I thought Democrats could handle dissent... angstlessk Jul 2016 #14
"Dissent" implies participation within a discussion. Shouting down anyone you don't like? BobbyDrake Jul 2016 #22
Dissent takes many forms...not just in debating societies angstlessk Jul 2016 #28
Every society that has died, died as a result of some kind of dissent. It's agreement that keeps BobbyDrake Jul 2016 #34
Brackets don't show up?? angstlessk Jul 2016 #37

It's a shit-show thanks to Sanders' delegates not letting anyone speak without protesting. BobbyDrake Jul 2016 #21
It's almost as if they're saying to Sanders annavictorious Jul 2016 #27
They have tired themselves out...so try to relax angstlessk Jul 2016 #35
Yes, 1860 and 1968 were crazy conventions, too. Those didn't go well for the country. Zynx Jul 2016 #29
Well, the country is still here...none has been fatal to this country. angstlessk Jul 2016 #31
Wasn't the argument of the entire Sanders campaign that the country is not working right now? BobbyDrake Jul 2016 #36

As expected. nt BobbyDrake Jul 2016 #51
Another non statement? angstlessk Jul 2016 #52
Russia "survived" Stalin, too. Doesn't mean that was a good time. Zynx Jul 2016 #41

The 1860 convention was a shitshow that led directly to the Civil War and 600,000 dead. Zynx Jul 2016 #65
Let's hope these dissenters don't start another civil war, or angstlessk Jul 2016 #66
If they help elect Trump, I make no promises. Zynx Jul 2016 #68
