Yeah that shyt was ridiculous tbh. I somewhat hate the fact I find myself agreeing with republicans on some issues. Immigration being one. Though at the same time Obama is considered deporter in chief. The rhetoric isn't matching the actions there and this is one case I don't mind being told it's raining while you piss on my leg.
I just saw a clip of some of the DNC
Having that spanish little girl up there
" I fear for my mommy and my daddy being taken away"
No shame what so ever from these folks
Pandering and heart string pulling
Border and immigration laws are not oppressive and serve a purpose to maintain a stable society. I believe this more on principle as I don't think the US in particular will collapse completely with more illegals than before. But at the same time don't try to sell me some bullshyt that it is ok and to think enforcing immigration law is a sin worse than murder. It's bullshyt and that shyt I saw last night was disgusting. I honesty don't understand the purpose of it. Like I said, I've never met anyone who is pro illegal immigrant. Maybe at most parroted tepidly the rhetoric of how it's mean or something.

There Are Actual Bernie Supporters in Philadelphia Who Prefer Trump to Clinton
We asked them: Why?
By Aymann Ismail
PHILADELPHIA—We visited the demonstrations around Philadelphia on Monday to ask a question of the (largely Bernie Sanders supporting) protesters: Who'd be a better president: Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump?* To our amazement, several of these putative left-wingers said they'd prefer the Donald to HRC.

These ads work with the Latino community that's why they're being shown.
Black people want to be told police officers are trying to assassinate us one by one
White people want to be told cops are being targeted as victims and Dems are stirring up race wars.
Its appealing to emotion while you see through these the voting block that this is targeting attaches to it. And it works.

When you are white in America you have the privilege to not care about who gets elected because perception isn't the same for minorities. Bernie supporters choosing Trump over Hillary or not caring if Trump wins even if they don't vote don't have to worry about being a minority that feels an entire country has turned their back on you.

Hecklers for Trump
By David Leonhardt
For at least a decade, the Democrats have been acting like the more mature, reality-based political party.
They have avoided damaging Congressional primaries that give awaywinnable seats and tear down their own stars. They have not engaged in big, silly conspiracy theories – about, say, skewed polls or global warming. They have been willing to compromise to advance their cause.
The party has much to show for it: a health-care expansion that had eluded the country for decades; L.G.B.T.-rights victories that came faster than once seemed fathomable; the first serious attacks against climate change; a slew of new taxes on the top 1 percent; and the prospect of the most liberal Supreme Court in a generation.
The start of the Democratic convention offers reason to wonder whether the party is in the early stages of a new phase – a self-defeating phase in which a large segment of liberals would rather lose than compromise.
Let’s be clear: The hecklers in Philadelphia are doing Donald J. Trump’s work. They are his allies, no matter how much they may believe otherwise and no matter how honest their passion. Their attempts to inject chaos into the convention will undermine the single best opportunity that Hillary Clinton has to make her case to voters.
Whatever their motives, the Bernie-or-Busters are actually working to keep Citizens United as the law of the land. They are working to cut taxes on the rich. They are working to take health insurance away from families that have only recently received it. They are working for Big Coal and against the climate. They are doing the bidding of a candidate who has demeaned prisoners of war and the disabled, described Mexicans as rapists, referred to women as barnyard animals, called for banning Muslims from entering the country and cozied up to Russia’s authoritarian president.
No doubt, many of the protesters come to their anger in good faith and are expressing it productively. (And, no doubt, others are mostly interested in calling attention to themselves – or, in fact, support Mr. Trump. “Maybe he wouldn’t be so bad,” one small-business owner at a pro-Sanders rally on Monday said.) They are angry about inequality and about a nominating process in which the Democratic establishment sided with Clinton. But there is nothing new about a party establishment backing the favorite. John McCain, Gary Hart, Jerry Brown and even Barack Obama all had occasions to resent their party’s establishment.
This year, the race was simply not close enough to be decided by party maneuvering. Mrs. Clinton beat Bernie Sanders by 3.8 million votes – a whopping 57 percent to 43 percent margin. “Let me be clear,” Symone D. Sanders, a top campaign aide (but no relation) to Mr. Sanders, tweetedyesterday. “NO ONE STOLE THIS ELECTION! Team Sanders we did AMAZING WORK. But we lost. It’s a hard reality for some.”
In other ways, of course, Team Sanders won. It moved Mrs. Clinton’s position to the left on trade, the minimum wage and college financing. The Sanders campaign “transformed” the political landscape, Ms. Sanders proudly noted in another tweet yesterday. When Bill Clinton speaks tonight, I expect he’ll present an especially striking embodiment of the party’s leftward shift.
There is still plenty of work for Sanders supporters to do. They can pressure Mrs. Clinton to hold fast to her campaign positions. They can identify and campaign for candidates who believe in a more radical liberalism than the Clintons or the Obamas. And they can do everything within their power to prevent a Trump presidency – a presidency with the potential to be more damaging to the country than any in our lifetimes.
If Democrats need a reminder of the importance of principled compromise, they need look back only 16 years. Then, a few million voters decided that Al Gore was no different from George W. Bush and voted for Ralph Nader instead. Those votes made it possible for Mr. Bush to win the White House.
How’d that work out for the liberal cause?

