long read but one especially funny part:


“It doesn’t matter if you’re going to hold your nose and vote for Hillary,” said Taylor, who owns a Philadelphia landscape business. “We want people to know that you can still join us to denounce the party and join us and make an example out of the party. The Democratic Party has to earn back our respect.”

Non-Sanders groups that were approved for permits by the city include Green Party candidate Jill Stein, the anti-gun violence group Americans for Responsible Solutions PAC, and the Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign (PPEHRC).

Cheri Honkala, the organizer for the Philadelphia-based PPEHRC, said her group’s demonstration is meant to put a spotlight on the plague of homelessness and poverty in the city. She also is planning a bean supper for Sanders delegates ahead of Clinton’s acceptance speech on Thursday, hoping that the bean-filled Sanders supporters will return to the Wells Fargo Center and greet Clinton with flatulence.

“The idea is to send the message to the Democratic Party establishment that the whole system smells, and it must be changed,” she said.

You might feel different if you were a Bernie Sanders supporter. If you wanted true reform instead of another corporate shrill. You donate money to Sanders because you think it can make a difference, only to find out the party bosses don't give a shit what you think, and are actively working against you to elect someone who sucks wall street's dick.

Wikileaks Releases Nearly 20,000 Hacked DNC Emails

That is the title.

Here is the body in entirety.


Wikileaks has released nearly 20,000 emails it says are from the accounts of Democratic National Committee officials.

The release could cloud the upcoming Democratic party convention, which kicks off next week in Philadelphia.

It is unclear how Wikileaks obtained the records, but the release comes weeks after a hacker (or hackers) going by the name Guccifer 2.0 began releasing records obtained through the DNC’s computer systems. The hacker claims to be Romanian, but many suspect that the records were taken by a team of Russian hackers.
Guccifer 2.0 has said that they obtained DNC emails. Other documents released by the hacker(s) include internal planning memos and databases of Democratic donors.

The DNC, which is chaired by Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, has acknowledged that their systems were infiltrated. The party has not commented on specific information released through the hack.

According to Wikileaks, which is operated by Julian Assange, the release is “part one” of a new series it is calling “Hillary Leaks.”

The emails come from the accounts of seven DNC officials: communications director Luis Miranda, national finance director Jordon Kaplan, finance chief of staff Scott Comer, finance director of data and strategic initiatives Daniel Parrish, finance director Allen Zachary, senior advisor Andrew Wright and Northern California Finance Director and the finance director for northern California, Robert Stowe.

The emails range in date from Jan. 2015 to May 25 of this year.

Top officials at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) privately planned how to undermine Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign, according to a trove of emails released by WikiLeaks on Friday.

https://www.rt.com/usa/352752-dnc-leaks-clinton-collusion/:
A WikiLeaks dump of nearly 20,000 Democratic National Committee (DNC) emails, the supposedly neutral governing organization of the Democratic Party, indicates that the committee strategized with the Clinton campaign and plotted against Bernie Sanders.

Oh would you stop being an emo faggot? You lost, move the fuck on.

That doesn't prove they rigged the system so Hillary would win. Where in there does it say, "we have a way to undermine the voters even if he wins."

All you can take away from this is party favoritism. Immoral and irresponsible and should never happen but to say this proves it was rigged, its retarded.

Also, you failed to adressed my point that in the end, they didn't even put these bullet points into action.

Do you recall Hillary or anyone in the DNC calling Bernie's beliefs into question? Or anything that was in the emails?

Pull your thumb out of your ass and respond.

[Warlord23]

Meh, I wouldn't overreact, given past history. Romney had a lead over Obama in the RCP poll average as late as Oct 20. Obama was supposed to be done after being caught on a mike telling Medvedev about being flexible after the election, after the "you didn't build that" gaffe, after the "private sector is doing fine" quote, and especially after the first debate. Romney was supposed to be finished after the 47% video, the "binders full of women" quote, the etch-a-sketch comment, etc.

Ultimately Obama's campaign infrastructure, swing-state ground game, use of analytics software etc turned what many thought would be a close election into a 126 electoral vote margin where he won every single swing state except NC. Trump has minimal campaign infrastructure and he doesn't look like he is interested in much beyond tweeting, dialing into news shows and ranting incoherently at his rallies.

