2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIf there are boos for Warren or Obama tonight,
I will be writing off Bernie supporters forever. Both are going to push hard for unity around Hillary, as they should. Anyone who boos should have their credentials pulled at once, by their own delegations.

(889 posts)I couldn't imagine myself booing Pickles Bush. Get a grip, you fucking clowns.

(7,581 posts)she needs to be treated like anyone else.
I personally wish she had been more political about young black men getting killed by police and poverty of children here, especially children of color.

(22,756 posts)have you followed all that she has done? I met her, I worked with her Let's Move! I have followed all that she has done to help children... she is a brilliant class act

(7,581 posts)about violence against POC. Also, her work,to end childhood poverty. And carrots in cafeterias don't count.
I like Michelle a lot, but they shut her up in 2008 after a fiery, amazing speech, and gave her friendly things to work on. And she complied. I'm hoping when her husband's term ends, she advocates for these things.
And you got more of an explanation than you deserve with your crude language and bad manners..with supporters like you, Michelle doesn't need enemies.

(90,301 posts)... REALLY?!
adigal
(7,581 posts)Put herself out there. But now she's political.

(90,301 posts)... she needs to speak up to know were she stands doesn't fit with reality my man... I'm not seeing it
adigal
(7,581 posts)So she's acting as a public figure. Who sometimes get booed. She's an adult. She can handle it.

(20,043 posts)we see how well that worked out for Hillary when she was in the role of First Lady. Supporting your husband and/or speaking out makes YOU every bit as responsible for their presidency as them.
adigal
(7,581 posts)Not an excuse. And Hillary didn't let anyone silence her.

We have the frigging FBI and CIA working overtime to identify Trump's ties to Russian financiers, Putin, and the Russian mob.
And meanwhile, there are so-called Bernie supporters working overtime to disrupt this convention and essentially through their actions, promote the election of Donald Trump.
Imagine our US president having extensive financial and personal ties to these Russian figures.
This is unprecedented and completely obscene.
My hope at this hour is that the FBI and CIA can get fast access to Trump's tax returns. Those returns are the roadmap to identifying his Russian relationships.

So please don't write them off. Without them, Trump will win.

(11,495 posts)Are NOT really Sanders supporters. They are trouble makers, just like all the trolls that showed up here on DU during the primaries. They may have joined the party to get where they are today, but they are not who they claim to be. REAL Sanders supporters know this kind of shit is wrong, and they are speaking out against. Nobody is writing of the "REAL" supporters.

(25,816 posts)I supported Bernie. He lost. I have problems with HRC, but will support her
with my vote because trump is too horrible. Most DU Bernie people feel the same way.
I am also a member of jackpineradicals, but I think a vote for a third party
candidate is a mostly symbolic waste.

(146,249 posts)Who do you think they represent? I've been a convention delegate, myself. I can't imagine doing anything disruptive of that democratic process.
Do you know any of those delegates? If so, please text them and tell them to knock it off, please.

I will always support Bernie. Just not for President anymore.
Nice knowing you.