- If Hillary Clinton is elected president, the most important difference between Bill Clinton and the presidential spouses who came before him won’t just be that he is a man, and a former president. It will be something else entirely: his admitted and well-documented flaws.
– Kate Andersen Brower in an Op-Ed article, “Bill Clinton: A Perfectly Imperfect First Gentleman”
flotus smashed on em..
Reflecting on raising two daughters under the glare that comes with living in the White House, Michelle Obama explained: "We challenge them to ignore those who challenge their father's citizenship or faith. We insist that the hateful language from public figures on television does not represent the true nature of this country. We explain when someone is cruel or acts like a bully, you don't stoop to that level. No. Our motto is: When they go low, we go high."
She didn’t need to dignify Trump by naming him. No one had any doubt exactly who she was talking about with these five soundbites:
beautiful, intelligent, elegant, strong black woman. awesome role model. trump knows better than to let her name escape his crusty parched lips with anything other than respect.

- "When you have the nuclear codes at your fingertips, and the military in your command, you can't make snap decisions, you can't have thin skin and a tendency to lash out."
- "I want a president with a record of public service, someone whose life's work shows our children that we don't chase fame and fortune for ourselves."
- "I want a president who will teach our children that everyone in this country matters. A president who truly believes in the vision that our founders put forth all those years ago, that we are all created equal."
- "And when crisis hits, we don't turn against each other. No, we listen to each other.”

I'm interested in how bill does tonight. It's interesting because the party is significantly further to the left than where it was since he's left in office(2000 is not THAT long ago). To the point where a big amount of his agenda and policies are either completely panned by the left or at worst mixed. He owned in 2012 but even that seems like ages ago.
Compare that to a Ronald Reagan who left office in 89 but the GOP is still preaching the Reagan doctrine over 25 years later(heck even some democrats Stan him). Mike pence saying he became a republican after hearing Reagan speak, ain't nobody at the DNC saying that about Bill.
I always felt he's gonna be bitter because Obama will be remembered as the Reagan of the dems and not him.

What a load of crap. Clinton will always be remembered for presiding over a time of peace and prosperity. Rethugs cite Reagan because he's the only worthwhile figure within recent memory revered on there side. Who else? Dole? Romney? Gingrich? Dems for Bill, Trill, Obama, Ted Kennedy, etc.
In an election where 2 to possibly 3 SC seats could be up for grabs what good is "sending a message" if once its received you cant do anything for 25 years? Send your message in 2020, dont hand every form of government to the republicans now and give them the power to fukk you over for 25 years.
