The problem with silent protests, is that it's too easy to ignore them and pretend they don't exist.

Are the Hillary supporters aware that the "Love Trumps Hate" slogan is a direct quote for Bernie Sanders speeches?

Nina Turner has been so awesome. She has been a true champion for progressives. Nina has my vote in the future.

thank you soooo much for reporting this stuff. you are the only ones talking about what is happening. i try to talk with friends and neighbors, and they know nothing...because they come home from work and turn on the network....sigh. thankfully they listen to me, but I'm not as shiny or mesmerizing as the network. sigh. thank you for doing this

Funny that Trump let Ted Cruz speak...

stupid point, the slogan yes we can was universally applauded in 08 and it was manufactured and distributed at the convention as signs. but for some reason now that tactic is unacceptable. you guys are constantly changing the goal post to complain about anything you can

A protest which doesn't bother anyone is not effective. Protest by definition has to interrupt and obstruct.

we are trying to change, CHANGE HURTS, STAY WITH IT.

NINA TURNER you are my presidential candidate for 2020. Keep on speaking truth to power. You've got my vote!

How many times must a man say no before the dnc understands. The answer my friend is blowing in the wind, the answer is blowing in the wind.

Currently, while I agree that Jill Stein is the best candidate, (Although I wanted Bernie to win) I feel that there is no point to voting for her. The reason behind this being, voting for an independent, is almost useless. She's not going to win. I would bet money on it. And the issue with voting from her really comes in the face that voting for her is just splitting the democrat vote, meaning Trump will win. While I definitely dislike Hillary and all the things she's done, I think Trump is a much worse candidate. Just my opinion.
