I don't demand anyone support our nominee. But to come to the convention and boo every speaker and chant "lock her up" is immature and dangerous.

That's why most people won't applaud it.

isnt outreach.

Bernie supporters were expected to shut up and vote for Hillary without question, without any reason except she won the primary and that's that

At this time, here in Texas, I could vote for the tooth fairy at the top of the ticket and it wouldn't make a damn bit of difference which way my state swings. Perhaps a few years from now it might have some value, but not this election.

Deep Red States are different. Red States where Republicans control electronic voting and no one can afford to recount are even more challenging. Texas our Texas!

Agree. And Trump is a fascist.

There is no going back when a fascist comes to power. Trump won't light a fire under the masses because we will no longer have the ability to change America under totalitarianism.
