    umm, seen several different perspective shots around the arena. Place looks packed. Would say most are (75%) or more are engaged in this speech.

    show me where to look for the live half empty arena shots.

    One of my friends shared this earlier. That is actually quite a few empty seats.

    This was at 8 PM. It filled back up.
    Why were they so empty at this time?
    It was shortly after the vote so there definitely was a walk out where Bernie supporters had a protest/sit in at one of the media tents. That combined with people wanting to eat, go to the bathroom or take a break before all the big speakers.

    But it's social media. It's where the truth lies, context be damned. This is evidence that the TV was staged. It was actually film from a Bieber concert superimposed over the DNC. Remember that the revolution will not be televised (because it happened in 1776).

    Quit making excuses. Half the place was empty and it was not due to being between speakers. Those who walked out didn't come back, they continued protesting outside the convention. The Dem party will not unite at this point unless something big happens (I don't know, a personal apology from HRC herself and firing of her good friend DWS?)What a sham.

    Sped-up video of the Bernie Sanders march from beginning to end. This was just Philly, and there were LOTS of people. Sure didn't see this on any of the MSM stations.

    There are lots of things we don't see on TV because...

    Thank you Free for reminding me of this great number!

    And mrussle, bud, you're invited too!
    Which revolution is that? Just thumbing through my history books and I see one in 1776 and an unsuccessful one in 1861. Can you fill me in? Seems like we still are under the same Constitution.

    Please share the links of these alternate news sources. Because you are starting to come off as just a conspiracy theorist. Maybe if we saw your news sources, we would understand a little better.

    99.99% of the protesters outside were never in the convention. They are not delegates or donors and never had access.

    They came from Center City through a variety of marches.

    Yes, there were lots of protests. No, the convention was not empty.

    Good god, dude.

    ^^It's a conspiracy of all networks, photographers, etc. There was a stock image from either PJ or Bieber and Bill pasted in by an expert in photoshop. I'm being serious. I know this. I read it on the alt news. They are agenda free unlike the corporate media.

    All an illusion Cliffy. The media and DNC have gotten together to trick you.

    I saw a video where the place was half empty at one point in time. I have no reason to believe that that could change.

    People just don't get up out of their seats and leave and come back. I've never heard of that.

    Swung by the Today Show on my way to work and saw the whole crew. Kinda fun. I'm a nerd


    Have you had your Chic-Fil-A sandwich yet? Lol

    Not a big fast food guy. Too much good food in this city for that. Though I do enjoy a road trip for a fast food stop.

    That said Chic-Fil-A is so overrated. Wendy's Spicy Chicken >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Any sandwich at chick-fil-a.
    I will agree with the Wendy's promo with the exception of the Chic-Fil-A spicy chicken biscuit :). Those things literally hold a place in my heart...and other arteries throughout my body...
    Hmmmm....I have had their spicy chicken sandwich, just to tell anyone who has told me it's better than Wendy's that their wrong, but I don't believe on a biscuit. Will have to check that out.
    If I could eat anything without worrying about health consequences, a triple bacon-ator would be at the top of the list.

    The older one gets the harder it gets to hold it don't ya know. That's a awful long time to hold it the arena looked pretty full from the tad bit that I saw.