IMO Trump's end game is to lose, claim that Hillary cheated, make some money out of gullible people by selling them shitty merchandise, maybe write another book and further inflate his ego.

This is probably the first sensible comment I've seen from you on this forum. Yes, a lot can happen till November. An economic shock or a terror attack on US soil would benefit Trump. There are 3 debates where Trump will need to do something other than ranting, name-calling and repeating inanities. He will need to explain his reluctance to release his tax returns. He will need to justify a lifetime's worth of insane quotes and insults. It's gonna be quite a ride.

It's not exactly the same situation. When Bush was on his way out the United States was pretty much burnt on all fronts and the country was sinking faster than Bush's approval ratings. His name was toxic and no one wanted to campaign with him because he was a death sentence to any Republican. At this point Obama is completely the opposite. His approval ratings are high and most Democrats are latching on to him. It will take something catastrophic to put Obama in Bush's league on his way out the door. Without all of these self-inflicted wounds this election should have been very easy for Hillary but the last month the narrative has been in Trump's favor thanks to the gaffs and fear mongering. Per usual, the American people are scared of their own shadows so the Doomsday talk tends to work.

[Pelicans78]

Cory Booker, future president right here

This is his 2004 Obama moment. Which means he will be the nominee in 2020 assuming Hillary loses in 2016.

[ElNono]

Cory Booker, future president right here

New Joisey repping...

[DarrinS]

Cory Booker, future president right here

I thought he would be better. I've seen him give better speeches -- he's a smart dude.

[TheGreatYacht]

Agreed :tu this guy gets it. Saw a lot of him recently during the filibuster last month

[Spurminator]

Booker was a little heavy on the "Trump says mean things" stuff.

[Reck]

Cory is laying it on. Truth

[TheGreatYacht]

I thought he would be better. I've seen him give better speeches -- he's a smart dude.
I like that his speech is "Why you should choose Hillary". Something the RNC didn't do enough for Donald last week

[Reck]

The faggots BLM made it into the building.

[DarrinS]

BLM chant distracting

[djohn2oo8]

He's killin right now

[Reck]

Damn this guy should have been Hillary VP. She fucked up.

[Pelicans78]

He should wrap it up soon.

[hitmanyr2k]

Cory is thinking I have these MFs now. If Hillary fails 2020 baby!! :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Booker stealing the show, holy shit :wow

Wouldve been my top choice for VP

[DarrinS]

He finished pretty strong

[Reck]

Cory should have been the keynote speaker. I'm not sure Warren can deliver that same impact.

[Pelicans78]

Booker stealing the show, holy shit :wow

Wouldve been my top choice for VP

Honestly, he would have overshadowed Hillary and she can't afford that. I think Kaine makes her alot more comfortable in general and will help compliment her.

[hitmanyr2k]

Honestly, he would have overshadowed Hillary and she can't afford that. I think Kaine makes her alot more comfortable in general and will help compliment her.

With her approval ratings getting overshadowed is exactly what Hillary needs lol. Booker just showed why he would have been a good choice for VP. He provides positive energy and he actually shut up the Bernie supporters for a minute :lol

[Reck]

I gotta say, all these late speakers are saving Hillary's old ass tonight. :lol

He would have been a good choice in general, but no one votes for a VP. Hillary has to win this on her own accords and I think working with someone she is really comfortable with like Kaine will do that. Plus, his experience will only help her on policy matters and also deliver a knockout blow to Pence in the VP debates.

[TheGreatYacht]

Booker is more charismatic than Hillary, this is true. Some of it also would've rubbed off on her though and that's why I would've chosen him.

Tim Kaine is still a great pick, tbh. Dems who haven't heard him yet will love him

[hitmanyr2k]

I think different. Sarah Palin could have delivered McCain the White House if she weren't so damn stupid :lol When McCain announced her as VP it was a monumental swing in the polls and they had all of the momentum...until they could hide her no longer lol. I think VPs could make a big difference these days.

