Did anyone watch last night's closeout coverage at 1 AM?

[brooklynite]

They were broadcasting from the floor of the Hall and there was a credentialed person waving a JILL STEIN poster in front of the camera.

[think]

1. Your candidate won. Congratulations. It was a great convention and Hillary gave a wonderful speech

[Haveadream]

6. Isn't she your candidate also?

This isn't about the primary; its about the GE. Stein is our opposition.

[think]

11. Can you take a compliment or not? good grief.

[Haveadream]

12. Using the words "your candidate" rather than "our candidate"

when discussing the intrusion of Jill Stein voters at our convention does not read as a positive.

[think]

13. Good bye.

[JaneyVee]

29. Yeah, good idea, you should probably just leave.

[think]

31. Thanks...

[JaneyVee]

34. Who's your candidate?

Simple question.

[think]

36. I'm most likely voting for Hillary. And the convention helped make me much more likely to.

As well as her speech. it was a really good speech and seemed very sincere.

[Justice]

14. Good point.

[BobbyDrake]

16. Technically, they wrote "you're candidate," which is even worse due to ignorance of grammar.

Have some sympathy for someone who tries to call themselves "think" and then can't even use homonyms correctly.

[think]

37. I corrected it just for you Bobby. Thanks for the compliment.

[BobbyDrake]

42. There was no compliment in my comment, so don't try to play like there was.

And "Good bye" to you now.

[think]

44. Thank you

[think]

46. I love all you new members. You're so warm and congenial....

[themaguffin]

15. Good grief? Isn't she our candidate? Good grief indeed if you can't call the D nominee at *DU* our..

candidate. Wow.

[Haveadream]

18. The comment is also not in any way germane to the OP

except to challenge the criticism of Stein intruders at our convention. Wrapping an argument in a congratulatory message doesn't change the intent. Stein is our opposition and Dems are right to reject people who are literally promoting her at our convention.

[think]

19. Was my compliment insincere? I said it was a great convention and Hillary made a wonderful speech.

[Haveadream]

22. If there is uncertainty about the motives of those who support Stein rather than our nominee

in Democratic spaces, the best way for that to be resolved is by addressing that specific issue, which not coincidentally is also the subject of the OP.

[think]

23. Hillary won. It was a great convention. She gave a great speech.

[LongtimeAZDem]

28. "Was my compliment insincere?" It sure came across that way, yes (nt)

[pnwmom]

21. It was a dismissive poke. Not a compliment. n/t

[think]

24. Hillary won. It was a great convention. She gave a wonderful speech.

[hobbit709]

27. With all the cows some people are having over this, there should be a gigantic BBQ.

[think]

39. It would be some feast....

[Cha]

25. Good question! It most certainly is about the General Election. What's that

have to do "with your candidate"?!

No one is fighting the primaries here.. that's over and done with.

This is about getting Hillary elected.. who should be the candidate of everyone who posts on this board now.

USA!! USA!!

[Haveadream]

32. It certainly is, Cha!

Some conflate their need to keep fighting the primary with support for GE opposition candidate Stein.

Mahalo, Cha!











Stronger together!!

[Cha]

40. they certainly do. This is about our candidate Hillary Winning Against dt and whomever else is out

there running against her.

USA!! USA!!

[merrily]

35. Please."Your choice of candidate in the primary won the primary" is the clear meaning of that post.

[NurseJackie]

2. My guess is this: The number of people who actually saw that display ...

... is a good indicator of how many votes she'll get.

[liberal N proud]

3. Exactly

[NCTraveler]

7. +1

[riversedge]

10. I did not see it. Actually glad I missed it. I wanted to savor the moment.

[Peigan68]

4. I saw it too and they were really obnoxious about it. No one around was even trying to stop them

And how did they get the Jill Stein sign into the convention hall in the first place?

[sufrommich]

5. And this is why we need closed primaries. nt

[glennward]

8. Yes. nt

[redstatebluegirl]

9. The party MUST get a handle on this type of thing so it doesn't happen again!

We can't have credentialed delegates waving signs for candidates outside of our party. Closed primaries would fix this. If an independent or green party person wants coverage, they need to have a strong candidate and their own party and convention. They can't piggyback on ours!

[The Second Stone]

17. Get active and make it happen. You have my support

And I want that to apply to candidates too. No Johnny come lately types.

[Nonhlanhla]

20. Members of the Green Tea Party do not belong at our convention. nt

[Cha]

41. Yeah, they work against us.. next time keep them out.

[tonyt53]

26. Yep, I saw it. Thing is, only people up watching at that time were Hillary supporters anyway.

Well maybe the Trumpster too because he was too pissed off to sleep.

[workinclasszero]

30. JILL STEIN

Trump luvs you.

[merrily]

33. LOL!

[bigwillq]

38. Cool.

I guess not everyone agrees with me or you. That's fine with me.

[sarae]

43. So the Green Party is having their convention soon...

Aug 4-7, 2016, in Houston, TX.

I wonder if they would appreciate people showing up to protest? Their nomination is Saturday, Aug 6.

[bigwillq]

45. I hope folks do

I wouldn't mind it at all.

[sarae]

47. People could show up chanting "right-wing tool"

and holding signs that say "pseudoscience", and "lies, lies, lies".

That way Jill Stein could hear the voice of the people.

[bigwillq]

48. Fine by me

If that's they choose to do. That is their right.

[sarae]

49. Ok, thanks! :)
