Despite the mainstream media’s repeated assertions that the Bernie Sanders movement is now a thing of the past, enthusiasm from his base only seems to be growing, based on the overwhelming number of people who flocked to his rally in Sacramento this Monday night.
Supporters lined up for over four hours to see Senator Sanders outside Bonney Field — some of them even longer. The following video by Our Voice Media shows the massive scope of the line, as the videographers take several minutes to drive from one end of the line to the other.
Somewhere between 15,000 and 20,000 people were estimated to have
been packed inside the stadium, with more than 10,000 more continuing to
wait outside.
The hashtag #BernieInSacramento quickly exploded onto the top trends on Twitter, and yet the mainstream national media once again chose to ignore the massive influx of support and unprecedented turnout. Only local outlets covered the rallies, and local Sacramento NBC affiliate KCRA-3 only attached the following picture to their article, obviously taken before the rally as people were still entering the field:

Of course, Bernie supporters are growing used to operating in a total
media blackout. Spirits at the rally remained high, however,
as attendees cheerfully destroyed the white male “Bernie Bro” stereotype
by flooding social media with pictures of Bernie supporters of every
race, gender, and age displaying their patriotism together.
any other way #BernieInSacramento
This campaign is fueled by small donors and smiles. We wouldn't have it any other way #BernieInSacramento