[TheGreatYacht]

Anyone know who's going to be the last speaker? Really hope it isn't Bernie :lol don't want the chaos to be the last thing undecided voters remember from tonight.

[angrydude]

So the democrats found their next articulate black man to run for president? I swear, a black person exhibits the smallest degree of intelligence and the democrats act like the sky opened.

[hitmanyr2k]

Anyone know who's going to be the last speaker? Really hope it isn't Bernie :lol don't want the chaos to be the last thing undecided voters remember from tonight.

Yeah, they made a big mistake having Booker and Michelle go first. They should have been the finishers. I think this is going to end on a bad note with Bernie :lol Part of me almost wants to see him turn heel and go the Ted Cruz route.

[Pelicans78]

Palin helped a bunch but McCann really lost the election when the economy crashed right before the election. And plus like you said, she lost her credibility over time. Really, I think Kaine may be the best VP candidate I've seen in my lifetime and I grew up in the Reagan years. He's not gonna make any stupid mistakes or hurt Hillary in any way. And he's gonna deliver a big beatdown to Pence in the VP debates.

[hitmanyr2k]

So the democrats found their next articulate black man to run for president? I swear, a black person exhibits the smallest degree of intelligence and the democrats act like the sky opened.

A white guy doesn't have to exhibit any intelligence at all and they still get in the White House lol. Think about it. Reagan had no brains. His administration was being run by his wife and a psychic for fuck's sake :lol And we've all seen Dubya's mental capacity. And now Republicans are trying to elect a know-nothing reality TV troll who doesn't show the first damn clue.

[Pelicans78]

Bernie needs to do a good job tonight. No counting his delegates, lol. We need him to be a uniter.

[Splits]

Not sure why everyone thinks Booker's speech was so amazing. A lot of platitudes, a lot of shouting. It was positive, a bit uplifting, and definitely not poorly executed, but not much in terms of groundbreaking ideas or "I'm Barack 2.0".

6/10

[DMX7]

The protesters are annoying as hell right now.

[hitmanyr2k]

Even Grandma Warren is doing a decent job. Her voice tends to grate my nerves lol.

[DarrinS]

Warren :sleep

[Spurminator]

Too much Trump talk from Warren. This has been a pattern with her ever since she endorsed Clinton.

[Will Hunting]

Do they actually have anything good to say about shillary or is the theme going to solely be "Clinton might suck but hey at least she's not Trump!"

[SnakeBoy]

Waiting for her to just come out and call Trump the antichrist

[pgardn]

Rah, rah cheerleading before Obama came with the goods.

It was a great set for a spike by Michelle O.
I would say it worked well.

[hitmanyr2k]

Too much Trump talk from Warren. This has been a pattern with her ever since she endorsed Clinton.

Well, she's not lying lol. Trump doesn't really have many specifics. The guy babbles. There's a reason she gets under his skin. He knows she's right.

[Will Hunting]

Well, she's not lying lol. Trump doesn't really have many specifics. The guy babbles. There's a reason she gets under his skin. He knows she's right.
i still thought it was funny when he called her Pocahontas :lol

[pgardn]

The truth does not hurt in this case.

Even though Hillary finds the truth very difficult.

[Spurminator]

Well, she's not lying lol. Trump doesn't really have many specifics. The guy babbles. There's a reason she gets under his skin. He knows she's right.

I just think there are better uses of Warren than as the primary attack dog to sic on Trump.

[DarrinS]

A lot of hypocrisy in this Warren speech. Smh.

[Will Hunting]

I just think there are better uses of Warren than as the primary attack dog to sic on Trump.
Agreed, I think that would have probably been best for Slick Willy or Biden.

[Pelicans78]

Agreed, I think that would have probably been best for Slick Willy or Biden.

Yeah, Biden's pretty good at that. I still remember when he shredded McCann during the 2008 convention.

[hitmanyr2k]

Agreed, I think that would have probably been best for Slick Willy or Biden.

No, no, nooooooo lol. Warren can be an attack dog because Trump really can't hit her back with much except that lame Pocohontas name. If Bill goes on the attack Trump has a warchest of shit he can unleash him.

