[thestopsign]

Don't you need shit celebrities to stay in the eye of the public?

There have been a few celebrities confirmed. I think off the top of my head the list is something like:

Chloe Moretz

Debra Messing
Fergie
Demi Lovato

Those are all female, I don't think I remember any male speakers yet.

[Orbis Tabula]

Tim Kaine doesn't even get a headline spot? Lol

 

[FeenixRising]

I like how Tim Kaine is just another speaker on the list, not like he's the running mate or anything.

 

[jack_package_200]

Lets do this.

Lets beat Trump and his racism once and for all

Monday (labor groups/Warren/Sanders/Michelle) and Wednesday (Biden/Obama/Kaine) seem the heaviest.

 

[thestopsign]

I like how Tim Kaine is just another speaker on the list, not like he's the running mate or anything.

He is speaking Wednesday along with Obama and Biden. I wish they moved someone else to Tuesday to give him more room to breathe.

 

[Slayven]

No nutbags, racists, or pure evil

 

[antipode]

Sarah McBride (on Thursday) to become first transgender person to speak at a convention.

http://www.hrc.org/blog/hrcs-sarah-mcbride-to-become-first-openly-transgender-person-to-speak-at-a

That Thursday LGBT lineup is amazing.

 

[massoluk]

He is speaking Wednesday along with Obama and Biden. I wish they moved someone else to Tuesday to give him more room to breathe.

Dat brave men and women that have to face Bill Clinton

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

He is speaking Wednesday along with Obama and Biden. I wish they moved someone else to Tuesday to give him more room to breathe.

They should put Obama along with Bill on Tuesday, and then have Kaine and Biden be the speakers on Wednesday.

 

[RDreamer]

 

[FeenixRising]

He is speaking Wednesday along with Obama and Biden. I wish they moved someone else to Tuesday to give him more room to breathe.

I see.

I don't think many people saw his speech in Florida so I'm betting he blows the nation away on Wednesday.

Awesome!!!

 

[Revolver]

Chloe Moretz
American Ferrera
Debra Messing
Fergie
Demi Lovato

Those are all female, I don't think I remember any male speakers yet.

I also read that Jason and Jarron Collins from the NBA along with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar will speak. Katy Perry, Lena Dunham, Alicia Keys and Eva Longoria were also added. Kind of disappointed there's no Clooney.

[eBay Huckster]

DNC OT's up

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1251945

 

[Grizzlyjin]

I look forward to plenty of useless CNN fun facts on Thursday like "Chelsea Clinton is potentially the first person to have both parents hold the office of President." I can already hear it in Wolf Blister's voice.

The lineup is just stacked from start to finish.

 

[ryseing]

I think a TIME article said Snoop Dogg was going to speak too.

 

[FeenixRising]

Howard Dean? YEEAAH!!!

BYAAAHHH

 

[Majine]

Bill Clintons speech 4 years ago was fantastic.

 

[Blader]

Damn, I'm going to miss all the Wednesday speakers.

 

[Melkezadek]

I think a TIME article said Snoop Dogg was going to speak too.

Snoop gonna bring the heat.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I think a TIME article said Snoop Dogg was going to speak too.

Is his spot billed as 'Pie in the Horse'???

 

[Dinokill]

I think a TIME article said Snoop Dogg was going to speak too.

I hope he has a spliff while he is speaking a la Battlefield 1.
