Democratic National Convention thread

[agent00f]

If you notice, I said Brown. But you already know that. You know, the guy who assaulted a sore attendant and stole items. Then assaulted a cop and got himself killed. Only to be hailed as a martyr by BLM and now Clinton.

I've said before that there are plenty of wrongly killed people by cops, unfortunately. Use those people. And use all races of people if you really want to make the point of police violence. There is no need to bring people up there that are mothers of criminals, who died by actions none other than their own.

There's always the last person who still doesn't get it, so let's elaborate on the mechanics.

When the DNC puts up some figure like the kid who doesn't want mommy to be deported or mother whose son got killed, they're sympathetic characters. However that in itself is not quite effective. For example, if party A claims it's more worthy than B because it'll treat various people better, why should someone on the fence believe them? Unless of course B completely shits on said people thus driving home that point.

For example if I were planning the event, let's crank it past 10 with some sexual harassment or even rape victims, and then you'd have the pcgeek11 types coming out of the woodwork (or maybe even the Don himself) to shit all over them & lock up that female swing vote.

I LOVED honest to the bone, plain spoken Joe Biden saying that Trump saying, "He cares about the middle class. Give me a break. That's a bunch of malarkey!"

And you think Joe and the Dems care about the middle class?

 

[bozack]

lol @ all the sheep getting misty eyed over Hussein.

Oh and Bernie said fuck you to the cronie dems and left the party.

yup such a circle jerk in here now I feel like I should mail some folks some towels.

pretty soon obummer and biden will be out, thank goodness.

The laugh is the insinuation any of these folks actually have concern over and or can relate to the current middle class.

Whachu talkin' 'bout, Willis? Bernie was an independent before, and he's an independent still.

wow, you guys still think Obama is a muslim terrorist, huh?

Pathetic.

 

[dawheat]

Joe? Absolutely. The rest? When you're in comparison to a man with 0 empathy and has lived a life where it's clear he has never cared about anyone else, it's easy to look good in comparison.

It's astounding that the Republican party has let this incredibly winnable election get to this condition as the strongest argument for a Democratic president is not Trump.

 

[boomerang]

Impressive speech by President Clinton, but this is his element and he excels in such moments. His speech resonated well to the audience but sounded at times too much like a resume review. He's also not looking too well. His hands were definitely trembling at times and the biggest observation I heard from those who saw it with me was how much makeup he was wearing.

Just curious, what impressed you? Did you think that what you heard was truth? I understand that it may not make any difference to you whether any of it was or wasn't.

I ask because it was all typical Clinton interpretation of what actually transpired. It was all spin. Nothing that he said was truthful. Now, maybe after all these years the Clinton machine has told the lies often enough that even they believe them I don't know. But why accept what people that are lying say as truth?

Why do people on such a mass scale choose to believe rhetoric that is undeniably untrue? That's a rhetorical question.

RNC should learn from the DNC, just rig the whole thing so your chosen candidate wins.


The Dems as a party don't give two shits about the middle class, the just claim they do.

NAFTA, TPP, Illegal Immigration, all things that work to help destroy middle class jobs.

Then theres the typical liberal smugness; you work in a trade they don't like: construction, mining, manufacturing, and the Dems look down on you, like your some kind of moron, because you lack that liberal arts English degree that they used to get a job at Starbucks.

In the military the dems look down on you as being stupid. A cop, the dems look at you as some sort of racist black people murdering KKK member.

The Dems aren't for the middle class, the dems for their choose protected classes.

Bernie has left the buil... err party! Or to quote Trump: "Bye bye!"

DNC paying people $50/day to fill empty seats because they are "unified", remember? hahahah

Clinton campaign has a Philly craigslist ad for actors/seat-fillers @ $50/day! Has no supporters and underpays! https://twitter.com/Sammyboy1216/status/758413273700139008?ref_src=twsrc^tfw

Apparently, there is an actual place where people might register themselves for jobs such as “seat-fillers,” and it is provided by the website Seatfillers, which also has put up a page for curious readers with many questions.

Seat filler admits it:

How do they vet a seat filler? This is dangerous with the president in the building. Ugh, only the DNC would treat a convention like a movie set to try and keep appearances.

