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

[Super Friendly Kitty Cat]

Got news for you Meryl Streep. Hillary Clinton will not be our first female President.

Nope, not going to happen.

I can't wait to see the tears, oh god the tears.

[Theodarzna]

ugh Meryl Streep, not Meryl Streep..... FUCKING NOT MERYL STREEP!

"More perfect" isn't a thing.

[Stonecloak]

Our rule was only discuss religion and politics inside the home.

That's a good one, if the family can discuss in a healthy reasonable manner. Mine can't, well, about half can, but the other half can't handle any opposing opinions. So we just don't go there. Mostly just because we don't see each other often, and it's best we just try and have a good time.

[Theodarzna]

That it is. I was born in Shrewsbury in Shropshire and most of the extended family lives their or in Wem.

I'm surprised you even saw Forden on a sign. It's basically two roads and a church school. Figured Welshpool would be the only thing that would show up on a sign unless entering Forden itself.

I might be misremembering, but It seems familiar, but then again my sister does the "Your here, lets go do something or whatever." Maybe I am just blargh and imagining it, I like to look out the passenger window and just zone out and read signs.

...... a deep annoying darkness has lifted from the thread, What merciful angel have we to thank for this righteous act?

Haha I only reported him 30 seconds ago for the continual shit posting spam. Quick work. Thank you mods!

LOL ok who thought that it was a good idea for her to show up with the glass breaking in the picture of all the Presidents.

That was so incredibly amateurish looking.

Its also been tiring to hear the constant "she'll be the first woman president." Yes, that's important to a certain degree, but I've always HATED the idea that because she COULD be, she should automatically be voted for.

How fucking stupid.

"breaking the glass celling!"
fucking kill me, please.

[Shaede]

Stone Cold Hilary Clinton?

[KrazyK923]

"breaking the glass celling!"
fucking kill me, please.

I mean they've constantly said that so many times in the last two days, were there literally a single person who didn't get smacked in the face with that message just now.

Michelle Obama's way of talking about how a person's race or sex being important is how you do it. Not just constantly talk about "ima gunna be the first wimmenz presidant."

[Mafic]

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?

Millennials are not more liberal than Boomers who grew up in the 60s and 70s and shaped those two decades with art, music, etc. Millennials are not even more liberal than FDR Democrats who were considered very socialist and arguably American communists laid the groundwork for a conservative FDR to follow.

You believe Millennials are more progressive, but in truth they are not.

"War no more"?

Well, you're nominating the wrong person, then.

They aren't targeting all you super smart hyper aware intellectuals. Repetition is an important part of trying to sell anything.

The shit that people whine about is so strange to me.

I've heard it before, but hearing it leak out of her mouth and with that little display sapped my will to live.

[Gsara]

I like how the gavel sounds like an electronic kick drum at an out door venue.

...what? lol. "Super smart hyper aware intellectual?"

Just because I don't like them doing it doesn't mean I don't understand WHY they are doing it. That has no bearing on it being stupidly, and annoyingly, pandering.

Well Acid does make a huge difference. Plus, you know Millennials aren't being murdered by the dozen in Vietnam either. Plus back then you had to be in the street to even voice your opinion. Was a world of difference back then...

You're spot on about the music tho. At least they have Beyonce I guess...

IMO its going after the women's vote. Any women here? How important is that sort of thing to you?
