believe that those will show up, when Sanders is described by a yuuge chunk of commenters on TOP the way he is, derogatorily.

I mean, may be some attitude adjustments might be in order over there. It's a shame that serious people on that site are pulled down with that "Dreck".

NN is too close to dailykos to not be affected by what happened on the site.

there there's absolutely no reason to go. Does anybody have a sense of what it is going to be: an HRC rah-rah session, or an actual discussion of what people of good conscience are to do post-coronation? I ask for informational purposes only.

Rep. O'Malley. In fact, it Black Lives Matter interrupting both when they tried to speak that first got BLM MSM attention.

That said, I don't see why Sanders wouldn't be at NN 2016 in St. Louis July 14-17. It would be one last chance to get his message out before the convention.

I guess I start to be brainwashed by some C99p comments. Ok, let's see, if he comes and what will happen. Of course, if that would be the case, I would want Sanders supporters to go and caucus over actions to take, in case he is not nominated.

NN will not be BERNIE friendly
It wasn't Bernie friendly last year
In fact it was at NN that the meme "Bernie has a race problem" was rolled out. And it is still a thing over at TOP. and TOP is just an echo chamber for the entire of the "NN"

So why would anyone who supports Bernie attend this years NN ?

Serious question.
