2016 Democratic National Convention - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - July 25-28

Well Trump didn't vote for the war in Iraq either which created more terrorism, bankrupted our country and killed thousands of American solders and 100,000's of innocent Iraq women and children.

Funny, he was in favor of the invasion before he was against it this year.

You really shouldn't be saying anything. Not only was she not convicted, but Trump has a rape of a 13 year old girl case going on right now.

Right, someone who couldn't even get a lawyer to represent her and is representing herself in a civil suit. No criminal complaints have been filed. Donald Trump has denied these allegations.

As of now, all of the information about this lawsuit comes solely from the complaint filed by "Katie Johnson," and no one has as yet located, identified, or interviewed her.


Lena Dunham admitted to molesting a child.

This is quite a difference.

After the email leak, and the shenanigans going on at the convention currently I don't think that poll will deviate all that much to be honest if the took another poll at the end of the week.

More email leaks and the hand waving of them will not help. I know some will scream "DNC DID NOTHING WRONG!" "DEA HATE TRUMP!?!?!?!??!" until the sun explodes, but the emails thing is going to be a sore spot for a party trying very hard to win back power.

The nation isn't moving left as you have failed to understand American politics.

Americans in general have always been lliberal or libertarian on many issues, so they haven't needed to move left as they have been parked on that side of the road for the last 100 years. But when it comes to economics and defense the American public leans conservative without a doubt.

This is why Democrats went centrist in the 90's to shakeoff the label of weak national security from Dukakis defeat and the looming shadow of Reagan as the Soviet Union fell.

However, the centrist message the Democrats are still trying to push with Hillary doesn't work in the new world of millennials as they not only reject Reagenism but also the Third way centrist Dems of the 90s. Remember the centriest Dems of the 90's goal was to pull Reagan Democrats back to the party and it did work at the time. But now that strategy will fail moving forward as they have positioned themselves as the establishment.

Any time the party is labeled the establishment in American politics they lose, and they lose badly.

This is complete cognitive dissonance. The country is moving left. The young are far to the left of the boomers who are slowly aging and dying out. There is no argument about this. It is happening. Period. Why do you think sanders got the overwhelming support of the young with his very left of current center message?

[Super Friendly Kitty Cat]

They are covering all their bases tonight.

[Theodarzna]

idk if I want to accuse Lena Dunham of being anything more than an insufferable cunt.

I hated her back when every media outlet was hoisting her up as the "voice of a generation."

Yea, it won't be anything of the sort. The idea that the DNC was going to, or supposed to, support a candidate who doesn't identify as a Democrat is sorta weird.

Pretending like it's one massive wound for the party to deal with is just plain dumb.

Then why are all these Democrats voting Hillary? She is literally a Republican.

How the hell are the DNC emails her fault? And what shenanigans are you talking about? Those booing at the convention are a tiny minority, that just happened to be close to the media. Those that walked out look like ridiculous spoiled children. 90% might be too high but it will stay between 75-90% and only get higher the further the campaign moves along.

lol

jesus.

[Stonecloak]

How is it going tonight. Can't watch, still terrible? any boo's?

Howard dean isn't bad. I liked the jabs at Pence.

No that was the last leader of the party you support that did that.

[Tragedia]

No dean don't do it. Calm down bruh.

[RickJamesLich]

Pyah!

Yes, they invited a noted child molester to speak, mothers of Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin who they turned into "saints", they had AG Eric Holder who gave weapons to Mexican Cartels, and just now a little person who told a story about Hillary Clinton remembering her.

Just another day of clownish DNC.


Okay, that was pretty awesome what Howard Dean did. Fucking props to that man.

[Paranoid Android]

LOL @ Dean. Say YEAAAAHHH!!

[Matchles]

How is it going tonight. Can't watch, still terrible? any boo's?

Barely any. The was a "mass walk out" by Sanders supporters. More than 90% of his delegates stayed and let a few dozen do their little tantrum.

[Crissi]

Aww Dean didn't go all the way, but that was awesome how he channeled that moment lol.

I think the expectation is that the DNC would be neutral and allow things to go without biases or collusion. The perception of the DNCLeaks is that the Party and the Clinton campaign were more or less the same organ.

It will be a problem because its easy to say "Look, crooked hillary."
