Official 2016 Democratic National Convention Thread

[No1]

What I don't get is why HRC supporters can't help but throw shade at Sanders supporters. Let them people grieve and stop trying to dismiss them like they don't have legitimate points. Remember, despite HRC winning, the majority of Dems supporters agreed more with his platform.

But lastly, never become this emotionally attached to any candidate:

Robinhood hat b? This is why I laugh at this Bernie Bros bullshyt. The typical young Bernie supporter is the activist types (regardless of race) that was doing shyt in the Dakotas like apologizing to native americans for the genocide. Cats were OD apologetic unless you were white. It was so OD .

No she doesn't. Young votes have been historically unreliable voting block to rely on. That's why Bernie isn't the nominee

So Hillary doesn't need young voters to turn out?

I thought Hillary supporters were supposed to be the politically astute ones

 

[JahFocus CS]

the lack of balls that democrats have is astounding.

Republicans might be insane but the one value that they have is that they're willing to fight for the shyt they believe in no matter how retarded it may be while progressives are always on some p*ssyfoot "b..b..b but if we stand up for our values something bad will happen " type shyt.They spit in the establishment's face and fight until they get what they want done while progressives are good little soldiers hoping that they'll get their chance one day.

That's why I'm basically done with all these clowns. I respect the hell out of the hard right, they fight.

Basically anyone can become a delegate.

Trump open to campaign finance reform

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ing-to-headline-events-for-a-big-money-group/

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence have indicated that they are open to appearing at events for a super PAC seeking to raise at least $100 million, a reversal of Trump's staunch opposition to big-money groups throughout the GOP primaries.

Trump and his running mate have both expressed willingness to headline fundraisers for Rebuilding America Now, according to Ken McKay, the group's chief strategist. Such appearances are permitted by the Federal Election Commission, as long as the candidates do not solicit more than $5,000.

The commitment by the Republican ticket comes amid a flurry of signals to supporters that the campaign has blessed the super PAC, one of a half-dozen entities that have been jockeying to be recognized as the main pro-Trump vehicle. That dynamic has confused donors, who have held back from writing large checks because they were uncertain which group could be trusted — and whether Trump even wanted them to support such organizations.

But this week, it became clear that Rebuilding America Now, which was founded by Trump friend Tom Barrack, is the vehicle of choice in the view of the Trump campaign. Pence offered an explicit statement of support for the group that was shared during a presentation to several dozen donors at the Ritz-Carlton Wednesday. "Supporting Rebuilding America Now is one of the best ways to stop Hillary Clinton and help elect Donald Trump our next president," read a statement from the Indiana governor that was displayed during a PowerPoint presentation, according to McKay. In addition, Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort — a close friend of Barrack — called into the event to register his endorsement of the group's efforts.

Such a nod amounts to a dramatic change in position for Trump, who made disdain of big-money politics a central part of his pitch during the primary contest, railing against super PACs that can accept unlimited contributions from individuals and corporations. He called them horrible and corrupting.

"I have disavowed all Super PACs, requested the return of all donations made to said PACs, and I am calling on all presidential candidates to do the same," Trump said in a statement in October, distancing himself from a super PAC that had connections to his campaign. "The character of our country is only as strong as our leaders."

Trump ain't reforming shyt, especially since all his Supreme Court choices are perfectly fine with Citizens United.

Older people voted for Hillary because they view the Clinton's as royalty and the best extension of Obama's policies.

The younger gen under 45 isn't as attached to that so she's gonna have some work to do to bring them out in November.

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

I'm swinging back towards voting for Trump.

Real-life Lex Luthor

I've been rolling with Bernie since day one and really not feeling Clinton at all. Even still I feel she is a better choice than any right winger

 

[El Bombi]

I told y'all those hipsters will be at the RNC in 20 years.

That Cave Bytch on MSNBC will be a RNC delegate in the future.

 

[se1f_made]

I agree but what so many fail to realize is it was hard as fukk for barack to get past her 8 years ago. He ran a perfect gameplan with no real hiccups.

That clinton coalition and stranglehold over democratic party is strong.

Agreed, bern crew gotta take the L for not getting their message to the masses. Sure I'm gonna sound ignorant but I wasn't fully aware of berns message until I saw his breakfast club interview. Most of the uninformed older black folks thought the Clinton name was synonymous with how good things were in the early/mid 90s...little do they know that slick Willie was pimpin us the whole time

I don't care at all for incrementalism or liberalism so this system is wicked and needs to go, either by us moving beyond it (preferable) or it simply collapsing. I think Trump gets us closer to the latter. Hillary extends the life of the system.
