    What is a seat filler? Unless it's a blowup doll, then it's another real live human being. If a CA delegate leaves and the DNC gives their seat to someone else, then it's still one person and eventually one vote. This is a dumb argument.

    You don't find paying people to fill these seats a bit fishy?
    They are not paying anyone to be there. I assume he is referencing the photo shopped craigslist posts, which didn't even use the same font.

    People are selling passes for a significant amount of money.

    Some of this shit being believed it just straight up stupid

    Thanks for clarification.

    Still not a DNC fan though. Carry on.

    By contrast, looks like the ca delegates want to be there which counters the earlier argument that it was empty. Still dumb and yet another fabricated persecution.

    Thanks for keeping everyone accountable. Is this also fabricated?

    I wish this could have been a real proud moment in America history, like when Obama gave his acceptance speech in Denver. Hundreds of thousands of people in attendance cheering on the first African American president of the United States. Such a beautiful and inspirational moment, even republicans were proud and inspired. The first woman President/nominee should feel the same way, unfortunately the vast majority of people don't feel this way. If the polls are right, if she does have a 60+ unfavorable rating, than most Americans must not be feeling all that proud. Seats are empty or are being sold, abandon, or given away because not many want to be a part of this. Not because she's a woman, but because of her character- and that's exactly how we should judge people, based on their character. Unfortunately this isn't such a proud day in American history. Sad, but true.

    2008 was so much different. And yeah, I've been hearing that delegates have left and seats are being not sold - but paid - to people who will sit in them.
    Looky here Tonifig. This was on C-SPAN. Seat fillers being used to block the entrance, stopping California delegates from entering.

    Don't make this about Obama. Hillary and the DNC are full of these tactics. Just look at the emails as some sort of evidence of that. Her not releasing her speeches is another indication of her character. Shady as Fuc! And it goes on and on.... And on.. And on... Not a very proud day in US history- 60+ untrustworthy rating ... Yeah, it must just be the whacko Bernie bros... Haha

    some dude posted this and now I'm sharing his comment:

    "Remember we were promised violence and protests and EPIC riots at the RNC and they had thousands of cops there and there were hundreds of reporters dressed in battle armor like they do during war coverage. There was a perfect storm of Cruz taking his base and revolting against the champion with the RNC ready to sweep in and destroy trump. #WE WERE PROMISED DRAMA AND HUGE FIERY VIOLENT PROTESTS AT THE RNC.

    But there was nothing. They were there reporting for the whole week preparing for the violence and it never came.

    And now we have 1/3 of the DNC protesting pretty hardcore outside the DNC and you can see the camera angles they switch to constantly to avoid and ounce of drama since the DNC is so united and perfectly harmonious. They've dumped massive banners all over the DNC coliseum and they've edited it out of every clip and made sure it never sees the light of television. It's the most perfectly crafted convention leading up to this beautiful moment to hear a woman who hasn't given a single press conference in over a year. Refuses to speak publicly about the MASSIVE MEDIA CONTROL SCANDAL that was leaked. Refuses to acknowledge the fact that the DNC STOLE this entire election from Bernie. He won more votes and he still lost. We have emails and now voicemails of DNC people disparaging ATHEISTS, JEWS, HISPANICS, and now BLACK AMERICANS. The most disgusting vile den of pure corruption and disinformation ever seen in modern times. ADOLF HITLER HIMSELF WOULD BE JEALOUS OF HOW MUCH SHE CAN GET AWAY WITH.

    And the media is silent as an empty room about it. They refuse to acknowledge it.
    Ignoring its existence will only make us stronger"

    Why can't we just get straight answers any more? Did the DNC rig the election or didn't they? Try to find an answer. New Republic (supposedly a liberal media) say "no they didn't". The Slate, an offshoot of New Republic say the DNC doesn't even know how to rig an election. NY Observer says Wikileak proves they did. Zero Hedge, a business journal says they did. The Nation says they didn't. Indianapolis Star says they did.

    I'm beginning to think everything is rigged. The whole system is kaput. The more I read about Dems and Reps the more sane Green Party looks to me. Greens take stances and nobody says "yes they did!" or "no they didn't!" It's all there. It's plain to see. Take it or leave it. I'll take it. I'm tired of all the other rotten business. How can anyone support either of those two parties anymore? What on earth is in it for you?

    Because the the green party never had to react to a monetary crisis, or an attack on 9/11, or push a budget through congress. Campaigning is easier than governing.

    Perhaps if Americans stuck with "God Bless America" things would even out.
    god fits in nicely with your election kinda like the little man (or woman as I would not want to belabelled as a sexist :smile: )

    It's amazing that the DNC can't send an email competently, but they can somehow rig an election and edit convention footage in real time. Truly amazing.

    These people obviously don't believe this but +3.7 million votes for Hillary

    We don't believe what? That she received millions of votes? When did we say we didn't believe that? Are you assuming we don't believe that? because I haven't heard one of the Bernie people mention that.

    More specifically that she received 3.7 mm votes more than Bernie. Every state he lost, it was always rigged.

    Except for all the politicians, civil servants, campaign consultants etc who are getting taxpayer and/or donor money and who are also writing off all travel as a business expense.
