Welcome.

For your convenience, the link to C-SPAN's convention hub.

[SteveWinwood]

It'll be exciting to see if they can make a worse one than the republicans.

inb4 librul circl jerk

[Dax01]

Cool.

[DR2K]

It'll be exciting to see if they can make a worse one than the republicans. inb4 librul circl jerk

Have Betty White speak to an empty chair? Dunno.

[Notrollious]

It'll be exciting to see if they can make a worse one than the republicans.

Is that even possible at this point? The RNC set the bar in the fucking basement.

[Grakl]

No funny |OT| one-liner?

[ElectricBlue187]

It'll be exciting to see if they can make a worse one than the republicans. inb4 librul circl jerk

doubt we'll get to see much shouting down of minorities for dubious reasons but here's hoping!

[Tesseract]

should be equally stupid as the rnc, my invisible popcorn is ready.

[Grakl]

should be equally stupid as the rnc, my invisible popcorn is ready.

It probably should, to be honest. These conventions are for seeing who can speak the worst. We'll see.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

No funny |OT| one-liner?

We wouldn't understand it, anyway.

You teach me new words every day, Jackson

[Randolph Freelander]

Different party, different city, same corporate shackles.

[Cat Party]

No funny |OT| one-liner?

|OT| Don't Trip Over the Bar Set by the RNC

[Aylinato]

I look forward to Michelle Obama, Corey Booker, Barack Obama, and to learn who the hell Elizabeth Warren is (I do research on each speaker while they do their partisan speeches.)

[Gaborn]

No funny |OT| one-liner?

Eh, 4 more years of broken promises and hope for 2016.

[g0tm1lk]

So tuesday it is then?

[reilo]

Eh, 4 more years of broken promises and hope for 2016.

You are still pissed that Obama broke his promise of not supporting gay marr-- ahahahaha

[Derrick01]

It'll be exciting to see if they can make a worse one than the republicans.

It's impossible given what the dems stand for as a party compared to the republicans.

[RBH]

You are still pissed that Obama broke his promise of not supporting gay marr-- ahahahaha

:lol

[Atramental]

Gettin my lube ready.

[Dax01]

Eh, 4 more years of broken promises and hope for 2016.

Too little too late.

[Gaborn]

You are still pissed that Obama broke his promise of not supporting gay marr-- ahahahaha

Nope. I'm more upset about his lying about leaving medical marijuana dispensaries that comply with state law the fuck alone.

[QuiteWhittle]

*enter witty Independent equivalency here*

[reilo]

Nope. I'm more upset about his lying about leaving medical marijuana dispensaries that comply with state law the fuck alone.

:lol

Move those goalposts.

[Aylinato]

Nope. I'm more upset about his lying about leaving medical marijuana dispensaries that comply with state law the fuck alone.

Moving the goal posts I see.

[Gaborn]

:lol Move those goalposts.

What?

[SteveWinwood]

Nope. I'm more upset about his lying about leaving medical marijuana dispensaries that comply with state law the fuck alone.

I'm mad about not achieving world peace and not having better white house beer.

[Kazerei]

|OT| Don't Trip Over the Bar Set by the RNC

I like it

[Measley]

Democrats are going to have to make a huge effort to do as badly as the GOP did. That Ron Paul fiasco was bad enough, but that Clint Eastwood stint and Paul Ryan going on a lying spree was just over the top.

[Tesseract]

i'm mad this never happened for reals.

[Gaborn]

I'm mad about not achieving world peace and not having better white house beer.

Why can't we deal with the subject at hand? I was asked why I was upset with Obama, and I answered. I think that is a legitimate issue since Obama articulated his viewpoint on it and he's completely gone the other way. You're trying to completely alter the subject.

[Notrollious]

|OT| Don't Trip Over the Bar Set by the RNC

This one has my vote.

[Jackson50]

We wouldn't understand it, anyway. You teach me new words every day, Jackson

I occasionally surprise myself.

[Jooney]

I'm not sure if I can watch three full days of a convention with nothing but empty chairs.

[Bulbo Urethral Baggins]

Is Biden going to be allowed to speak?

[reilo]

Why can't we deal with the subject at hand? I was asked why I was upset with Obama, and I answered. I think that is a legitimate issue since Obama articulated his viewpoint on it and he's completely gone the other way. You're trying to completely alter the subject.

You can't make a joke about "four more years of broken promises" and then pivot to fucking medical marijuana being the one thing you are pissed about.

Of all things.

I'm saying I think you're expecting too much. He can only do so much. He's already doing a lot of "liberal" things and if you throw marijuana in there he'll just be destroyed. Alot of things in this country and only move so quickly sadly.

And honestly marijuana is small fries right now, but it will come sooner than later.

[Gaborn]

You can't make a joke about "four more years of unbroken promises" and then pivot to fucking medical marijuana being the one thing you are pissed about. Of all things.

Get your eyes checked.

[giga]

Too little, too late.

[reilo]

Get your eyes checked.

Typo. Don't ignore my point.

[thefit]

:lol Move those goalposts.

Ugh, I'm with u I'm so tired of this casual electorate, them and their idiotic one issue voting.

[ElectricBlue187]

Is Biden going to be allowed to speak?

a good vice president is seen and not heard

[reilo]

Ugh, I'm with u I'm so tired of this casual electorate, them and their idiotic one issue voting.

He's gonna vote for Gary Johnson or Ron Paul anyhow. There's no genuine discussion to be had with him about Obama's presidency. When Obama came out in support of gay marriage, his retort was "too little, too late" -- hence why you see it being posted so many times in this thread. Nevermind the fact that he voted for the guy that sponsored DOMA in 2008.

[Aylinato]

Ugh, I'm with u I'm so tired of this casual electorate, them and their idiotic one issue voting.

Tbh that's the main thing gaborn would say about Obama and now that obama supports gay marriage gaborn does not ever mention it.

[Wiggler]

Looking forward to the litany of false hopes and promises once again.

[Cheebo]

Gaborn a long while back you claimed you would vote Obama in 2012 if he actually came out to support gay marriage before the election. Will you stick to that? You claimed there was no chance Obama would support gay marriage till after the election.

[Wuthering_Heights]

a good vice president is seen and not heard

No wonder we hear from Biden so much...

[reilo]

Gaborn a long while back you claimed you would vote Obama in 2012 if he actually came out to support gay marriage before the election. Will you stick to that? You claimed there was no chance Obama would support gay marriage till after the election.

He can't now. He's so pissed off about medical marijuana!

[ssolitare]

Tbh that's the main thing gaborn would say about Obama and now that obama supports gay marriage gaborn does not ever mention it.

Hey it's Obama, nothing is good enough and the man can't have anything going for him.

[Wuthering_Heights]

doubt we'll get to see much shouting down of minorities for dubious reasons but here's hoping!

Judging by how blindingly white the speaking line up is, there won't be many opportunities to shout down minorities, so there's that at least.
