Oh goodie, more MSNBC “Why Aren’t You Going to Vote For Hillary” bullshit.
Apparently Barbara Boxer is the shortest person in the Senate, at 4’11”
EDIT: And I found a number for Mikulski: she’s also 4’11”.

I never realized Boxer was that short. My dad’s mom was an inch taller. I don’t think she ever weighed more than 100 pounds.
Okay, I’m sobbing at the 102 year old woman delegate from Arizona getting to cast the delegate vote for HRC.
Arizona was cool. That woman was born before women could even vote!

Apparently Dianne Feinstein is 5’10”, which I find surprising.
Lots of tweeters complaining about the roll call vote, but this is one goofy reason I like watching conventions.
I just watched my delegates go. For HRC!

Yeah I knew she was taller than Boxer but not that tall.
The #bernitdown idiots are all over The Atlantic, Salon and just about everywhere else complaining about our authoritarian tyranny (yeah, they said that)in complaining about booing every person onstage.
I had to start blocking them on the The Atlantic when I was accused of…wait for it…reverse racism …for not recognizing that all social problems stem from economics.
An abstention is worth a bucket of warm piss. Sorry, Lyndon.
I would have preferred if she was nominated by acclamation, as Obama was (on her suggestion). But I guess this was done not to piss off Bernie’s delegates.

I pointed out when talking about Brexit the other day but what Stein and some of the lefties justifying the vote missed was that parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland have had just as much if not more economic troubles than England have and did not resort to scapegoating immigrants in the EU.

Among a great many other results, I hope this election puts a goddamned stake in the heart of personal popularity polling.
Who gives a shit if you “like” Hillary Clinton, or anybody else? I would pay a decent sum of money to make the “would I have a beer with this candidate” metric die a swift and lasting death. This is emphatically not the point.

Between Ron Paul and Bernie, it amazes me how many young people fell for both of these guys and saw them as some sort of revolutionaries when to be quite honest, both Bernie and Ron Paul are relics of a time gone by.
I gotta say, I love the tradition of the roll call vote. It may be cathartic for the Sanders folks, or closure, or something. At this point I don’t care, because I’m smiling and laughing along with the convention goers.

I agree with you…but it won’t.

Elections are won on feelings and perception, not reason.
People generally choose the person they like and then construct the reasons working backwards from there.

It’s worth noting that most of the states, even those that went to Bernie, are announcing the votes for HRC as votes for the “next President of the United States, Hillary Clinton.”
I understand why people want to like candidates. I just refuse to see why Clinton is made out to be this unlikable person who will sell ou the left the first chance she gets.

I was fucking astonished when I saw college age demonstrators carrying Soviet flags and red revolution banners on the streets in Philly yesterday and acting like American voters would think that was a great thing.
Sanders’ version of socialism had some traction in the middle of the Great Depression. A true red banner revolution was actually warned about on the floor of Congress and it was not hyperbole.
That shit is not going to happen today, and you are not going to get American voters to sign on to an overt socialist agenda or a POTUS who believes in it.

There’s an arrogance to them. They ignore how Obama was treated for being perceived as a socialist and they think Bernie would get off okay when he’s an admitted Democratic Socialist. The term doesn’t bother me at all FWIW but they really have no idea how much that word can scare a lot of voters. And it’s why their argument “Well Bernie polls better than Clinton does” was so silly, yeah the RNC and Republican alligned PACs haven’t told the entire country that Bernie is a Marxist who plays the Internationale while kissing a portrait of Stalin. The red baiting sucks but they were blind to being a vulnerability for Bernie and agh do not get me started on people who think highly of people like Che.

Soviet Communism had homophobia, sexism, and racism. As I’ve said more than a dozen times, so many socialists are blind to that tehre are concerns not economic and Bernie is one of those. It doesn’t mean Bernie is racist, sexist, or homophobic, it does mean that he’s not as understanding about those issues as he ought to be.
It all boils down to real cut to the chase simplicity. Hillary Clinton or a fucking lifetime con man who has ripped off millions, owes people millions, would undo every last vestige of social and medical advances and who has ties to the fucking Russian fucking leadership who is anything but friendly to us. Simple. If you need a purity test, that should be the one that jumps out at you. If not, go home and let the adults get down to brass tacks. Bernie is for Hillary. Wake the fuck up.

Soviet communism was also fundamentally a kleptocracy where the party leaders were able to steal everything in sight. So it wasn’t even a viable economic system.

