2. Reddit is where that belongs not here.

Talk of disrupting the convention, and that is what this is I think, do not belong here.

4. If you guys had your way, the only thing that would belong here are the super loyal Clinton

followers. The OP said nothing about disruption.

5. Why not? The Convention is open to ALL democrats.

3. So, anyone can attend the convention? Or does "Bern the Convention" mean something else?

6. sounds like a threat to me

we should report this to the Secret Service since it's a National Special Security Event

11. Over the top much?

The SS couldn't help figure out Hillary's E-mail issues so what makes you think they could figure out something something as inane as make on words in a obscure political message board.

7. Then maybe we should talk about a bunch of old men and

women who have a vote in the convention and can whip out 10,000 of us with each vote. They are called Super-Delegates and they whip out our votes whenever they want to ------ rigged.

And maybe we ought to talk about closed elections where a great many people are not allowed to vote for a candidate they support ------rigged.

Better that we talk about what is happening all across the country with the same problems for voters-----rigged.

Better that I tell you what is happening in one convention after another - slates if candidates put forward to run the party next election, including DNC candidates, who no one knows anything about or what or who they represent. Most likely establishment. ------ rigged.

You are asking for a coronation without any input from the opposition. You are NOT going to get it.

BTW if you bother to go in and look what is being done there is nothing destructive about it and in fact there are classes about non-violent protests.

10. the reason for our cognitive dissonance

is that signing on for the corporate media/DNC narrative requires that you ignore the evidence of your experience and your senses. instead you have to sign on to ideas like "even though she's as solid a neocon as there ever was, she's a progressive" and "strangers give you millions of dollars and expect nothing in return." it's faker than fake, and a great many of us refuse to ignore the evidence of our senses ("fact-based" for short).

the social media attack squad is really out in force i see. you put out any idea that isn't already rubberstamped and you get hidden in 2 seconds.

party discipline even the communist part of the soviet union would approve of.

for shame.

8. Someone could make a killing stocking up on Cheetos to sell to the "Bern the Convention" crowd. nt

9. Nobody in the real world cares about Reddit.

If anything Reddit should be kept far away from your political movement.

12. Chicago 1968?

13. You wish! nt

15. It would see that they actually do.

14. So you wish to commit violence at the convention? Kinda what "burning the convention"

denotes, and from what we've seen so far with how Reddit organized groups wishing to "bern" things work out, with that Trump rally in Chicago and the California gauntlet to abuse and harass women and children.
