Seeing twitch chat and reddit comments reminds me of how much of a bubble gaf lives in.

I think people are underestimating just how people don't give a shit about racism, women's rights, etc. If they have the option of voting for a guy who says funny things and is anti PC/sjw or whatever.

While everyone here is praising the DNC ads, people in comments see then as cringey and pandering, by "playing the race/women" card.

Makes me worried that Trump could win.

Just comfort yourself in knowing that the vast majority of the active Twitch stream chat and Reddit community are probably not 18 and if they are they probably won't bother to vote at all. They just follow the memes.

Someone just tortured a bag of cats on stage.

Lol, singing?

 

[Ekai]

This audience. Such a different atmosphere than the RNC. So upbeat and full of diverse individuals.

 

[the_id]

Shit that was bad.

 

[hawk2025]

Lol, singing?

"singing", yes.

Dr. Chilton was singing on stage, for some reason. I shit you not.



You Can Call Me Al intro now! (Paul Simon should have played this)

 

[lenovox1]

wat

is that the guy from SVU?

Yes. He's a Broadway star. 😑😓😞

 

[El-Suave]

These people wil dance to ANYTHING.

 

[jon bones]

Jesus that India Outsourcing commercial is racist as fuck.

Just saw it for the first time on CNN.

uhhhh

the speakers too. tom harken had a really nice speech yesterday ending in teaching the audience how to say 'america' in sign language.

 

[Brinbe]

That was probably the low point lol. Anyway, cleanse the palette, Jesse.

 

[DietRob]

Here is his introduction as VP speech. He starts about 20 minutes in. I recommend watching it.

Thank you for the link. He's an OK speaker. I think I'm spoiled because we have heard some of the best orators alive this week at the DNC. I'm sure he will bring more energy to his speech tonight.

setting expectations low so they can gradually work up to King Obama tearing the house down

I would definitely say reddit is more representative of the general population than gaf


This is different though. Young people back in 2012 or 08 thought of Obama as the obvious choice. Now it isn't with Hillary.

Yup, white people don't have to vote with their cultural perception and rights on the line regardless of the questionable nature of a candidate. They can flip flop wherever the fuck they want every election based on whatever the hell they want. Reddit, for example, can look like a liberal bastion one election and then completely get downright ugly and gross by comparison to the last when it's campaign time again.

The specifically-white Bernie hecklers can probably vote Trump based on pretense that if they aren't able to expand their privilege the way Bernie wants, they can enforce their privilege the way that Trump and the new Republican party's rhetoric suggests. Who cares if it's racist, it's not going to affect them.

Its hard to ignore. Looking at any BLM related thread on reddit and seeing all the racist shit being upvoted as the top comments makes me worry that people will be influenced by those ideas.

If reddit were representative of the general population Bernie Sanders would be speaking tomorrow instead of Monday

 

[Jawbreaker]

Jesse is a bit difficult to understand.

 

[Ekai]

That's cool.

Reddit is much more white and much more male than the general population. The concern trolling needs to stop.

 

[Joeytj]

Ah, ok. Jesse Jackson is really old now, I guess.

Anyway, it looks more endearing than embarrassing.

 

[Jawbreaker]

STAY. OUT. THE BUSHES.

 

[Spiritreaver]

Ehh, it's still in quite the echo chamber right now. There's some crazy troll war happening from many camps with people just spamming memes and mass upvoting nonsense. It's a mess over there.

 

[Killer Queen]

Jesse is a bit difficult to understand.

Yeah, I understand like half of what he's saying.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

It's Hillary time. :3

 

[lyrick]

It's Hillary time. :3

Everytime he says it I want to grab a beer
