Title: 'See you in Philly': Anti-Clinton protesters converging on Democratic convention

(CNN) — Fueled by grievances over the party's treatment of Bernie Sanders and doubts over Hillary Clinton's progressive credentials, tens of thousands of protesters are poised to put a fragile post-primary detente to the test this week during the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

Unlike Cleveland, where scattershot demonstrations routinely dissolved among infighting and an overwhelming police presence, the protesters descending on the DNC have a more coherent slate of demands and, with a new Wikileaks release of documents that seems to show Democratic officials discussing ways to undermine Sanders' bid, freshly ignited anger at the party's handling of the nominating contest.

Now, with high heat already in the region and heavy storms on the horizon, Philadelphia is preparing for a more contentious series of showdowns than many expected even a few weeks ago. They begin on Sunday, with pro-Sanders rallies scheduled in FDR Park and Thomas Paine Plaza.

Here are five things to watch for:

1. A better organized left this time around

The promise to "#see you in Philly" has doubled as a rallying cry and threat to the Democratic establishment on progressive social media as activists seek to build support -- and numbers -- for planned protests both inside the convention and on the streets surrounding the Wells Fargo Center, where Hillary Clinton will accept the party's nomination on Thursday night.

Democracy Spring, a nonpartisan activist coalition, is asking Clinton and top party officials to push reforms that will, in the words of the group's director, Kai Newkirk, "make this the last corrupt, billionaire-dominated voter suppression-marred election in our country."

Their demands center on a "package of comprehensive democracy reforms" that would beef up voting rights protections, push for publicly funded elections, and seek to overturn Citizens United within the first 100 days of a new Democratic administration.

Clinton last week promised the Citizens United amendment would come during her first month in office, but Democracy Spring and aligned groups view the pledge with skepticism and are asking for the immediate abolition of the party's controversial superdelegate system as a down payment.

Many activists -- some willing to be arrested -- have mapped out a week of "direct actions" aimed at gumming up the convention's works with protests that could include blocking off thoroughfares used to transport delegates into and out of the arena.

2. Sanders supporters with a bone to pick

For much of the Sanders hardcore, a small but vocal group that will not vote for Clinton under any circumstances, the real enemy has always been the DNC. Philadelphia will give them an opportunity to rage against a party apparatus that they regard as actively keeping reformers like Sanders out of power.

The details revealed in a trove of hacked emails published this week by Wikileaks will only embolden and, to many, affirm their suspicions.

"We believe the masses really do want Bernie Sanders," Occupy DNC organizer Laurie Cestnick told CNN before the DNC emails were released by Wikileaks.

The rising tension was on display Saturday during a Clinton campaign event in Miami when a protester yelled "DNC leaks" and was escorted out of the venue after the candidate thanked chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz for her work.

By day's end, Wasserman Schultz's role at the convention had been significantly reduced in an effort to "keep the peace," as one Democrat put it. Still, a number of progressive groups have been chattering about a mass walkout during the proceedings.

3. Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein

Stein's campaign will be out in force seeking to pick up the support of disgruntled Sanders supporters. From Sunday through Thursday, they will spend 14-hour days in FDR Park, Philadelphia's designated protest hub, as part of the "Power Rally for Jill Stein for President." Their gatherings, according to documents made public by the city, will feature music, speakers and a massive tent, likely for registering potential Democratic party defectors.

Meanwhile, Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign national organizer Cheri Honkala will lead a march from City Hall to FDR Park on Monday after the American Civil Liberties Union brought a lawsuit against the city on the group's behalf. Honkala was Stein's running mate in 2012 and had seen her initial permit application rejected.

As a result of the compromise, ACLU of Pennsylvania deputy legal director Mary Catherine Roper told CNN the city has backed off a ban on "rush-hour" marches, which would have effectively shut down moving protests from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

4. Tension with police and city officials

"The Philadelphia police have both a policy and a history of being really hands off with protests," Roper said.

The tension, she added, was more likely to come during Black Lives Matter-related events, due in large part to "a really tense relationship between the police and the city's African-American community because of a history of over-policing and discriminatory policing."

The city, which has not revealed how many of its 6,200 officers will be assigned to the convention, plans to bring in about 160 "mutual aid" personnel from neighboring departments. As a convention host, Philadelphia was awarded more than $43 million federal dollars to cover security expenses.

5. A gigantic "joint"

Trying to spark up some excitement over their push to end pot prohibition, the Philadelphia chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws has revealed plans to march a 51-foot "joint" from City Hall to the Wells Fargo Center.

The massive inflatable tube has appeared before in New York City and Washington.


Don't bogart that joint, my friend ... pass it over to me ...

I would like to see the DemonTurd convention turn into a yuuuuge Free For All between Shitlerly Supporters, Bernie Supporters, Ghetto Rats, Muzzies, pissed off Union people, and anyone else that can throw jugs of urine, bags of feces, chairs, and wield tire tools, etc ! LOL

It would be worth it to have satellite TV again. Just fix several bags of popcorn, pour your favorite adult beverage, and enjoy.

It will be an interesting week !!

Put that on Pay-Per-View and I'm getting out my credit card.

This convention should be held at the North Pole with all the presents that are going to be offered the voters. Obama doubled the national debt (with literally nothing to show for it) and Hillary will double it again.

The north pole? No way man! Democrats is tropical folk. Philly's the right place in the right climate. Steamy, hot, africanized, riot ready. And a lot of them hate Hillary's voluminous cracker ass. It's ripe for the perfect storm of chimpouts. Who knows, George Clooney could even make an appearance.

The Bernie Sanders supporters ARE pissed; it is obvious the top people of the DEMs conspired against them. Most say they are NOT voting for the witch; they are splitting out to other parties. It means little for trump, though; most say, "Fuck Trump."

Keep dreaming, libtard.

Bernnie cult members are like the Paultards, but with a touch of socialism. It would be nice to have them all in one state and nuke the shit out of the liberal disease. I hope all the Commie Sanders "grassroots" assholes all still write that scumbag in and stick it up KILLARYS ASS, dry.

Say it, PRESIDENT TRUMP. Get use to it

Why don't you run over there in your renta-cop-patrol-car and blow your whistle on the issues? You could also use your STOP sign that you use for the wee, wittle kiddies you personally walk to to/fro elementary school.
