5 stars only for Bernie, but fuuuuuuuck the rest of this convention.

The only people that are watching this are hardcore political nerds, and the party is putting a lot of effort into rebuking the left half of them. They are gonna let Michael Fucking Bloomberg speak but not the incredibly charismatic Jamaal Bowman that just won a close election in NY and *was actually a victim of Bloomberg's racist stop and frisk program*, not to mention the insult of only giving AOC 60 seconds (pre-recorded to make sure she doesn't say anything that angers donors) etc.

This sucks. It's fucking gross. The convention is always stupid anyway, but this one is a bunch of rich boomer Republicans trying to dunk on basically everybody under age 50. Some real 'end times' shit. Just obscene and repulsive in exactly the same way Trump is.

"Exactly the way trump is"

You should listen to NPR's coverage of it. They aren't holding back the jabs at the poor production, the awkward zoom-call ness of the whole thing, they are calling it for what it is too -- an anti-trump message, not really a pro-biden message, but it's still a much more accurate breakdown of anything worth mentioning about the DNC.

Yeah, Crashtar is such a Bernie bro. That’s why he downvoted this clip and every other Bernie clip in the hopper.

If Bernie had won the primary, he totally wouldn’t be cosplaying an outraged Biden moderate now.


Crackersmack - 2020-08-19

Yeah I don't like seeing Bernie get paraded out and humiliated like this. He has never been perfect, but at the end of the day he just wanted this country to be something other than a howling snakepit for people that aren't millionaires, and he has spent years of his life being vilified for it. He deserves better, we all do.


Crackersmack - 2020-08-19

also I've been listening to the NPR coverage this morning and it is surprisingly honest about how this is going

It encourages me that you can agree with me on something. Maybe next we can agree on what the best vote to cast is to prevent Trump from getting his desired four more years.

Heroic Crashtar, attacking Bernie to save Bernie


Crackersmack - 2020-08-20

Bernie doesn't need anyone to save him. He's been on the receiving end of insane mounts of abuse, called a Russian traitor on cable news, been labeled a sexist, racist, rape apologist, etc. all just because his people-centered politics threaten the profit margins of the handful of wealthy malefactors that control both political parties.

And here he is yet again doing heavy lifting for a political party where the leadership can't even hide how much they hate him. They turned this entire stupid convention into a rejection of Bernie and the youthful movement behind him. But he still showed up. Because he always has, even decades before anyone noticed.

Anyways, how was the big Colin Powell speech? I missed it. Personally I'm hoping they pull off a surprise and maybe if we're lucky we'll get a speech from Dick Cheney! Whoohoo Democrats 2020!

Speaking of speeches:

"Well, here’s the point: this president and those in power — those who benefit from keeping things the way they are — they are counting on your cynicism. They know they can’t win you over with their policies. So they’re hoping to make it as hard as possible for you to vote, and to convince you that your vote doesn’t matter. That’s how they win. That’s how they get to keep making decisions that affect your life, and the lives of the people you love. That’s how the economy will keep getting skewed to the wealthy and well-connected, how our health systems will let more people fall through the cracks. That’s how a democracy withers, until it’s no democracy at all.

We can’t let that happen. Do not let them take away your power. Don’t let them take away your democracy. Make a plan right now for how you’re going to get involved and vote."


Crackersmack - 2020-08-20

Well if there's anyone that knows how to skew an economy to the wealthy and well-connected it's that useless asshole. I also like the cynicism of him saying that Republicans can't win on policy when Democrats are running the most vapid, policy-free campaign I've ever seen.

Says the zero credibility Don't Vote troll


Crackersmack - 2020-08-20

Check out any polls lately? ;)

I don't trust polls, only people's actions.
