1. apparently it's the media's job to blow everything out of proportion.

[treestar]

6. This ^^^

[B Calm]

12. The media are shit stirrers.

[VOX]

23. ^^^^ Indeed this ^^^^^

Media stirs shit just to stir shit. They still believe it boosts viewership.

[sarae]

30. Well...

they lost this viewer.

[geek tragedy]

2. diverse group of people nt

[RonniePudding]

7. It's looks like the SAE house at any southern university

Bro night at the convention.

[Cooley Hurd]

3. You are bashing fellow Democrats.

I see DNC credentials around their necks. You should probably self-delete.

[Squinch]

5. No. He/she is bashing trump trolls.

[Cooley Hurd]

10. No, they are credentialed Democratic Party members.

Sorry you disagree with them.

[Squinch]

29. That doesn't mean they aren't trolling for trump.

[drray23]

8. they should have their credentials pulled.

If they can not respect the speakers at the convention, they have no business being delegates.

[Cooley Hurd]

13. They cheered Ben Jealous...

[La Lioness Priyanka]

21. lol. we are allowed to call people booing Elijah Cummings douchebags. nt

[Cooley Hurd]

24. Yes you are...

...and I'm allowed to protest the denigration of Democrats on this board.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

26. are they democratic public figures? because if not your demand that the OP be self-deleted

is absurd.

some racist asswipes who got nominated as delegates can be criticized and it does not break the rules. at all.

[Cooley Hurd]

31. But they cheered Ben Jealous.

Please, this is not the time to use such a label. That is sowing divisiveness. And I demanded nothing. I suggested.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

34. I rewatched the video

Some of those chanting are African American and Latino.

Leaders or followers, I don't know, but sad.

[skylucy]

4. God I hope you are right. They sound loud and are VERY disrespectful to the speakers...

even boo'd during the prayer!!These people are NUTS. I fear what they are going to do when Michelle Obama speaks tonight.

[Tal Vez]

9. No, there isn't that many of them. One of their problems is that they don't

seem to understand a lick about public relations. Why would any Democrat with even a tiny sense of history try to drown out a speech about civil rights with chants about a trade treaty? Why not wait until someone is talking about a trade treaty? Why go out of the way to appear bigoted and/or ignorant. Even young people should know better.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

16. "Even young people should know better"

They don't. It's their first convention and they think it's a Flyers/Penguins game.

25. When I was 18, I saw the 2004 election as the end all be all of elections

From my perspective that was the most important election in world history. If Kerry won, we would have world peace, pollution would disappear, and every American would get a free puppy but if Bush won, nuclear holocaust. I think when you are young and suddenly start paying attention, you feel like everyone else has just woken up too and holy shit, the Sanders guy is amazing! There will never be anyone else like him until the end of time! We need to elect him and no one else or surely it will be the end of days! There is a lack of perspective that can distort what is important and what can wait until another day.

33. Millennials are used to getting their way

Most spoiled generation in history IMO.

14. Quote From Huffington Post On the Protests

The divisions in the Democratic party may not be as severe as the first hours of the convention suggested. Big news events like conventions can highlight louder voices ― even if those voices don’t represent majority opinions. One recent survey by Pew found that around 90 percent of voters who consistently supported Sanders throughout the primary favor Clinton over Trump in the general election. But other data ― and the chaos Monday ― suggest the former secretary of state might have a tough time convincing many Sanders supporters to vote for her. FiveThirtyEight has estimated that about a third of Sanders supporters aren’t ready to vote for Clinton ― and that around a fifth of them will vote for a third-party candidate like libertarian Gary Johnson or Green Party candidate Jill Stein. That’s in part because many Sanders supporters were never loyal Democrats. “Before the 2016 primaries, Sanders’s supporters voted less frequently than other 2016 voters, and they were less reliably Democratic than Clinton supporters,” FiveThirtyEight reported Monday.

15. They look like regular concerned Americans to me

Wheels needing grease are gonna squeak, my friend. We don't have to shut them up to win the argument.

What say we let democratic process do its thing for a few days. I imagine more than a few of them will be won over eventually

[Doctor Jack]

18. I'm not saying they have no right speak

I'm just saying the reports of mass protests appear to be grossly exaggerated.

[NorthCarolina]

22. AND that Bernie supporters are douche bags...or

"d-bags" as you put it. Classy, real classy.

[Doctor Jack]

27. Those that are yelling nonstop are

[beachbumbob]

20. The media will always overhype remember what they did to Howard dean....

[tallahasseedem]

28. It's more than that...

They are STILL chanting Bernie.

What do they think this is going to do?

It would be nice to hear our speakers without the rudeness.

[The Green Manalishi]

32. As much as I hate the TPP

Every asshole booing is probably on the payroll for Trump.

Or they might as well be.

If you're booing a Democrat at the Democratic convention, you are an asshole and/or a provocateur.

I wanted Bernie, but I'd have no problem with any of the people booing Elijah Cummings being frog marched off the floor, their credentials yanked and booted out the door.
