Support NeoGAF

[Arrogant Bastard]

Acclamation? Not familiar with that term.

Same thing that happened in 2008.

Suspension of rules and basically saying all delegates are released and we all support Hillary by a Yes/No vote.

Yes won clearly.

 

[Trouble]

Bill is going to deliver the speech of his life tonight and I'm excited for it.

I know Bill will be great, but I have this feeling that Obama got super fired up by Michelle's amazing speech and is going to come out and absolutely kill it.

Either way, I'm expecting great speeches all around and far few dickholes chanting or booing.

OK, so we all know Debbie Wasserman Schultz (DWS) was the co-chair of Hillary's 2008 presidential run, where she lost the nomination to Obama. So, in order to lock down the nomination for 2016, Hillary was able to get DWS in charge of the DNC and manipulate it from within. That's the theory anyway, except....
In order for this to work, they would first have to, not only get the DNC chair to step down, but also get them to recommend DWS for the position. The Clinton's would have to promise something to that person, something more prestigious than being head of the Democratic party. So who was that person and what did they get in return?
It would appear that Donna Brazile was in-line to get the position, but she was only the interim chair after the previous chair left, served only one month. According to this, http://rulers.org/usgovt.html#parties, the previous chair of the DNC prior to DWS was Tim Kaine.

Whatever

Let them have their protest. It's all good.

 

[Cyrano]

basically, voice vote

Acclamation, comes from acclaim.

 

[krackerjack]

Aren't these 18-21 year olds that are Bernie or Busters the same ones who couldn't vote 4 years ago? As in, Obama won easily without them. Not saying a vote is not appreciated.

 

[Ambient80]

Acclamation? Not familiar with that term.

He basically asked for a one time rule change to suspend all delegate votes and instead nominate Hillary by voice vote.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

S4P salt:

Soooooo a vote for Hillary then?

 

[MetalGearZed]

Man, you had it until the end there. Then you just went off the deep end.

eh, its an expression. XD. its the uncensored version of "delete your account"

 

[Wiz]

Are they each about to speak 💀

 

[Fenderputty]

who cares

I thought it was kinda funny.

 

[Ithil]

Acclamation? Not familiar with that term.

Election by approval basically, rather than an official ballot.

 

[Suikoguy]

But did you notice it was an EXCLUSIVE?!?

 

[davepoobond]

This is nothing like the RNC...

did the RNC even have anything resembling a showcase of diversity of their candidates like this?

 

[RedAssedApe]

let the babies cry it out. they'll feel better and hopefully come around

Can we not give this fucking KGB agent attention anymore?

 

[Already Torn]

That was cool that they let Bernie do that. What's not cool is this confirms that he's been a liar and a shill all along.

I don't think there is any reason to be dismissive. Remember back in 2008 were so many people were moved by Obama? Same thing here, Bernie pulled in a great deal of young Americans and old Americans alike. People who truly believed in his goals, that is very emotional and powerful.

 

[civilstrife]

Excuse me, but saying someone should kill themselves is not an uncensored version of "delete your account".

oh get out of here with that mess.

I just don't get what they fear under Hillary that is worse than Trump and republicans winning the supreme court.

I just don't fucking get it.

Conspiracy shit like that is too easy when you have these people who have been working in and around the party for their entire adult lives.

I'm sure they had their tokens.

It's not about the ideals. It's always been about the candidate.

They made her a Ghostbuster, probably

Where is my girl Barbara Mikulski? The longest serving woman in the history of the United States Congress, from the greatest state of Maryland!

Hey now, they had great diversity in shades of grey hair colours.

 

[joe2187]

The top line reads "Presidency" this was drawn in 1920 apparently.

 

[LiK]

Blue dress lady was quite attractive

 

[Steel]

I don't think they're serious.

She nominated Clinton earlier...

 

[Raven117]

There is nothing wrong with what the Bernie supporters are doing. Having your voice heard, a silent walkout...all of these are important messages to deliver to the powers that be in the Democratic party. Unity in this context is simply a line from the power elite to shut up and do what you are told.

What IS potentially wrong with it is if in their message, they end up shooting themselves in the foot, not vote, and Trump gets elected.

Under normal circumstances, what the DNC has done may potentially warrant losing a vote, but not in this election....not now...Trump is more dangerous to a democracy that the Democrats playing lose and fast with their primary rules.

As such, while make all the noise you want, remember to vote....and vote against Trump.

LOL, why is Trump even saying this? it makes him more suspect

Drink for "great state" mentions.

Oh she had her own speech? Even better, thanks!

He's falling for his own trap, making the accusations a legitimate news by refuting them.

And, lol, it's the other way around people are wondering about!

(Russian investments in Trump)

I'm not sure, it is impossible to tell, but I think they're making fun of BoBers that are turning on Bernie after this.

 

[legacyzero]

I understand you, #BernieOrBust. But he did the only thing he could. Establishment Super Delegates would have never changed their vote.

Let the man fight with her for God sake, and let's stop Trump.

 

[Doc Holliday]

MSNBC just explained something, Hilary did not win by acclimation.

The Bernie votes will count at the end. It was not unanimous like it was in 2008.