Sanders has entire libraries full of hidden skeletons waiting for oppositions research to let loose in public. The honeymoon in the Soviet Union. The creepy writings on teenagers and sex in the early 70’s. His ties to pro Iranian groups in the 80’s. Every weird thing he has said in tv interviews.
Sanders would be destroyed in 60 second soundbites and every single one would be something really unsettling that most Americans would never have heard about from him at all.

I’m watching it and just reveling in it. I could focus on bitterness but why? That doesn’t net anything except make me feel bad. The majority of the votes are going for HRC. The crowd is cheering. It’s great.
There was a woman who cast her state’s delegates for HRC who was born before women could vote - and I hope she lives to see her win the election. That’s amazing. It’s meaningful.

Oh? On that one, I think it’s a nontroversy after I looked at the whole context and seeing it was in the Gorby years and it was in Burlington’s sister city. A weird honeymoon but not something I would judge but I do think it’s something hte RNC and the their allied PACs would pounce on.
seriously—when they get though the roll call if there isn’t a call for acclimation, when and how do they announce the superdelegate votes? Anyone know?

Yeah, I have seen other stuff and not all of it can be definitely established this long afterwards…but since when did political commercial makers give a shit about definitive proof you could enter in court?
slate.com
In the 1970s, Sanders chaired the left-libertarian Liberty Union Party and competed in two Senate campaigns and two gubernatorial campaigns under its banner. “Liberty Union calls for a reduction of the U.S. military,” said the party’s statement of principles. That’s a wholly reasonable position, but it continued, “A return to the system of local citizen militias and Coast Guard would provide our nation with ample protection and also protect us from the imperialist impulses of our leaders.” That sounds a lot like getting rid of America’s standing Army.
There’s more. In 1980, Sanders served as an elector for the Socialist Workers Party, which was founded on the principles of Leon Trotsky. According to the New York Times, that party called for abolishing the military budget. It also called for “solidarity” with the revolutionary regimes in Iran, Nicaragua, Grenada, and Cuba; this was in the middle of the Iranian hostage crisis.
If Sanders ever truly supported disbanding the Army and defunding the Defense Department, he abandoned these positions when he got into national politics. Nevertheless, Republicans will be able to run ads saying that Sanders was part of a communist political party that called for eliminating the military budget, and fact-checkers will not be able to contradict them.

Right, in full context, I don’t care at all that he did that. I do think it would be something that a RNC opps researcher would have a field day with. I just imagine voice over of Reagan talking about the “Evil Empire” and another voice saying “Did you know Bernie Sanders honeymooned in the USSR?” I don’t have a problem with it Sergey. I just think it’s something that could easily be exploited. I mean we saw how Obama saying that wealth needs to be shared was twisted into him promoting hte Communist manifesto by McCain.

It was still the cold war and it never looks good on any political resume to go take a honeymoon (of all things) over in the territory of the geopolitical enemy of your country for the past 50 years.
It still looks pretty damned weird now, truth be told. Who the hell thinks that the freaking Soviet Union is a must see on your honeymoon ? It is so strange and off putting as to bring overall judgement and temperament into serious question.

To be fair, it was the sister city of the town he was mayor of. I mean I think it’s kind of quirky too but it was the age of glasnost too. I mean definitely not a move you do if you have serious presidential aspirations down the road but i highly doubt Bernie in the late 80’s thought he would be where he is now.
re: #119 Scottishdragon
It was the time of hope and USSR was opening up. I remember how around that time (maybe right in 1988) there was some international peace march or something like that in our city, lots of Americans… So I find it a good step on Bernie’s part.
re: #114 klys (maker of Silmarils)
I think the superdelegate votes are getting wrapped into the roll call. Minnesota is casting 93 votes right now, I think they said, and from the election tracker they had 77 pledged.

You’re again viewing this through a sensible lens. Glasnost may as well be be borscht to most Americans. i don’t think anyone here has a honest to God problem with Bernie doing it just that it’s something we feel the RNC an their allied PACs would try to make into an issue.

You pair that up with the actual fact that he was an elector for a Marxist political group in 1980 and the questions start to…ahem…arise.
It is absolutely the sort of thing that gets people denied in security clearance checks and it is one hell of a leap to ask voters to cast all that aside and put him in charge of a military that he is on the record for wanting to disband completely.
Since this has come up, the story of Trump and Putin is getting legs as well, and his refusal to release his taxes may well stem from Russian ties he does not want to admit to.

