fuck these repukes speaking at a

[gopiscrap]

Democratic convention they are part of the problem where he fuck were they 4 years ago, 8 years ago, 12 years ago when their party went down the rabbit hole of birtherism, racism, misogyny ?

[Wednesdays]

1. They're here for us now.

Do you want them to wait another four years?

[chillfactor]

9. thrilled I am not in your family. n/t

[AkFemDem]

12. You're arguing with a child. Forgeddaboudit. Nt

[gopiscrap]

34. you should be thrilled that I am that commited

to the Democratic Party what's the point of maintaining a relationship with some one who votes for trump

[dware]

58. That's pretty good.

start a contentious thread and then get locked out of it.

[brooklynite]

39. Much more important to maintain ideological purity than to build a winning coalition?

[Lancero]

46. And it's ideology like this that leads to mass shootings.

Find a psychiatrist, get help. And you know, if you can't be political without devolving to wishing death upon people you might want to step away from politics all together.

[AkFemDem]

2. Sigh. The point. Don't you get the point? Nt

[dware]

59. Sigh.

It would seem some are more concerned with party purity than winning an election.

[Squinch]

3. I think it's genius to have them on here.

[RelativelyJones]

4. So long as they are here now and encourage others, I'm ok with it.

[chillfactor]

6. sorry i don't agree

they can help swing moderate republicans and independents......drump fooled many people and many sorry now.....give them a break.

[Crunchy Frog]

7. I thought it was done extremely well.

This is an election that transcends party and partisanship. This is about ALL of America.

That segment did an excellent job of communicating that.

I'm very pleased with this Convention so far.

[jcgoldie]

8. They want to bail on the sinking ship...

Trump is the most heinous narcissistic ignorant asshole that has ever sniffed the presidency, but he is NOT some misfit. He's the embodiment of all the racist sexist fascist policies that people like John Kasich have believed in and pushed for years. He's too stupid and crass to speak in dog whistles, but his policies are no different than theirs. That's why the GOP senate still stands behind a lunatic because he's giving them what they want even if its embarrassing.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. Seriously?

[Skittles]

23. see the post right above yours

NOTHING was missed

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

25. Nobody thinks Kasich is a great guy but this was smart political strategy.

[Skittles]

27. Kasich is a misogynist piece of shit

I don't think someone like him should be anywhere NEAR a Dem convention

[gopiscrap]

35. thank you and that goes for the rest

of those fucking repukes they had up there

[Stinky The Clown]

11. I think you're among a very small group who see this that way.

[Totally Tunsie]

13. Be glad they're coming forward.

There should be many more of them.

[pandr32]

14. We are in this together

What does it matter if we are just recently opening our eyes to it?

[Generic Brad]

15. Purity will only get us a dictatorship

Don’t punish them for being late to the party. They are with us now. We need to suck it up and unite or we are kissing America goodbye.

[bluestarone]

16. DISAGREE!

Glad they are here!

[Blue_true]

17. Can't change the past.

What I want the Never Trumpers to do is recognize their role in making the Republican Party what it has become, only Stuart Stephens and Jennifer Rubin have done public mea culpas.

[Agschmid]

18. Unrec.

[cwydro]

60. Ditto.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. Present

[spanone]

20. CNN Headine

[emmaverybo]

21. Nope! Country over party. The few who take that to heart Should be welcome. And above all,

Humanity over insanity.

[herding cats]

26. Oh, they're not welcome in our party.

Just their voices against him are welcome. This is where people keep getting confused.

[Celerity]

38. I think some would be more than comfortable sliding our party 10, 15% further to right

and taking in that percentage of 'moderate' (cough cough) Rethugs even if the 10% 15% on the most left wing (in our party) left for good (and yes I know, lol, it doesn't necessarily work that way per se). Would be interesting to see a poll(s) on that, both nationwide and then state by state..

[herding cats]

41. Nope. I disagree.

Even they say they have no policy aspirations. They don't like us, we're their policy opposition. They aren't trying to climb into our party, they're trying to burn theirs down and be the person rising like a phoenix from the ashes. I wish them the best with that, but I'm not particularly hopeful. They're in a dark, dark place.

We're shifting to the left they're going to have to move back to the middle. We're not good partners, they know that. The anti-Trumper's want either a new party, or to reclaim theirs, post embracing the Tea Party extremist. They're covered in filth and trying desperately to shake it off.

