I couldn't hear it. If they're still chanting its away from the mics.

I couldn't hear it -- the people on the CBSN stream also couldn't make out if anything happened. Maybe they moved the mics.

50% of gay black men will get HIV in their lifetimes if current trends continue? Jesus christ.
Heard it on CNN fairly loud and they're reporting it too so it wasn't my imagination. Apparently they want to roll call Kaine's nomination.
A lot of those idiots taped up their face/covered their mouth with Bernie stickers, so we probably won't hear much.
"DNC IS SILENCING ME!!!"
Umm.. they let you constantly interrupt speeches and allowed you to protest. How are they silencing you?
"RIGGED, ESTABLISHMENT, RAHH!!"

Good grief. Why do they care who the VP is at this point? Who would they rather have? Bernie? lol
yeah the busters think they can force nina turner onto the ticket
Kaine is practically a conservative!!!!!!111
At absolute least they don't seem to constantly be interrupting anymore.

Why deal with any commentary at all. Just watch on youtube.

C-SPAN has the best commentary because there is no commentary
I don't know if you're going to find any sensible commentators. Just watch C-SPAN

So not only for my birthday do I get Biden, Kaine, and Obama, but my man Chris Murphy is going to be speaking tonight? Fuck yes.

OMG. Not the worst parking job I've ever seen though, not by a long shot.
They're speaking in primetime. Their speeches might begin around 9pm EST, give or take. You might miss a bit.

But then you would have people like Biden on when most voters are at work or driving home. All the main speakers are late at night. If the second-tier doesn't interest you, just watch then.
it was great last night during the CNN grill segment. black lady on the right was about ready to throw some punches.

He is. He's been begging them to behave. They don't represent him. They don't even like him anymore. They don't represent his movement. They're the tiniest fraction of Bernie voters. And they're not even progressive.

I kinda disagree. 4 days is about as condensed as I'd do. We've got like 3 big speakers every night, at least. If we stacked more of them, then some of these would get skipped.
No.
Properly translated absentee voting ballots.

Conventions are about a lot more than speakers -- there's a lot of behind-the-scenes work that goes down every day, like national party coordination efforts, voting on platforms and other shit. It's the only time you can reasonably get thousands of party activists from every corner of the country together so it takes a few days to get business taken care of.
Aside from the acceptance speech the rest of the speeches don't really serve any party function besides hype for the die-hards and branding for the general public, which is understandably what most ITT care about.
Just want to say that happening in the 80's is pretty believable for me, considering that my state's 2002 governor's race had a candidate run campaign in part on bringing back the Confederate Flag as part of the state flag.
He won
