You missed loads of gold. Tons of booing, awful speakers, Harry Potter quoting, really pushing unity in the party which only highlights how they are splitting, they messed up the Pledge, pushing that whole "diversity" nonsense super hard, which is ironic considering how diverse the Republican race was compared to the Democratic.

SOMEONE FILL ME IN[/QUOTE]Dumbledore was quoted, the chair arbitrarily declaring what is going to happen, "WE WON THIS" by a Bernie supporter who doesn't understand she lost wholeheartedly, a guy on right now who looks up to the stars and sees [del]Mufasa[/del] his father.
[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;50773371]I. Want. A. Fucking. Job.
And no one is calling back.
I keep getting emails telling me I didn't get it.
There aren't any available jobs right now.
Where are the jobs then? Where are the fucking jobs? I've been searching for 3 and a half years now and I can't fucking find any![/QUOTE]
Did Trump personally promise you a job if you shilled for him or something? Otherwise I can't imagine how you think he'll get you one.
Has Bernie spoken yet? If not when is he up?
[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;50773436]if manufacturing jobs came back they'd just be fucking automated anyway
shit would be more expensive, the economy would suffer, and you wouldn't even get a fucking job out of it unless you know anything about engineering or computers. Which if you did you'd be able to find a job anyway.[/QUOTE]
exactly, people are fucking repeating the same shit people were saying when automation & technology made their advances

these people were mad as fuck and asking where their jobs went too
Honestly, shoutout to the TPP guys, they have been going strong for awhile.
i feel bad for this guy, the crowd is just yelling TPP or whatever when hes trying to make a emotional speech.
[QUOTE=FlashMarsh;50773381]I'm not going to get into the Trump vs. Hillary for Bernie supporters shit again, but just one question: What were your opinions on the Benghazi 'scandal' before you supported Trump?[/QUOTE]
Again, Mr Pvt. Martin. I am genuinely curious, I've heard enough about Bernie -> Hillary vs. Trump at this point but this is a more interesting question
[QUOTE=RIPBILLYMAYS;50773461]Has Bernie spoken yet? If not when is he up?[/QUOTE]
He's the second to last speaker tonight, long way off yet
If you're so fucking worried about your goddamn cracker factory in Mexico then don't vote for Hillary because [I]haha that factory ain't comin' back[/I] under her watch.
[QUOTE=Maadz;50773466]i feel bad for this guy, the crowd is just yelling TPP or whatever when hes trying to make a emotional speech.[/QUOTE]
He's appealing to emotion to reinforce party unity just like all the speakers.
This DNC has been sponsored by Skype a property of Microsoft Corporation.
This video interlude sucks. I miss Trump's hot daughter talking about stuff.
[QUOTE=Aztec;50773479]He's appealing to emotion to reinforce party unity just like all the speakers.[/QUOTE]
im aware, hes a speaker, thats what hes supposed to do. amazing how disrespectful these delegates are.
[QUOTE=wystan;50773301]I would feel insulted if I were a Bernie supporter.
Can anyone who was tell me what it's like to see this shit? It's awful.[/QUOTE]
It feels like living in a sealed pit for years and then having someone open the hatch and drop down a ladder. You reach the top, look out at the world, breathe in the fresh air,
and then the ladder gets kicked down and they weld the hatch shut
They must be glad they scheduled the convention so early this cycle, they've got about 7 weeks to pick up the pieces before debate season
Nevermind, I'm wrong. Seems to me the Republicans did it to finish off the primary race quickly and the DNC just decided to reply with doing it in July right after for being quick to respond.

[QUOTE=FezianEmperor;50773497]You do realize this rescheduling is due to the Rio Olympics?[/QUOTE]I don't think they give a shit why it's happening, just that it [I]is[/I] happening.
Yayyyyy more racial pandering
[QUOTE=FezianEmperor;50773497]Nevermind, I'm wrong.[/QUOTE]
This is just the year of officially-endorsed disasters being officially ignored isn't it
Has Clinton been officially nominated yet, like did they do the state rollcall?

[QUOTE=RIPBILLYMAYS;50773511]Has Clinton been officially nominated yet, like did they do the state rollcall?[/QUOTE]
Pretty sure not yet. I can see that going even worse than what happened to the RNC convention.
[QUOTE=plunger435;50773367]You were a huge Sanders supporter before, what happened recently that made you go from far left to far right.[/QUOTE]
He lost the Primary election, simple as that.
It's so sad to see all these Sanders supporters try and be happy about their small gains through the party platform.

Don't take this the wrong way but have you considered that you might be overlooking jobs that you consider to be "beneath you"?
Even a stopgap shit job can make getting a "real" job easier, because longterm unemployment looks bad on applications.

better to be happy over small victories than be happy over catastrophes that you've convinced yourself are victories
but I guess feels before reals is the theme of this election
That old man just slipped a small Hillary under his breath.
