POTUS Election thread

[Xiahou]

Wow... so Gary Johnson. The guy's an idiot, huh? A libertarian who says it's the job of the federal government to prevent discrimination in all cases. That's not.... libertarian.

Is Vermin Supreme running?

[Hooahguy]

I dont know why Vermin Supreme hasnt made more headway. Who doesnt want a free pony?

Also I love him for this:



Supposedly Christie refused to get out of his bus until Vermin and his group was taken away.

I love this guy.



So, uh, what is this about:

So what's going on at the DNC?

Thats pretty interesting. Would love to know more about it and how the DNC explains this one. I heard somewhere that a number of Bernie folks were blocked from entering after they threatened to disrupt the speeches, which might tie into the other video you posted. Or they are just bitter and didnt want to show up, which kinda ruins their whole "party unity" message. But tonight it seems like it was much more full? Either way this is a two-pronged failure: by the DNC for being terrible idiots and not being completely impartial, and by Bernie and his surrogates for fomenting (or at best not halting) the Bernie or Bust movement.

EDIT: yeah seems pretty full tonight: https://www.c-span.org/video/?c46160...ial-nomination

This fellow seems to think they are seat fillers.

If true, that is hilarious and sad.

EDIT: Ive heard some people say on twitter how seat-fillers are actually common (apparently the RNC had a lot too) since its bad for optics or something? Anyone know anything more about this?

A TV camera panning across a half-empty auditorium doesn't look good, and I'd imagine that seat-fillers are common. It just doesn't look good for television, so I would be inclined to believe it's true. It's pretty common at awards shows as well, it's purely aesthetic thing for cameras.
