DNC Convention Thread – Sanity Strikes Back!

They care, only when they can use those areas against their dem opponents. Otherwise, it’s winner take all.

Oh! Damned magic brownies!

My fear was always that that thing on his head was alive, but just very well trained and fed. 😉

Oh P. it’s like the moon. A dark side and a bright side. Far better than the vile, dyspeptic shitslide that was the RNC!

I pretty much agree. I think she was doing her best to contain her immense joy, and still come off as rational and serious. It was a monumental moment for her (and all women). I think her speech writer/s were a tad cornball at times.

Obama, Michelle and Booker are tough acts to follow in the oratory department. I think overall she did OK. Compared to Trump’s bile filled, vomit sandwich he force fed to America last week, Hillary’s speech was a very welcome breath of fresh air.

I think president Obama and Michelle were speaking from a point of personal satisfaction in what they have achieved in the last 7+ years, and that helped them be a bit more relaxed. Plus, the president is a polished orator, and Michelle is an excellent spokesperson.

Overall, I’m pretty optimistic about the coming democratic leadership. The democratic party, with the very large portion of Bernie Sander’s influence and hard work, is finally coming around to a more reality based view of America in the 21st century. I see that as a definite good.

Thanks Nirek. I think your hopes for the environment haven’t been dashed. Bernie and Hillary will both work for better regulations and clean energy. They both feel the same about that issue.

LOL! I swear, I see a resemblance. Rudy in drag!

Ok, now I have to go bleach my brain and eyes.

Well, I think the Pope is first, and foremost defending religion. He’s in that business.
There is absolutely a religious component to this whacked out dream of building a global Caliphate. That is really what these nutbags want. It’s not just rhetoric, and unfortunately, they’re not going to give it up. These maniacs don’t mind dying. It’s something they are eager to do.
We can discuss their motivations, but it won’t change the fact that they are bent on killing westerners…infidels, and anybody who doesn’t bow to their demands.
It’s a brave new world Homie.

HA! Is that Sonny Bono? Too funny.

Do you agree with what he said about Hillary?

I hate to be a bummer here, but when has the world been without war? Sure would be nice, but not bloody likely. Unfortunately we have enemies, civilization itself has enemies now. No way around it that anybody can figure.

Our enemies want a global Caliphate and see all westerners as obstacles in the way of their nutty goals.

At least were don’t have a hundred or two hundred thousand troops engaged in combat.

Pretty creative. A dash of Hair, and a pinch of Grateful Dead movie.

Death and taxes?

LOL! So that’s who’s responsible for that giant hole in the atmosphere.

Oh shit! That’s really funny. I wonder if Donnie is a mama’s boy!

Thanks Fergie!

Signed, Sealed and……..DELIVERED!

I think this speech will be remembered for quite some time to come. And so will the man who delivered it! 😉

Hey Nirek. Do you mind if I ask just what your political ideals are?

Bernie hasn’t given up. He has simply joined in Hillary in preventing the absolute worst candidate in US history from becoming president of this great country.
He has vowed to continue to work with Hillary in moving our country forward, in every critical area of governance. Elizabeth Warren will also be joining Hillary and Bernie in the struggle.

The 2016 platform of the democratic party is the most progressive platform since FDR, and possibly even more so. I really don’t see any good reason you should be unhappy with the way things have turned out. Sure, your guy didn’t get the nomination, so I understand being a bit disappointed about that, but Hillary is NOT the enemy. She honest to goodness really is NOT the enemy.
I know how you feel about the environment, clean, renewable energy, and social justice. Most Americans feel the same way. Hillary feels the same way.
This is politics. We don’t always get what we want. We have to recognize the best and the brightest and work to give them the power they need to change things for the better. That’s all we can really do, rationally, civilly and peacefully.
I am joyful that Bernie’s monumental efforts have moved the democratic party more to the left, especially on social and environmental issues.
Think of your granddaughter, that you love so dearly. Think about helping to make her future brighter. Cheer up old, friend. The sky is not falling.

Hey Ad! I understand what you and Kalima and Kes are saying, and for the larger part, I completely agree. Maybe we are defining the term Buster differently.
These people hate Hillary with an unbalanced passion. They hate the DNC and think the primaries were rigged to the point of actual voter fraud, which is just not the case. Many of them are not democrats and trash us like there’s no tomorrow. They attack Elizabeth Warren almost as ruthlessly as they do Hillary, and they trash Obama as well.
I have to say, you are much more optimistic about these fools than I am.
I hope you are right, because I would love to see them understand and act like responsible adults instead of petulant children.
I’m not going bonkers over this, by any means, but I had to let my opinion be known. What really jerks my chain is that these people call themselves progressive. All the while they are willingly taking part in aiding and abetting Trump. Hard not get pissed at them. I’m no saint.
I will say, that some of them are surely paid Trump trolls pretending to be Busters. So there’s that.
