Can cool heads prevail for now? Let's wait until August before worrying.
This bump isn't what scares me. It's the Trump surge over the past 2 months that basically has made this race close to generic R v generic D.

In addition to this I think there may be a few non-permitted protests on here:
Would guess the pro-legal weed and civil disobedience stuff was not permitted. On the legal weed front, weed is decriminalized here, so there will probably be lots of smoking happening. There's also a counter protest for Westboro Baptist Church called the "Great Wall of Love" that I find rather awesome.

What time is Bernie expected to talk tonight?

Really. There's so much FUD in all these DNC threads on OT it's making my head spin.

I highly doubt there were any cool heads that day.
That's kind of a fascinating image. I remember people still liking John McCain back then and no one realized exactly how crazy Sarah Palin was just yet. All down hill from there.
There certainly weren't many on GAF, that day...

Yes, on this account: https://twitch.tv/DNC2016
They're also allowing streamers to re-stream and comment on it, you should be able to select DNC 2016 on the "select game" page when it's up.
10x more interesting speakers list than what the RNC had. I ain't no liberal, either. We got da prez. And of course Mrs. Obama. I'm interested to see what Bill has to say, too.
I see Michelle Obama and Bernie as the most interesting people on this list to speak at the DNC.

Yeah, Bernie is really probably the one to watch due to all the current controversy.

Yup, if Trump wasn't the nominee I could see the RNC having a line up of speakers in terms of diversity of thought, demographics, and centrist polcies, but unfortunately, their base don't care for that.
I mean:
Bush Sr
Bush Jr
McCain
Romney
Colin Powell
Nikki Haley
Susanna Martinez
Condolezza Rice
etc etc
Sure, I don't agree with those folks on policy, but they should be the real stars in their party, not what we got...
But they're both democrats.

I really like that line up, especially for today with Michelle and Sanders.

He's gonna be 100% about Trump, and why his most rabid, #neverhillary supporters need to smarten the fuck up.
What's "
His delegates booed him for saying that Hillary needs to win to defeat Trump.
If the Democrats haven't learned that they need to move on from the Clinton family in the future, then I'm afraid we've got some pretty rough sailing ahead.

I hope Bernie calls out the Trump Putin bullshit. It needs more exposure.

Booing when he said we have to elect Clinton/Kaine
Holy shit.

His concession speech, live.
I feel like I'm in bizzaro world. A Trump nom should've caused the Republican party to fucking collapse.
If there's anything that party is good at, it's getting in line.

I'm convinced now more than ever that the hardcore Bernie supporters are just ex Ron Paul fanatics.
There is no way you call yourself a progressive and vote for Trump, who want to repeal the ACA and deport 11 million people.

How is it more divided? Majority of Bernie supporters are planning on voting for Hillary. There will be a loud portion that doesn't want to and they probably wasn't ever going to vote for her.
Yes, so strange that after spending months telling your supporters that she is a part of the nefarious ESTABLISHMENT, that you're suddenly endorsing her?
Ugh. Guess it's impossible to know how much his campaign damaged her in the long run, but it hasn't helped her.
