Here come the protestors..

A new group called Democracy Spring working with MoveOn and the SEIU....what can wrong?

LINK

Quote:
Next month’s Democracy Spring chaos is set to begin with a meetup on April 2 at the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. The group then plans to march across the East Coast and initiate a sit-in in Washington, DC, starting April 11.

Updates to the group’s website stress April 11 as the intended main escalation.

The updated logistics page now states: “We want to make the biggest impact on day one: Monday, April 11th. With massive participation on April 11th, we’ll have the momentum and energy to break through as a national media story and mobilize the support to carry us through the 16th and beyond.”

Newkirk confirmed that the plan is to start with a big splash on April 11.
..........................

The pro-Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) MoveOn.org has been playing a prominent role in organizing anti-Trump activism, including in the recent shutdown of the billionaire’s rally at the University of Illinois at Chicago Pavilion.

Another group endorsing Democracy Spring is the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). The DSA’s Chicago branch drove protesters to the nixed Chicago Trump event, as this reporter exposed.

The AFL-CIO, the nation’s largest labor federation, announced in a press release earlier this month it is “all in behind Democracy Spring,” perhaps indicating significant mobilization.

Yet they can't find it to protest Hillary's Super Delegates?

I guess Newkirk and his followers have not come to the realization that Billionare George Soros is funding their fun and games.

This thing carries on through April 15 and beyond. Organizers obviously aren't worried about their protesters having to file their tax returns.

That would insinuate that they actually have jobs.

Amazing how much spare time you have to denounce the wealthy and demand free stuff when you are not burdened by "work" (Work is so bourgeois)

This will be a popular spring break activity for the liberal academic crowd I bet.

Special snowflakes are going to march 139 miles from Philadelphia to DC? Good luck with that, cupcakes. 99% of them probably couldn't march five miles to the nearest Starbucks. In other news, tincture of benzoin stock prices surge.

I think they made it to Prague where they had some Kumbayas today & flapped their gums, & lit some candles or something. Maybe it's too nuanced for me; maybe they just needs jobs. Where's Jennifer Harf when you need her?

Oh, that's right, she needs a job too.
