When was there booing during a prayer? I haven't been watching the entire convention footage of today... only about the last hour and half of it.

They boo'd through the opening prayer back at the start

 

[Sibylus]

Booker getting this Canuck girl goosebumped. USA USA

 

[neurosisxeno]

Booker is absolutely running in 2024.

 

[Vahagn]

HOLY SHIT HE CALLED THEM EVIL AND COWARDS.


Omg omg omg

 

[Slacker]

D: We will rise

R: Lock her up

Most D: We will rise
Some D: Lock her up
R: Lock her up

 

[hawk2025]

Someone pointed out on OT:

Did Bill say "This is the guy"?

 

[Y2Kev]

I need a head wipe

wow

 

[Owzers]

i don't understand raising your voice in a speech unless you're going to ask the crowd "guilty or not guilty?"

 

[Effect]

That was straight fire! Damn!

 

[UltimaPooh]

They boo'd through the opening prayer back at the start

Ahh. Well that is kinda shitty.

 

[Brawndo Addict]

Bernie kinda looked like "uh oh, that was way better than my speech".

 

[Teggy]

Most D: We will rise
Some D: Lock her up
R: Lock her up

Fair enough.



Bill Clinton: "Go get 'em Cory!"

Bernie: "Did I leave the iron on?"

 

[titiklabingapat]

Audition went well!

 

[RustyNails]

That was liquid fire

 

[Officerrob]

A star was just born

 

[Tendo]

How soon can I cast my vote for Booker in 2024? Can I just put that in now?

 

[Wilsongt]

THat was so amazing I can't even. Talk about hype.

 

[BlastProcessing]

I love how they really love to yell at black and women speakers

I noticed that pattern.

 

[B-Dubs]

Someone pointed out on OT:

Did Bill say "This is the guy"?

Wouldn't put it past him. Booker's going to be the guy to beat next cycle for sure.

 

[User 463088]

I am feeling the shit out of that speech.

 

[Gruco]

Cory Booker folks!

Didn't see that coming.

 

[Diablos]

Clinton peeps prepare to lose your voice. You Need to keep drowning out those voices.

Why the fuck does Bernie look so meh about everything?

 

[Dierce]

He put the burners in their place. He did awesome.

 

[Teggy]

That only leaves an hour for Warren and Sanders and Obama.

 

[BlastProcessing]

When was there booing during a prayer? I haven't been watching the entire convention footage of today... only about the last hour and half of it.

The opening invocation of the day. Probably when the crowd was at it's loudest/worst.

 

[neurosisxeno]

I noticed that pattern.

Black Woman on stage now, prepare for chants.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Booker man, Obama 2004 tier. "We will rise"

 

[IggyChooChoo]

Damn, that speech got amazing! Go Booker!

Now I'm ashamed for ever shouting "STILL I RISE" during hotly contested bouts of Mario Kart.

 

[B-Dubs]

Booker just gave the craziest speech of the day and Bernie's got the keynote. No way he outdoes Booker.

 

[Y2Kev]

A star was just born

Yeah but he's walllll~~``~`lll Stre~```Weeeeet~``

 

[Diablos]

I am feeling the shit out of that speech.

I was too but those fucking Berners ruin it at times. Like really bad compression artifacts in an MP3 you know?

 

[Link]

Shouting black lives matter at a black man speaking. Okay.

I didn't mind it. It was on message to what he was saying, and they started to cheer when he wrapped up the point.

Cory Booker folks!

Didn't see that coming.

I did. Dude is a rising star.

 

[UltimaPooh]

The opening invocation of the day. Probably when the crowd was at it's loudest/worst.

I mean that is kinda shitty to do.

But it's also the kind of convention where a lot of people in the party will be there and they all have a voice, they're gonna use it.

It should always be expected at these things.

Not to mention that's the whole point of a protest... to disrupt.

 

[pigeon]

Cory has something weird in his background, but I don't remember what...need to look it up later.

I don't think he will be a presidential candidate. Probably get gov of NJ though at some point.

 

[Dominican Power]

Is Obama going to speak at the convention?

 

[Brawndo Addict]

Also I feel like I hear way more background noise than was present in the RNC convention, which causes the booing/jeering to be way more audible (sometimes it sounds like you can hear just one person as if they're right next to a mic). There's got to be some sound improvements they can make to minimize this stuff.

the finance stuff?

They're making themselves into laughing stocks. Respect for Bernie supporters has tanked today. Their movement is being embarassed because they want to be whiny children

 

[Officerrob]

Wednesday

 

[Teggy]

I hope they also have the architect and the piano maker speak this week. Those are really good stories.

 

[Bonen no Max'd]

Does anyone know if Chris Murphy is speaking this week and if he is, when?

 

[sangreal]

I know he got a lot of heat because he defended bain capital against democratic attacks

also I am pretty sure trump is going to accuse him of plagiarizing obama tomorrow. Some of those riffs were right out of Obama's NH concession speech. Not saying he copied it, but I would be surprised if nobody goes there

anyways, I know some people who have worked closely with him and have nothing but good things to say

Before tonight did you have respect for them?

 

[titiklabingapat]

Michelle time

I have never seen a protest try to break up a prayer. I have only been paying attention to Conventions since '92, but I haven't seen that and I can't think of when I have seen it elsewhere.

I hope that people get their aggression out tonight and feel that they can move on.

im a kid

New avatar!

 

[Brawndo Addict]

Over/under on Michelle getting boo'd and/or jeered?

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

If these fools boo Michelle I will drive up there and beat these people with a spatula.

 

[pigeon]

I love that kid.

"She's one of my favorite First Ladies."

KID YOU'RE LIKE SIX

I SEE YOU
