[QUOTE=Lambeth;50780133]It's kind of sad how completely and utterly the republicans have poisoned the well. Not only did their decades of covert racism give rise to Trump but they also made it actually really difficult to criticize Clinton. Right wing attacks on her are so excessive, so constant, that a lot of her flaws get pushed by the wayside because people don't want to be associated with nutjobs.[/QUOTE]
Not sure if you're incredibly thick, or just being sarcastic.
Took a nap and missed most of the action.
Did we hit bingo yet?

This acapella song is seriously horrible.. With Elizabeth Banks hosting? What the hell? This is the most overproduced American Idol-esque political convention in history. There's a black woman rapping and one of the lyrics was "show them that women are people now"..
I just came back and started watching, what the fuck are you doing Democrats.
Meryl Streep no don't scream.
I actually enjoyed that...

Nah dude, you gotta stab yourself with a pen and stitch up a cannonball wound or something. Were you not listening?
This speech is literally just "girl power"
Pretty sure Hillary isn't the first president to have fucking "grit."
Oh that's fair, don't show Tesla or Gates, but show off Jobs and Edison. Way to honor the sleazy salesman more than the actual pioneer.
this is such a cringefest
What the fuck does this have to do with politics? Don't worry about that whole exposed conspiracy thing, listen to this pretty lady sing a nice song! Hey, you remember Bill Clinton, right?
Who was that chick who sang yesterday? Like she abruptly went from "I have mental illness" to singing.
This feels just as ridiculous.

Lots of Republican presidents they're showing too lmao
So judging from this convention the Republicans aren't going to win the election, the Democrats are just going to lose.
Oh wait, they're just going through them. Okay, whatever.

there was plenty of black people that voted for obama just cause he was black
there's gonna be plenty of women that will vote for clinton just cause she's a woman
its effective & sound tactic, but man, cant they make it less corny

Well the premise is stupid to begin with so I don't know. Though they're kind of between a rock and a hard place because it's either bitch about Trump or talk around Hillary's glaring faults.

Not kidding, met a woman today who was watching the TV at work and counting down the delegates for Hillary to become the official nominee. I asked her what makes her like Hillary so much (I was friendly, I promise..), she said she just wanted to be part of electing the first woman president. I'm sure that's not the majority of Hillary supporters but.. It sure helped.

Same mentality that let Obama secure 96% of the black vote against Romney(?)

Doesn't help that the GOP and their nominee (more so than usual) are pretty sexist. Meanwhile Hillary is supporting policies sought after by most women like paid maternity leave and abortion rights.

Yeah, it has nothing with the Democratic party (in recent times) being the party that actually cares about black people and doesn't harbor tons of racists.
I don't get this shit about the Democratic party being the party that cares about black people. What has Obama said or done about Chicago? Instead of actually talk about whats happening (90+ % of Chicago's shootings are black on black), he instead talks about a few incidents of a cop shooting a black man. How is that helping black people? How is welfare helping black people? Just because a party appeals to the immediate reactionary emotions it doesn't mean there helping black people.

I don't disagree with you, I'm just saying the fact that Hillary is 100% irrelevant to her ability to be president (ironically enough), but it still plays a pretty huge role in her campaign. Everything I saw from tonight was all about women and breaking glass ceilings and showing that women are this and women are that.. It's pretty clear the Clinton campaign know how to milk Hillary's vagina.

democrats or pretty much any left-wing parties sees black on black crime as economic and social issue
they dont see it as an individual issue and being only one reason why its so high, but rather a multi-issue problem with tons of different context
example:
Why are there crime in the ghettos? It's usually drug or gang related
Why are so many people in gangs? Not enough parental figures and lack of community outreach
What can we do to improve that? Use welfare to support families in low-income areas so they work less or at least spend time around their children and use government funds to support community centers etc. and by taking care of their essential survival needs like rent, food, and among others, they feel less inclined into believing they have to commit crimes or sell drugs to buy basic essentials.
its not always a -> b, its always more complex than that but thats the gist of it and the left generally believes that authority officials should be held to a higher standard & have misdeeds acknowledged
they see it as a pragmatic thing, you dont want a group already having misgivings about cops believe they're killing black folks, and nobody is giving a damn about you or them
