Reddit finally got out of their mother's basement. I'm so proud of them.

I tried to tell it true when we put up joke candidates like Bernie and Hillary, but nooooo, the Republicans are so much worse Roll Eyes

Literally hundreds of upstanding politicians, and we put up Crooked and a cult leader as the only two choices.

"Ours is the party of unity and not division" I don't think so after tonight.
Just like yours, with Ted Cruz refusing to endorse Trump?
The Democratic base is far more divided than what the opinions of the party elites would suggest.
The polls dont say that at all though.  Point to the reverse being true..
The polls predicted Prime Minister Milliband and Mayor Bradley too.
True, yet with every example you throw out, I can give 10 where they were right.

I wonder what the religious makeup of the 2016 DNC delegates is.

The difference is ours is truly a vocal minority, whereas the Republican side is legitimately split something like 40% nationalist, 35% religious 25% establishment.
We've been like that since 1992, though. If the GOP was in as much trouble as the Democrats are right now, Ted Cruz's delegates from his own home state would be cheering him instead of booing and heckling him. They all reluctantly got on the Trump Train. Doesn't seem to be happening here.

Probably about 40% Satanists.

Malloy's a known dick. I wonder if he'll take on the hecklers over the booing if it occurs. He can't be that dumb, can he?

Remember something else too, most of these people are diehards who don't like Hillary already, and were never going to vote for her.  Most of the supporters are not like that, unlike what you want to believe.

McCaskill, Donnelly, Tester, Heitkamp, and Manchin should probably be shaking right now. The far left progressives don't like centrist Democrats. In 2018, they may be done.
The type of Democrat that likes Manchin voted for Sanders in the primary, so I wouldn't be too worried about their primary prospects.

The average Bernie voter settled for Hillary, and after this DNC email leak and the events of today, you'll see that passion reignited. I know this because I was a Ron Paul supporter four years ago, and I was all #Ready4Romney until the convention brouhaha over the Maine delegation. After that, I was behind Johnson and frankly wanted Obama to win as punishment.

Insurgent campaigns are insurgencies. You can drive ISIS out of Tikrit, but you aren't going drive them out of Iraq the next day.

Forget about the super delegates, we need to end caucuses and open primaries. That way independents don't get to vote and another insurgency like Sanders never happens again.

90% of Sanders voters has nothing to do with these fringes. Please don't use collective responsibility logic here,

Anyone else supremely frustrated with the selfish Bernie children disrupting, booing, and heckling the entire way?  Where is security?  Where were their parents when they were growing up?  At this rate they're going to boo Michelle, Elizabeth, and finally Bernie himself.  I'm basically feeling road rage right now.

Why do I have a feeling a huge chunk of those booing will be gone by the day Hillary speaks. Once Hillary has the nomination, I hope they give up and leave.

It's more about the fact that their candidate didn't win.

Yes. Clinton supporters should stop playing saints, or abandon their entitlement mentality (zomgz how they dared oppose The Hillary?). I supported Sanders during primary, now I'm hoping for Clinton victory, but, God, some of your attitudes are making me sick. So yeah, continue to push them away, but don't complain later.

Why not push the people in this crowd away.  They are never going to vote for us.  They are nihilist assholes who want to burn down the system.  Nothing more.

Nihilist? You're the dude who became a Democrat to piss his parents off, and you're calling Bernie supporters white nihilists?
