2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThe first mention of Hillary, chants of BERNIE that shut everything down for
almost a full minute. DURING A PRAYER.
If this continues, we are going to be shamed in front of the entire country. I hate these selfish people so much.

(3,897 posts)So any show of assertion is now trumpy? How about the trumpy behavior of those people?
chascarrillo
(3,897 posts)To my mind, that's very Trumpesque.

(37,748 posts)I often ask visitors to leave my place if they are not following the most basic rules of civility and decorum. I'd giggle at anyone who didn't do the same (and make a point to avoid their place-- how smelly and filthy it must indeed, be).
However, I empathize with you that denying even the most vulgar to do and say what they will, when they wish, in whatever forum they wish it is "Trumpesque"

No, if they try to evict or rescind the creds of the protesters, it is going to get physical - and very ugly. This is a battle of ideas that is only going to be resolved by words or persuasion.
Bernie needs to get onstage and stay there until he convinces "his people" to see the light of what they are doing - and calm them down.

(11,142 posts)If they disagree, they can correct the mistake by showing their deed to the property.
Alternatively, they can conduct themselves as adults. We are not talking about someone's speech on account of their point of view. When we are talking about basic rules of decorum, it is not a negotiation. If people can't control themselves, and insist on acting like tantrum-throwing five-year-olds, they shouldn't expect much sympathy when they are treated as such.
(And I highly doubt it would get physical. If needed, their creds can be pulled tonight, ensuring that they are kept far away from the floor for the remainder of the convention.)

(934 posts)I guess it was a show of assertion when the mob booed Sanders today.
Give it up dear. Sanders got played. And now poor Senator Sanders has to face the very hard truth that this mob doesn't love him. This mob doesn't respect him. This mob used him, and now they're done with him.

(37,748 posts)When we have nothing else of substance, we predicate our own vulgarity on the actions of others. It's an irrational behavior that the lazy mind justifies as warranted.

(9,494 posts)If that's what they want, if Trump is their choice, then they will have to live with him and live for decades in the dark shadow of his Supreme Court.
I'm lucky, in 5 years I can retire anywhere (I'm looking at Puerto Vallarta). I don't have kids and the rest of my family is loaded. I feel sorry for everyone else if we blow this one.

(36,926 posts)A friend who lives in Calgary says he knows the perfect condo for us. If Rump "wins" we're outta this hell hole.
Walk away
(9,494 posts)Friends of mine just retired early there and you cannot believe the place they are building for themselves with ocean views in a terrific neighborhood with tons of culture. Even their dog loves his new doggie day care!
Tonight we Skyped while they had coffee in a little café on the water while people strolled arm and arm along the promenade. If I could do it earlier I would go now. I already started to brush up on my Spanish.
That's why it amazes me that so many Bernie supporters, who are so young, feel inclined to make Hillary look bad and help Trump win. It's going to be their problem and not mine.
MoonRiver
(36,926 posts)We have also talked before about getting a place in Canada, but if Rump actually becomes president, I think we'll do it.
Walk away
(9,494 posts)but a little too cold for me.
MoonRiver
(36,926 posts)But we would keep our house in the US. So unless this place turned into a police state we could go back and forth. It is that possibility that would push us to buy in Canada. BUT I really do think Hillary is going to win!
Walk away

Many of the Sanders people have been afraid of being pushed into silence and they are trying to make there presence in the convention obvious.
It's all part of the circus.

(4,311 posts)They will not stop any time Hillary's name is mentioned. This is WORSE than the RNC. This is not normal.

And I think they'll get tired and settle down, at least until someone arouses them to break out in chants, again.

Major consolation is that these people won't be attending any more conventions.
LisaM
(27,863 posts)I'm sorry, conventions are about pursuing the business of the party (including voting on a platform) and constant disruption and yelling for the sake of yelling is completely unproductive.
They got rid of DNC. They got a guy on the platform committee who isn't even vote to vote Democratic. They've pushed their phony 'rigged primary' to the absolute limit.
And yet they go on, and on, and on......

I think they'll get this out of their system soon. But it may take some marching up and down and around the aisles. Which is also pretty common historically.
