Welcome to Philly. I'll be your eyes and ears on the ground. Let me know if I can get you a cheesesteak, or better yet a roast pork sandwich. Perhaps a Victory Summer Love to wash it down.
Protests have been going on for weeks. Let's hope everything goes well and everyone stays safe.
Some political star power coming through the city of brotherly love this week. Yours truly has about a 5% chance of getting into a Bill Clinton event on Wednesday at WHYY, home of the incredible Terry Gross.
Enjoy the festivities.

will there be fearmongering, hyperbole, and a balloon drop? if any of those are lacking, it ain't a proper convention."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."0 -
It would be awesome if the balloons were filled with nitrous. Do a bunch of whip-it's on convention floor.Post edited by CH156378 on0

Security is tight. As close as I can get to the arena on my bike.
Bernie protesters are already starting to gather at the park across the street.0 -

Your post made me think of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Are the Bernie people everywhere for Hillary / the DNC or there in protest of same?
Meaning, are they there for Sanders or in support of the candidates?

No clue. Didn't get a chance to chat with anyone. Am sure I will this week. There are definitely some here to protest but I just saw a ton of Bernie shirts around town.
Saw one trump shirt and go figure, it was an old mustachioed white haired white man.0 -
Seriously? Since when was a convention not Boring? The elephants weren't exciting. I fell asleep several times during elephants speeches.BS44325 said:Booooooorrrrrrrriiiiiiing.

The DNC is now in disarray. Their own Chairwoman just had her speaking slot taken away.

Watching Bernie Sanders on the Sunday shows this morning should be painful for all those who applauded Cruz's stance at the RNC convention. He is throwing out all his principles even after the email leaks and even after a non-progressive was names to the ticket.0 -
I'm looking forward to Sanders speech. I'm sure it's going to draw up a lot of attention considering these new developments.0

With all the talk of the Republican party nominating an authoritarian in waiting it is amazing which party actually behaved with a more authoritarian bent throughout the primaries.0

Oh come on, you are not actually saying that political maneuvers within a party are comparable to "they are rapists, build a wall, nuke Europe, start trade war with China, ban and register a religion" rhetoric, are you? That's ridiculous.BS44325 said:With all the talk of the Republican party nominating an authoritarian in waiting it is amazing which party actually behaved with a more authoritarian bent throughout the primaries.

Up until this point one party has behaved with an authoritarian bent while another party hasn't. If a campaign is really supposed to reflect how one might govern then the concerns of authoritarianism are clearly being pointed in the wrong direction. #demexit is trending for a reason.rgambs said:
