Democratic National Convention **live commentary thread**

[Illiniwek]

I'm amazed that some of you haven't wished me death from lung cancer. But then again, violence is more of a Bernie trait then a Hillary one as the primaries show.

Damn, I wish I was in Tally. I'd go across the street to my local liquor store where IDs aren't required and get a $10 bottle of champagne.

Wow you underage drink? What a rebel...

I think you have more to worry about then insulting me.

There's always time for someone like you.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

If I'm not mistaken, not one white person has taken the stage so far.

already a better convention than the republicans'!

The color guard was actually entirely white, for whatever it's worth. I was seeing a lot of Alt-right tweets about how they were surprised that the color guard wasn't comprised of surviving Tuskegee airmen.

Hey, make all the room you want, doesn't hurt me none.

Steny Hoyer just won my award for the scariest looking Congressman. Of course he'll never top Robert Byrd...

Yikes, Sanders delegates boo when Sanders himself says "We have got to defeat Donald Trump and we have got to elect Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine."

He needs to get real with them. Take off the kiddie gloves and tell them not to be children. He needs to get personal and emotional and explain why it is so important to him why Donald Trump can't be elected.

This is a clusterf-ck. I totally overestimated the sanity of his supporters, which I didn't think was possible. If Hillary loses the general, it's at least partly on Bernie. He helped create this mess.

If Hillary Clinton loses it will be Hillary Clinton's fault. She could have offered an olive branch long ago.

You're kidding. Their positions are like, 95% similar. These people are fools.

And the sad thing is, the ones who became delegates were obviously the most passionate among them. Not good.

And of course CNN has Reince Priebus on to comment. Where were the major Democratic surrogates when sh-t hit the fan at the RNC?

Well-known arm of the RNC: CNN!

Election seasons make people think some odd things.

Seems like this has opened his eyes. Hoping for a high-energy speech from him tonight.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Did he just fumble saying LBGT? LOL

Uh, DWS appeared live on CNN from the convention floor. That is part of convention tradition.

We're witnessing the birth of the Green Tea Party.

Is there a correct order to the letters? If so, I often butcher it. Sometimes I say LGBT. Sometimes LBGT. Sometimes LTGB.

That was actually four years ago. Good times.

[Bojack Horseman]

Are they really going to boo at the end of every speech?

[Suburbia]

I wonder what percentage of DNC delegates are white? We heard about an all white RNC.

No one gave a s--t about Roseanne Barr.

Millions of ABC Viewers did twenty years ago did.

What a disaster, a nightmare for Clinton.

I think since its become more popular to add a Q to the end, its become a bit harder to say.

Exactly, but some people will always exaggerate.

LGBT is the standard way AFAIK.

It already existed. Now it's just going out with a bang and a bunch of boos to the only people they could've allied with to get anything done.

[NOVA Green]

Chaos ensures whenever the name "Hillary Clinton" is uttered. Jeez.

Gotta throw'em out, that's the only way they'll get the message

If you boot 46% of the party, then you get the boot in November...

Just sayin'.... unlike the Republican Party we don't act like a bunch of jack-booted thugs when it comes to suppressing dissent and freedom of speech (RE stories from the "Cruz Underground" at the RNC).

Passions are high today, and hopefully the lineup tonight and Bernie himself will be able to chill this out before we roll into the rest of the week.

[Fusionmunster]

I swear, if they boo Elijah Cummings I'm gonna scream...
