Day 1 was a barn burner. I personally think Day 2 was fine, but not to the same level. We'll see where day 3 takes us!

Scheduled speakers:

"As is customary, Harris’s running mate will take to the podium on day three.

The Democratic party stopped a non-Democrat from getting their nomination?

Holy fucking shit! Crime of the century! How DARE the Democratic party ensure a Democrat was the Democratic party's nominee for President!

Independent. Not Democrat. The Democrats throw him bones because he caucuses with them.

Oprah said tonight she's a registered independent. Do you Dems still want her vote or not?

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Oprah has nothing to do with the fact that Bernie is not and has not been a Democrat.

Stop whatabouting.

Oh, so the Democratic establishment stopped Bernie supporters from voting in Democratic primaries? No? And your response was a non sequitur?

Here's how this conversation has gone so far:

  • You: Clinton dynasty!
  • Me: One generation consisting of two people who aren't even related isn't a dynasty.
  • You: (Topic change) Fuck responding to your point, I'm just here to hate on Clinton cheating her way into the nomination and giving us Trump!
  • Me: She didn't give us Trump, and you sound like a conspiracy theorist. Clinton didn't cheat, she literally just got way more votes in the 2016 primaries because her voters showed up and Bernie's didn't.
  • You: (Topic change) Fuck responding to your point, here's an Instagram post that pushes my favorite conspiracy theories about the DNC, none of which acknowledge that Clinton's voters turned up and Bernie's didn't!
  • Me: Just gonna point out that the DNC didn't stop Bernie's supporters from voting.
  • You: (Topic change) I said, fuck responding to your point, here's a random video from some guy arguing that both parties are the same!

Since that's how this has gone, here's my last response on this thread:

  • Me: Why hasn't literally everyone blocked this guy yet? Well, I guess I'll do my part.

I cordially invite you to reassess how you interact with people, but you've lost the opportunity to do that with me. Bye.