Truthfully, I think it shows tremendously poor judgement at best and could well have opened him to actual accusations of treasonous sympathies at the time given his political ties to Marxism just a few years prior.

It shows dubious judgement for a person who seeks to be a high-level operative within our political system. And really, it’s the judgement that’s the problem. He damned well knew at the time how most Americans viewed the Soviet Union. I don’t actually care what steps he traced.

No doubt but as I said, I really doubt he thought he’d be a major party candidate for the Presidency in 1988. He pretty much said as recently as 1990 if not more recently, he’d never join hte Dems because he thinks they’re as crooked as the R’s.

Can’t watch the roll call vote but honestly I think it’s great theatrics and also a total thumb in the eye of the GOP Convention. Remember, many delegates wanted a roll call and were denied that and the powers that be strong armed the whole thing and did shove Trump down their throats. On our side you have both candidates getting a fair call and getting their delegates counted, not just changed over for them. Yes I know that GOP rules said they were “bound” to vote for Trump but again, they looked shitty that whole time.

And, having spent time in the West, he saw that the Soviet approach of hermetically sealing the people off from information about the outside world (and the more unsavory aspects of their own system) would not work over the long run. He takes an approach of allowing limited access but still keeping tight controls on the media and on political activities.

re: #258 Brian J.
I do. I also recognize that the last time the party had an infestation from the hard left, it lost four of the next five Presidential elections, all by landslides.
I seem to have missed this “Infestation from the hard left”. Has nationalizing the means of production or an equivalent been proposed by Sanders et al.?
Despite what Fox News propaganda says, there is no hard left in the US that is remotely comparable in extremism + power combined to the hard right in charge of the Republican party.

re: #321 EPR-radar
The polling results that 90% of the Sanders supporters plan to vote for Clinton in November still stand, as far as I know. So there are in fact plenty of votes to be had from the left.
That “90%” number is only when a forced choice is presented and third party candidates excluded. When those constraints are removed, that number nosedives.
There is also extensive experience that shows the futility of trying to peel away Republican voters by going centrist. Trump might actually make that strategy viable this time around, but its a nice to have, not a gotta have. The gotta have is turning out the Obama coalition.
The Democrats changed their fortunes in 1992 and ended their string of ugly losses by turning to a centrist governor from the South who peeled off Republican voters (and had a lot of help from Ross Perot, who peeled off even more). He’s hoping to be First Dude this November.

Contemplated the same thing myself before using it. I say go with it - it both fits with tRump’s habit of naming people (he’s trying so hard to keep “Crooked Hillary” a thing) and applies 100% if he is in fact colluding with foreign elements to advance himself at the nation’s expense.
Given how Trump’s business is not public, there’s very little information that we can glean about who owes what to whom, and where/how he does business.
News reports of business dealings is one hint.
Then there’s the reports (credible and multiple) that US banks wont lend to him, which suggests he’s got to rely on foreign banks for his business. That means banks from Deutsche Bank to other more obscure ones.
That’s a situation no nominee for POTUS has ever been in before. There’s no way to know who has what kind of leverage on Trump. He’s not saying.

Sander also refused to turn his delegates over to her and had the vote recorded for all time as …divided.
The PP case today is of course not being covered so well in many outlets, with a great deal of misleading headlines.
The Chicago Tribune runs a feed title “Anti-abortion duo behind Planned Parenthood videos cleared”, which is different than the current article headline.
The feed line is of course misleading, as the reason the prosecutor told the judge not to go forward with the case had nothing to do with the guilt or innocence of Daleiden but rather that the case was brought improperly because the grand jury exceeded its authority.
But this legal distinction will not matter to the polemicists.

I can live with the recording of a divided vote. That should serve as a pointed reminder to not ignore the issues that were raised in the (D) primary this cycle.

If anything, I think it speaks to the nature of Clinton’s character, the fact that she let him have his way on all of this small-small shit in order to rein him in and get the band together for the road trip gives me a fair amount of faith that if we manage to flip the house and/or the Senate for her, we may actually get some shit done in this country.

Do you attribute any of that to the 25 years of conservative media and other media constant drumbeat of negatives against the Clintons?
Holder: “An already great nation. You hear that Donald?”
So Clinton and Kane have come out against TPP unequivocally:
“We need a new approach to trade,” he [John Podesta] said. “We’re not about renegotiation. We’re not kind of interested in that. We’re interested in a new approach.”
…
“They’re against it before the election and against it after the election,” [Podesta] said at a lunch sponsored by The Wall Street Journal. He said he met with House Democrats, who overwhelmingly oppose the pact, on Monday and reiterated that position. “So they know, they well know what our position is.”
I think Clinton will follow through on this, as her campaign hasn’t left much wiggle room.