I wish them luck, but their path is literally crawling over the top of the broken glass of everything they've broken.

[Celerity]

47. was not talking about the Republicans nt

[Skittles]

22. they make me sick

their sanctimonious "Trump broke us" act ignores the fact they helped to create this monster and will very likely vote repuke post-Trump....FUCK THEM ALL

[Celerity]

29. +1000

[gopiscrap]

37. exactly

[Skittles]

42. and the part where they seem unaware the Greed Over People party has SUCKED FOR DECADES?

don't even get me started

[herding cats]

24. You're wrong. I'm sorry to be so blunt.

They said Biden was a good and decent person, the antithesis to Trump.

Fact is, we need the swing states and Trump MUST go or our democracy is well and truly dead. It was painless, brief and necessary.

[agingdem]

28. So we don't invite them and we stay "pure" is that it?

this convention comes down to this...winning this election with the quasi-turncoats or losing this election and four more years of an assault on our democracy but, hey, we still have our principles to keep us warm crap....I'll take the turncoats and their 10 minutes on stage hating on trump more than they hate Dems hot air if it means winning this thing...

[Mz Pip]

30. The enemy of my enemy is my friend

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Getting rid of Trump, well trumps ideological purity at this point.

[Roland99]

31. I voted for Bush in 2000. Does that mean I shouldn't have joined here in 2004?

[rufus dog]

32. Some questions

Did you ever watch the Apprentice?
Been watching tRump for the last four years?

So tRump reacts, runs things for ratings.

That five minutes give to Kasich and the Repub woman, it will consume the ignorant mother fucker for the week AND will force him to do something stupid as a response

[nolabear]

33. We. The. People.

I’ll take any ally I can get. And a President, whether some like it or not, should work for all the people.

Bernie’s up now. He made me crazy. I’ll take his allyship too.

[Sunsky]

36. I disagree

We need all the crossover votes we can get to ensure that Trump is out of the White House next January.

[Under The Radar]

40. They have learned a hard lesson and need a place to stay.

Hell yea we let them in. That is what being a Democrat is all about asshole. We are inclusive.

[gopiscrap]

45. fuck them

we can win with out them

[In It to Win It]

43. We have a common enemy. I'll take their votes for now

...but this is not a favor. I won’t let them think they’re doing us a favor. This is an acknowledgment that their side fucked up.

This unholy alliance for now doesn’t mean we moderate our positions for appease them.

I’ll take their votes for now.

[BannonsLiver]

44. Rabble! rabble! rabble!

[NurseJackie]

49. Exactly! Thank you! I welcome our new Republican allies!

I swear to God, I've never see so much sanctimonious hand-wringing and worry over absolutely NOTHING. I'm sick of all the whining. We're not MARRYING them for Pete's sake. We're accepting their help... and we need all the help we can get.

People just need to let-go and TRUST JOE! He knows what he's doing. Our party leaders know what's needed right now.


------------------------------
PS: Great gif! 💖

[BannonsLiver]

56. Well I think if you look at some of the names and rewind the tape about 6-7 months

You get to the REAL motivation for their grumbling. It’s the product of an unhappy ending to their dreams.

[NurseJackie]

57. I know what you mean. Your observations are correct.

Joe/Kamala or Biden/Harris 2020!!
They're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Biden Bandwagon & abandon the revolution!!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

48. I'd like to welcome you to a parliamentary styled democracy.

We forge necessary alliances for the good of the bigger picture.

Sorry, but that’s called being practical and smart.

[cwydro]

52. This.

Thank you.

[obamanut2012]

54. this -- and this is what happens if we ever get rid of the EC

Which I hope we do.

Coalitions.

[Happy Hoosier]

50. Do you wanna win?

Take off your moral outrage hat. We need everyone willing to fight this monster. If we lose, we could be facing the end of the Republic as we knew it.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

51. Reporting.

[obamanut2012]

53. so edgelord

do you feel better now?

[Act_of_Reparation]

55. The Convention isn't for us.

We already know who we're voting for.

[Rhiannon12866]

61. Think of them as refugees

They are fleeing a very bad place and it would be cruel to turn them away.

[MineralMan]

62. Nice. Oh, wait...

How many votes will you bring to the polls? How many will those folks bring?

Votes are the only thing that will matter on November 3.