You realize that was most likely done by Bernie supporters after the walkout mocking the convention by using "tactics" that were part of the DNC email leak right? Anyone can post an ad on Craigslist for literally anything.

Then you didn't read the article. Why are all of the Bernie supporters' seats filled now? There were zero empty seats which makes no sense unless people were paid to fill them.

 

[MomentsofSanity]

There are tens of thousands of people in attendance at the DNC nightly. The supposed "ad" ask for 700. That number seem right to you if it's replacing the tens of thousands of Sanders Supporters?

And you don't think the DNC would be able to find new people who would like to attend without hiring paid actors? Really?

But you're right. Someone put something on Craigslist so it must be real.

No, it's real because anyone with eyes can see the Bernie seats were filled. Use your eyes. Or watch the videos of witnesses actually there who are saying the same thing. Or watch the video of the seat filler admit he just got his credentials that day.

The DNC gotta make that movie set look good.

 

[yllus]

Political parties are private organizations (at least as I understand it). They can set the rules to whatever they want. And, honestly, wouldn't you rather the Republicans had rigged the rules a little to keep Trump out? I have absolutely no problem with a party doing some candidate filtering; if you do, vote for a different party.

 

[Pens1566]

Meh, the highest # I've seen reported as "walk outs" was "more than a hundred". I've also seen it referred to as dozens. Also, lol @ craigslist.

Not exactly something I'd be beating my chest about when the cleveland arena was almost half empty to begin with. Not to mention most high profile republicans stayed away like the place was an ebola factory.

 

[SP33Demon]

Except Bernie had to apply to be a Democrat in order to run as a Democrat. lol

All I can say is that I hope they properly vetted these seat fillers, I can see things going very wrong if they let in the wrong people just to keep up appearances for their movie set. Especially with people like the president and presidential candidates around. Knowing the DNC, they probably didn't considering they couldn't even secure their own email/voicemail servers.

Obama is an incredible orator but I felt Biden gave the better speech. I find it ironic that Clinton becomes the heir of hope and change, a candidate he once described as likeable enough and who he criticized with attack vectors that are still applicable today.

I also felt he didn't really have a strong response to Trump. Yes Trump is a bigot and a buffoon and all of those things, but his message is resonating with some people because there is a sentiment that things aren't great in America or the world right now. Sanders understood this. Are things better than under Bush? In some regards yes, in others, not so much. Unity and diversity and inclusion and lofty idealism are all noble things, none of them address the problems that the next President will inevitably slam into.

 

[JSt0rm]

Its time to reveal that I get paid $50 a day to be a democrat. We all do. Its the only way anyone would be a democrat - the party of secret muslim communist atheists. We are all crisis actors waiting for our chance to be in a fake mass shooting.

Trump has no plan. None. "trust me" is not a plan. The hammered him on this over and over. It felt like a comedy central roast.

No he didn't, you careless, low information BS spewer.

Unlike elsewhere in the world, joining the two major parties isn’t contingent upon membership fees or an application process. Party leaders also don’t have the power to say someone isn’t a Democrat or a Republican.

So political affiliation in the United States is a matter of self-identification, in both the governing system and the party organizations, experts said. That allows Sanders and other elected officials to be flexible.

When asked if he would officially join the party on April 30, 2015, when he announced his candidacy, Sanders said, "No, I am an independent who is going to be working with the —" cutting himself off mid-sentence.

In November, Sanders announced that he was full-fledged Democrat and declared as a Democrat in New Hampshire. But, as we previously noted, he’s still calling himself an independent in some cases, so it’s unclear how committed Sanders is to any label. The Sanders campaign did not get back to us.

Experts said it probably doesn't matter to his candidacy.

"The freedom of association part of the First Amendment protects political parties. If they want to nominate a non-member, they can do that," said Richard Winger, an expert on ballot access.

I hope HRC retakes 5-6 point lead so Speedy and LK can disappear like cockroaches when the lights go on.

Someone pointed out that his issues page still has references to Marco Rubio in it.

$50? They give you $50 a day? All I got was a hearty handshake and a free sub to Commie Kenyon Times. I need a better agent.

I think trump thinks once he becomes pres he can do 2 things.

1. Review any "problem" and just change it by himself without needing congress or the courts - like a dictator OR a CEO.

2. Make the vp do all the normal "mundane" work of pres.
