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

That's not how that works.

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.

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.

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?

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

Everybody needs to take a chill pill. At least give Bernie a chance to smooth things over with his speech, then let's see where things stand tomorrow.

There's some uproar about an all-gender bathrooms at the DNC. I won't be so comfortable in an all gender bathroom.

So then don't go in that bathroom. Then you won't be uncomfortable. Problem solved.

FINAL COUNT:

2842 CAPITALISM
1865 SOCIALISM
56 ABSTENTION/NOT PRESENT (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Democratic_National_Convention)

I want to take this moment to thank the democratic party for its strong ability to see reason when it comes to the idea of socialism. Tonight, the democratic party had a binary vote on which economic system is right for this country. Because of the unbound delegates, either economic system had a theoretical chance of victory. But the party voted loud and strong for capitalism, by a margin of nearly 1000 votes. While the media had projected that around 50 unbounds would vote for Socialism, only about half that number actually did. Today, the democratic party showed that the radical, unaffordable, unamerican ideas of Senator Bernie Sanders are not what this country needs. To every unbound delegate who voted for Capitalism today, Thank you. This country would be suffering without your support of the free market system.
