Trumps supporters are everywhere on Reddit.

have you been on reddit? reddit is 50% trump and 50% "anybody but hillary" and since hillary got the nom they slowly switch to trump and a few to Stein.
Inside. They were interviewing a few on MSNBC this morning.

Trump supporters have completely taken over all aspects of Reddit. It's actually become a huge problem. Even totally unrelated boards have had issues with Trump spam (Pokemon for example).
Then out the door they should go. Hope their hotel has a refund policy.
The irony being it is "anti-PC" types who attempt to chase people off the internet, particularly twitter.
Thanks!
I think the delegates are only really required to keep around until they vote.
Once thst happens, I imagine they should be able to kick them out.
Even if you take all those as serious people who would actually go out and vote, it's still a tiny percentage overall and really not enough to swing any state

Honestly from last night all they need to do is move the CA delegation or move the mics near them. The chanting was only a few people close to the floor mics. Kicking people out may draw too much attention to the issue.

Yeah, Wednesday and Thursday will be all Clinton supporters, hopefully that tames things down because this is just ridiculous. You got 25-50 people at most trying to represent something that the polls do not show. Sanders supporters are mostly at least willing to vote for Clinton.

Sure! We can hang out soon! I'll hit you up when I get some free time though, because I've been really busy lately.

By prime time that was true but earlier in the day there were dozens of people booing, chanting, etc.
Trump is doing a fucking AMA on Reddit man. Of course it's massive there. Between the Sanders camp and the Trump camp both brigading r/politics and now r/politicaldiscussion, you basically it's difficult to get any real discourse on there without people voting awful things to the forefront.
Probably true. I guess the thing is that I have never been attacked by conservatives or anti-pc types on social media (I'm a straight white man), but I have been called a rape apologist by an acquantance who I 100% agree with philosophically and politically because I dared say that I can't judge people for reading 50 Shades of Gray.
I dunno how it breaks down, but if I were a sillier person I could see Trump's message resonating with me on that day.
This is irresponsible thinking.
That's the big tent party we all know and love!

Disrupting events like a national convention will get you excluded from any political party. A big tent isn't a suicide pact.

Big tent doesn't mean you placate every single person who wants to act out. What percentage of people who voted for Sanders do you think they represent? I would say the same thing for those 2008 crazy Hillary people, if you're just there to scream then you're better off not being there at all.
Great interview between Ana Kasparian from TYT and Jerry Springer.

It's funny how you can almost see Jerry change Ana's mind when he talks about the consequences of a Trump presidency. Don't know if she had already comitted to voting for Hillary in the last few days but I know she used to be very adament in her decision to not vote for Hillary

If they want to be treated like adults, then act like one.
BOOTSTRAPS!
Ah, that's the old Sanders propaganda rearing its ugly head.
It's old news, and it's been debunked already. But then, nothing stops the media from using procedural business to paint the Dems and Clinton in a bad light.

People who fart inside a tent should be forcibly kicked out imo. I dont know about you, maybe you love to waft the foul air because you love everyone.

Yes keep booing and disrupting the speakers. Take the focus away from these amazing speakers/speeches and make the headlines about "Bernie supporters boo!"
I fail to see how this helps anyone but the republicans/Trump.

That seems to be their agenda actually.
A worthy read on Bernie Bros:

Yay! I'm sitting by my phone waiting.
...that people were drafted into.
Is there a single "Never Hillary" person at the convention who isn't white?
Seriously - I was watching most of the convention and speeches yesterday, and I'm pretty sure that every single protestor, every single crying Bernie supporter, every single person who refused to clap when people endorsed Hillary, was white.

Thanks for proving my point to a mild degree about putting words in people's mouths :|
I'm talking about Hillary supporters that can be rationally critical of her and you come back with talking about people supporting Trump openly. That's not what I'm talking about at all.
I do agree on the racism point tho. Plenty of single issue voters on both sides. There's things I dislike about Hillary but that doesn't mean I won't vote for her if she doesn't tick every one of my check boxes nor does it mean I support the things I'm critical of.
Old news? Yes. Debunked? No.

I hope they clean house for the evening speeches and get rid of the rebelrousers
let them vote for Jill Stein, they were never Democrats to begin with
Bill Clinton deserves respect for ending 12 years of Reagan
it is a Democratic Party Convention, not a college campus

White privilege allows white people to take stances like "never Hillary" and "both parties are the same" because they they have the least to risk from a Trump presidency. It shows general selfishness and a lack of awareness and/or empathy for the plights of the less privileged.
they were booing Cummings while he was telling an anecdote about his family
of course these people are white

They'll probably boo Bill and yell rape.
Clinton/Sanders folks are in talks for Bernie to formally nominate Clinton during the vote tonight. cnn reported just now.

Should be a great gesture.

Springer is awesome, preaching empathy. Something that Sandersnistas need to learn, empathy

Of course they'll fall in line eventually. Today is all about making a point and in no way reflects how they will eventually vote. #NeverHillary will eventually become #OkFineHillary
I saw a couple black women crying so that's definitely not true.
Please tell me this didn't really happen.
They boo'd when one of the first speakers was talking about solving income inequality. They were literally booing everything mindlessly for awhile. I really, really, hope that Bernie calmed them down, that was ridiculous.
Last night MSNBC interviewed a Latina and black woman who were Busters.
They fucking chanted NO TPP during his speech. Was idiotic.
