How Bernie Sanders’ supporters are planning to shake up the Democratic convention

[Exilednight]

187. Oh lordy, not the chair meme again. this is getting old and quite sad.

I know that political parties are distinct from government, and nowhere did I suggest otherwise.

The purpose of the convention is to listen to the people as well as the people listening to the nominee. Many meetings take place out of site from the cameras, policy is discussed and triaged to figure which issues should be tackled first.

If you don't know that protesting goes on behind the scenes of the stage, then you really know nothing about the DNC convention.

I've been to every DNC convention since I WAS 6 years old and my most vivid memory from that convention is when President Carter sent my father to speak with Jesse Jackson and I sat quietly in the corner as my dad and Mr. Jackson got into a screaming match that ended with Mr. Jackson walking out

People also protest outside.
