The Democratic National Convention Thread of EVERYTHAAAANG


Recommended Posts

I find it hilarious that a bunch of Dems on Twitter are in a tizzy. Then there's another group of Democratic-Socialists who think she's backtracking and are disappointed.

 

As if a recorded short video would get into this convention unless the DNC approved it.

I can all but assure you that the DNC was 100% fine with it and it could very well have been their idea to begin with.

 

It was just a harmless bit of symbolism, nothing more.

 

The DNC rules require a nomination and a second for anyone over the delegate threshold. That's why these news takes are hit jobs, she's literally doing what's required.

I was getting all revved up to gripe about Sanders not awarding the nomination by acclimation but I agree that the format where all the delegations actually cast their votes (like in 2016) was really cool and this time around it's even better. 

 

One thing I think has been missing from democratic coalition politics is a real feeling of being seen for people outside of the larger forces in the party. Winning the midwest isn't about factories anymore, factories were the shortcut to midwest identity and now that those are gone that shortcut is gone too. Gotta find something else and this kind of stuff is at least playing out of the right songbook.

Is she a dumbass bartender or is she an elite too out of touch with the working class? Get your stories straight, assholes!

 

Mexicans are all lazy and they are taking all our jobs because they work so hard for next to nothing!
