The clintons were largely responsible for steering the party centrist (welfare reform, rather corporate, etc), which props to them wins elections. That's reality of the matter even if we can argue the exact location of markers on the field.
They replaced the Bernie delegates' seats with seat fillers (to where Bernie del's couldn't even get back to their seats if they wanted to the next day).
So you watched the shitshow convention, didn't you Perk? What the "Bernie bot" said was absolutely true for anyone who saw it. Every seat was filled. They replaced the Bernie delegates' seats with seat fillers (to where Bernie del's couldn't even get back to their seats if they wanted to the next day). That is pathetic, but at least the movie set looked good. "Our party is unified, look everyone!"
Speedy's post consisted of strung together hype and outright bull.
...
At most, a couple hundred walked out.
Yet no one seemed aware that hundreds of Bernie Sanders delegates planned to walk out of the Democratic National Convention in unison Tuesday, at the precise moment party unity was supposed to reach a crescendo.
...
The several hundred delegates stormed out of the convention hall before quietly sitting down and occupying the press tent, aware of how to maximize their leverage. Police surrounded the tent, and refused to let anyone in or out until the situation was resolved.
That surprise was by design, but also a product of the fact that the walkout came together in only the final minutes, according to interviews with more than a dozen organizers. Word spread through various delegations by word of mouth and text message like a wave during the roll call vote of the states.
...
Paranoid about being discovered, walkout organizers kept more prominent groups at bay...
..
Eventually, they organized themselves in several secret Slack channels and Facebook groups, the largest of which had over 1,250 delegate members.
Use your eyes Perky. Ever heard of something passing the eye test (a phrase commonly used in sports)? The convention didn't pass mine, it was packed to the brim. Go google the images. You shouldn't need someone to tell you that it should be obvious that hundreds of seats would've been empty. They weren't.Link or die, Speedy. Your hysteria is showing.
You guys gotta stop taking Speedy seriously. He's clearly working for Clinton, provoking you guys to keep singing Dem hymns.
Right back at you
NBC News :
How Sanders Delegates Organized a Walkout Under Everyone's Nose
Unless you were there, you don't know how many walked out.
Keep spinning.
"Angry and frustrated with the Democratic Party, hundreds of supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Tuesday staged a walkout at the Democratic National Convention over what they claim was rigged primary process that wrongly handed the party nomination to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton."
So what is shady? Just drunk?
How do you feel that the DNC is getting higher ratings than the RNC? Also, how do you feel about the fact that polling after Trump's speech gave it the lowest favorable ratings of any acceptance speech that's been measured?
I thought it was pretty amusing, haha.
is it popular because people want to hear the message or because they are waiting for the next shit show moment with protesters and or email leaks?
It will be interesting to see how Klinton does tonight, I presume the media will spin it as if its the best thing ever.

On this we agree. The history of the modern Democratic party who were continuing the policies of FDR were being push to the side when they showed up. I don't even want to get into the SLC crap. Still the alternative is unthinkable especially this time around. I think I could of actually lived with the idea of Romney being president, but I just can't even grasp what people are thinking with Trump possibly being president.
To me, it's sad they parade mothers of thugs (Brown) who died breaking the law, as an example that policing needs to change. Like they're some kind of martyr. Some terrible injustice was done to him. And nobody has a problem with this. Using BLM in a political race exposes a few things.
Is there a situation in which it was evaluated as being good where you would accept that as true?

I didn't see his post, but I for one am glad the DNC is getting high ratings.
That way people get to see stuff like this :
Here's the empty seats :

Not like Hillary has sacrificed anything either.
