Democratic National Convention **live commentary thread**

[Devout Centrist]

Yeah abolish the death penalty, and criminals return in our towns and cities.

They will, unless you give everyone life in prison.

I don't want criminals near me. Do you?

People committing crimes or people who have done their time?

I've got no problem with people who have paid their debt to society.

[Joe Biden is your president. Deal with it.]

Jesus that was a great speech by Ben Jealous.

[Suburbia]

Yes, I agree. End the War on Drugs. But I don't want a druggie near me at work. But them at rehab. Their trainwrecks.

I agree, lock up the people with terrible grammar. Send them to grammar rehab.

I don't like druggies. They should be mocked and laughed at. I have no sympathy for any drug user. They know what they were dealing with.

[Antonio the Sixth]

This is so utterly depressing.

[afleitch]

Someone's going to tell these hecklers to STFU in the middle of their speech and I'm going to laugh.

It will be Bernie.

It's the same with Cruz. He will be on the ballot, but he won't win.

People who commit crimes. I don't trust serial killers. Democrats need to be careful with this death penalty crap, it could cost them in the suburbs of America.

Getting rid of the death penalty doesn't mean you get to go back home if you're a serial killer.

There is such a term as "life in prison".

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Never anticipated this much butthurt in this thread.

Hey, guys: Bernie Sanders exists.  Get over it.

[Illiniwek]

Getting the platform passed without much problem is a good step.

Wait, so do you think that if the death penalty were abolished that everybody on death row would just be let out of prison? What are you talking about?

Death penalty or no death penalty, those people are not going to be back on the streets. Besides, with the delays in execution in some places, it's almost as if there is no death penalty. Many inmates stay on death row for decades.

Some guys in suits are taking away Bernie signs. Idk why, maybe it was they were sitting among Hillary supporters.

Um, yes. That's what President Obama has been doing since 2015. Releasing people like that,  it's not safe.

Nonviolent offenders aren't serial killers.

Stick to Facebook threads.

I see your problem. In your fantasy world, smoking weed gets you the death penalty.

Pretty sad that Bernie can no longer control his vicious thugs.

Did anyone see that guy adjust himself as he came out? Lol
