Democracy is about accepting the voters' decision.

[Whimsey]

Not walking out and throwing temper tantrums. The expectation of entitlement because you think your way is right is at best monarchy but at worst dictatorship.

1. I agree with you, but many of the Clinton supporters on here wanted to short-circuit democracy

They were angry that Bernie wanted a proper roll call vote. You can't have it both ways.

NPR said it was a small number of delegates who walked out, most from California and a few from Wisconsin.

3. Who was angry about a roll call vote? That's nuts.

Nobody I saw.....not on here .

[Whimsey]

5. I'm sorry

Were the Hillary delegates booing everytime Hillary's name was mentioned? Were they wearing signs about their voices being silenced because they could not accept losing. In our democracy a vote is a voice.

7. I agree

If you were around yesterday, I posted a strongly worded thread denouncing the Bernie delegates who were disrupting the convention and/or saying they would vote for Jill Stein. I am glad the democratic process was allowed to play out tonight. I accept the result, as did Bernie, and apparently most of his delegates (NPR said it was only a small number who walked out).

13. Bernie did the right thing

For the party, for his supporters and himself.

What individuals do should not be reflective of the work Bernie has done the past 3 weeks in repairing the acrimony that carried over from the primary.

11. Show us some posts that were angry about the roll call. You don't have to attribute them,

just quote them to us.

I have seen nothing of the kind.

2. They really are a small and useless group of privileged idiots. Nt

4. What is the purpose of this thread?

Log off and enjoy the convention.

8. Hey, let's celebrate the convention coming together!

A few people walked out, but a lot more stayed. Let's look FORWARD!

And let's go KICK SOME ASS!!

9. Democracy depends on accurately counting the votes...

Any act(s) preventing all votes to be accurately counted is call a coup d'etat'.

Americans refuse to require an accurate vote and that's why we are in the position we are in. Elections have been stolen since the mid-1990's. And look what has happened to the middleclass, jobs, and our environment...

[Lord Magus]

12. Where were votes being prevented from counting?

Unless you're talking about what happened at the Republican ratf***ers convention.

[Whimsey]

15. Actually, votes started getting stolen in the ealy 2000's

2000 to be exact, with the supreme court. Then 2004.

I read an article today about how little input the DNC has into primaries because they are run by the state parties, but have more input into caucuses. Hillary won more primaries, Bernie won more caucuses. But caucuses are the least democratic way of determining the candidate. But Bernie supporters were fine with them.

Look at Washington State.

16. No, 1990s is the correct decade...

Exit polls, the gold standard in detecting election fraud, started to deviate in the 1990s and full on in every election since.

Facts...

10. I don't think we need to worry about california delegates

California is bright blue. Let them sulk.

14. It will be a better convention without them. nt
