Morphine Prince 109,998 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Thousands of demonstrators are taking to Philadelphia's sweltering streets Sunday, cheering, chanting and beating drums in the first major protests ahead of the Democratic National Convention, as the city wilts during a heat wave. Throngs of Bernie Sanders supporters marched down a main thoroughfare to show their support of him and disdain for Hillary Clinton ahead of the convention. Chanting "Hell No, DNC, we won't vote for Hillary" and "This is what democracy looks like," the marchers headed from City Hall down Broad Street, the main north-south artery that leads from the city center to the convention site about 4 miles away. Many carried Sanders signs, and a huge Bernie Sanders puppet was also a part of the festivities. Earlier Sunday, thousands of clean energy activists jammed a downtown street in their mile-long march from City Hall to Independence Mall, near the Liberty Bell. They held anti-fracking and anti-pipeline signs, some with illustrations like a train surrounded by a fireball and the words "No Exploding Trains." Others held "Bernie or Bust" signs. Philadelphia's protests come as Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigned under pressure as Democratic Party chairwoman, a stunning leadership shakeup as party officials gather in Philadelphia to nominate Clinton. Wasserman Schultz's announcement Sunday follows a firestorm over hacked emails suggesting the Democratic National Committee favored Clinton during the primary, despite pledging neutrality. The leaked emails prompted primary runner-up Sanders to call for Wasserman Schultz's immediate resignation.

It's completely legal, but I'm guessing that Hillary's camp is going to have people their that will try to break the peacefulness. That's why so many protesters are going through training to not turn the mood of the protest. This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKANK 14,288 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Good. Debbie Wasserman Schultz was forced to resign over accusations of rigging the election in Hillary's favor, and in response to the resignation Hillary gives her a position in the Clinton campaign, and vows to help her get re-elected? That is some fückery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Cliton's response to Shutz's resignation, she named Schultz an honorary chair of her campaign, vowed to use Schultz as a surrogate for her campaign, and vowed to campaign on behalf of Shutlz in her congressional re-election. It's unbelievable. How am I supposed to vote for this woman? I need someone to give me a reason to vote for her without using the "lesser of two evils" argument.

I've been trying to get myself to support her but I just can't do it. Bernie must cry himself to sleep at night and vomit every day he has to say nice things about her. I'll be supporting Jill Stein in this election. Not that it matters anyway because my state will go blue no matter what I do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of my vote, my state will go blue too. So, who knows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if Jill Stein can get 5% of the popular vote, then the Green Party would get federal funding next election, so with Clinton being such a bitch and my state going dem no matter what, it seems Jill is the best choice for me.
