So when TPP passes in the lame duck session, are people going to throw a fit or call Clinton a liar? I feel like a lot of people who have issues with the TPP couldn't tell you much about what it does or what's in it. Maybe I'm off but that's always been the sense I got birdieing conversations about it.

Sorry, the demographics in that chart are what they are. I mean, I know it's hard to fathom exactly why non-college educated white men might suddenly have a support deficit for the first major female candidate, just completely hard to figure that one out. Beyond the obvious, they're probably also buying into a demagogue selling them that the jobs they can actually get "are coming back to America" when, sorry, they're not, and if they do, they're not going to come back in the form they are qualified for because it will even then require technical training they don't have.
She got to vote in her primary/caucus, her candidate got a number of changes made to the platform, so yes, she better sit there silent, but better not think it's because she's actually not had any input into this process. Petulant children, the lot of them, with no understanding of what it's REALLY like when people in this country have no voice.
right, what I mean though is the stage is built around the screen. it's part of the reason it's so bland
(I actually think it looks fine)

This petulant Sanders supporter on PBS- they're entitled to their opinions but I'm entitled to call you selfish, myopic, and shortsighted for your opinion.
These guys are "disappointed" in Sanders? Really?

This is true of literally every demographic. It is factually true that being a gay trans person of color "does not ~guarantee~ a liberal voter" as well, but it's pretty clear what people mean when they say that person is liberal.

Hopefully all these heartfelt speeches from minorities wakes up some of those in the audience to the consequences of their Bernie or Bust movement.

State Senator Spearman with the best speech of the night!
David Brooks made a great point on some of the Bernie or Busters:

Basically, a lot of these people have never met a Trump supporter and don't think he can actually win.

They represent <10% of Bernie supporters, and are irrelevant.
Of course not but that's a looooot of votes being wasted on someone like Trump who has literally nothing in common with them and is the exact kind of person they shouldn't be voting for.

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions

Fantastic work by the crew there.
Lots of them, especially in the Rust Belt, already are, or at least sometimes vote for Democrats. They are often proud union members, and Trump hates unions and workers and thinks wages are too high.
Nice. Thanks.
By implementing policies that address their legitimate concerns about financial security in a world of decreasing blue collar labor value?
The vast, vast majority of my twitterfolk who were pro-Bernie are long past tired of the booing, save for one or two people. Booing Cummings didn't help matters one bit.

I see Kristoffer decided to show solidarity with DWS by getting banned
Lol that's what I was going to say. Hi five.
The silver backdrop behind the podium is kinda weird looking. Almost kinky.
sometimes you can't get them to vote for a president, people do a lot of different things for local races. You drop the focus from the presidential ticket and make them split their vote.
I really dont care if they vote for 3rd party, if they vote for downticket races i'm ok.
"If I don't get everything I want I'm silenced"
It's like when people give feedback to game devs and are pissed that they didn't do exactly what they were asked to

He is very good at this. He knows how to control the crowd.
Calling out the Bernie-Busters by not even naming them. Good.

This is really great now that the crowd calmed down. Lots of energy, upbeat and nice.
Hopefully it keeps like this. This is how it should be.