It’s hard to say. I think to be completely honest in 2008 anyhow, I really genuinely liked Obama but I felt the Clintons had their team but Klys has made a great point that Clinton has gotten wehre she has on her own merits and it was sexist of me to simply judge her because of her husband. I also to be truthful did not like how Clinton ran in 2008 too. I think in the end, I was probably Clintoned out and didn’t want to give her a chance on her own merits.

At least Rage went to Trump because he shares his hatred. That little pipsqueak hates Democrats so much that he’s willing to side with the candidate whose trolls attacked him for being Jewish. HE’s sick.

But his loathing of “Leftists” will make him throw in with them ultimately.
re: #526 Bill and Opus for 2016!
I’m curious when Tim Kaine will be speaking - the DNC doesn’t have him listed on their list of scheduled speakers, and I really don’t see them not having the Vice Presidential nominee addressing the Democratic Convention.
I believe he closes tomorrow night.

Wingnuts don’t seem to understand that in order to be an actual criminal, a person has to be convicted by a jury of their peers at a trial where something called “evidence” is presented. Like it specifies in the Constitution they say they love so much.

re: #201 goddamnedfrank
I can’ t speak for Propane Jane or any other black person except myself. I didn’t vote for Sen. Sanders because his message didn’t resonate with me. I like his idea of holding the Big Banks responsible for their actions, but at the same time, I have other concerns, too, like a politician working to insure that everyone who wants to vote can vote; dealing with climate change; tackling income inequality; equal pay for women; a responsible foreign policy position that avoids stupid wars, and protecting women’s access to any healthcare service they choose to access. This isn’t the end of my list, but these are my top concerns.
And sleep beckons, thus depriving me of more DNC fun and accompanying RWNJ meltdown shenanigans. Looks like i’ll have much catching up to do in the local morning hours (especially Bill’s speech). Good night fellow lizards!

I think that’s what disturbed me the most about the Treyvon death especially. I mean even if you feel Zimmerman was defending himself, a mother still lost her child. What gets me though is they shout blue lives matter but they are the same people who cheered the Bundy Ranch assholes who actually did pull weapons on the police. They don’t care about the cops. They care about shaming African-Americans.

I’m waiting for the inevitable vultures to attack these women for their losses at the hands of law enforcement or people who thought they were cops and could kill with impunity.
What these right wingers consistently ignore is that law enforcement is not the judge/jury/executioner. When cops get to play comic book Judges and shoot first/often/and then never even get charged with a crime, even when the videos show no criminal wrongdoing by the victim, let alone indictments or convictions, there’s something seriously wrong with the criminal justice system and law enforcement that has to be addressed.
That’s a breakdown of the constitutional protections and must be addressed.
And when cops kill black people at a disproporationate clip, it’s not just black folks not following directions. We have all seen far too many videos showing blacks doing exactly what cops said, and got shot anyways. Or blacks doing nothing wrong. Or driving. Or walking. Or carrying toy guns in an open carry state. Or walking with a bb gun in an open carry state.
Or just walking home from a convenience store with a bag of candy.
This is what the black community faces on a daily basis.
And the GOP simply doesn’t care.
They trot out Blue Lives Matter - as if that is a magic retort.
If anything it is an admission that Black Lives Matter actually hits home, because Blue Lives Matter isn’t saying that all lives don’t matter, just that we need to take the concerns of cops seriously. Guess what, we need to take black lives seriously too, and need to correct serious injustices. The GOP doesn’t care about any of that.

re: #363 Jenner7
I’m glad to hear your husband is OK. As to having to buy a new car because the one he was in is probably totaled, I have a story to share. A couple months ago, I bought my daughter a new Nissan with all the bells and whistles she wanted. Long story short, she had it one week before totaling it. We’ve been dealing with the insurance companies since then. Esurance has paid its part of the claim, and we’re waiting on the gap insurance company to do its part. Talking about heartbroken. I was. New car, totaled, dealing with insurance companies, etc. The process of selecting a new car begins again after the gap insurance payment to Nissan is done. I was very angry when my daughter called and told me about he car, but I was most grateful that she and her fiance were OK. Kids, grown kids can be a headache sometimes.