[DarrinS]

So far, best speech was Michelle Obama. :lol

[Will Hunting]

:lol do they really have the audacity to call this the "most progressive platform in history"

[pgardn]

A lot of hypocrisy in this Warren speech. Smh.

Now Warren goes positive about Hillary and the girls with nose ring starts to frown and look around like wtf? The Bernie group is still pissed.

[hitmanyr2k]

Yeah, Biden's pretty good at that. I still remember when he shredded McCann during the 2008 convention.

Biden took down Rudy Guliani's campaign in one line :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

These are great speeches and all, but they ain't Scott Baio great



:lmao

[Pelicans78]

I really think going after Trump is the best strategy. His negatives are so low that he has to be attacked over and over especially when Hillary has low negatives. They can't really just prop up Hillary without terrorizing Trump in the process.

[FkLA]

I hope the great Bermard Sanders pulls a Ted Cruz tbh.

[Will Hunting]

Yeah, Biden's pretty good at that. I still remember when he shredded McCann during the 2008 convention.

His Giuliani one-liner was the GOAT

[hitmanyr2k]

I'm surprised no one has hit on Trump's taxes yet and why he won't release them. They killed Mitt Romney with that and it worked.

[Will Hunting]

No, no, nooooooo lol. Warren can be an attack dog because Trump really can't hit her back with much except that lame Pocohontas name. If Bill goes on the attack Trump has a warchest of shit he can unleash him.

Trump would unleash what he has regardless. The thing about Willy is that swing voters/centrists worship the ground he walks on and he's still the most charismatic speaker of any politician out there. He'd find creative ways to take Trump down that no one else would be able to pull off.

[TheGreatYacht]

Thought they were removing Bernie signs?

Lol repugs reaching for straws

[Reck]

Bernie's supporters are all unstable. Crying like the man is about to die. :lmao

[hitmanyr2k]

What a mistake to have Bernie on last :lol This night is going to end in two ways. Either Bernie turns heel or his supporters are going to boo the shit out of this convention when he tries to bridge the gap to Hillary.

[Will Hunting]

OK quit saying thank you and start your fucking speech

[Pelicans78]

What a mistake to have Bernie on last :lol This night is going to end in two ways. Either Bernie turns heel or his supporters are going to boo the shit out of this convention when he tries to bridge the gap to Hillary.

I agree. He should have been right before Michelle.

[Pelicans78]

Oh geez, Bernie is turning this into the 1968 convention :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

You crying too, fam? FkLA

Bernie will be alright

[Pelicans78]

This is why the Republicans never let Ron Paul speak at their conventions.

[Will Hunting]

:lol is he actually going to turn on Shillary, this might be epic

[DarrinS]

Damn -- are some of his supporters crying?

[Pelicans78]

Bernie will be alright

He's gonna be one of the most powerful senators in the country after this.

[hitmanyr2k]

Looks like Bernie borrowed Trump's orange spray tan. Unlike Trump at least Bernie has the smarts to spray around his eyes.

[Spurminator]

Bernie fans seem to want to hear him speak less than anyone else in that building.

[TheGreatYacht]

He's gonna be one of the most powerful senators in the country after this.
Yup :tu

[TheGreatYacht]

Really wanted Bernie to say "it's not about the damn emails"

[FkLA]

This is so beautiful. People crying. Can you imagine the snake inspiring this kind of emotion and getting this kind of reception?

[boutons_deux]

He's gonna be one of the most powerful senators in the country after this.

If Repugs keep the majority, it won't matter.

If Dems get 60, it won't matter. "redmap" has locked up the House (and 2/3 of the states) for the Repugs. Strict obstructionism will continue, America will continue to decline.

[Reck]

Get to the point, old man.

[Will Hunting]

The Southern n!ggers might give her that kind of reception since they're all sheep and their preacher tells them she's god.

It could easily change with Trump causing a massacre for the GOP this year.

[angrydude]

So not very powerful at all then?

[hitmanyr2k]

So far Bernie is doing a good job with this variation of his usual stump speech. Just don't mention Hillary's name. Refer to her by her initials or something.

[Pelicans78]

The $125,000 number used is asinine. People who make that much can easily afford college for their kids.

[angrydude]

Seriously, both Hillary and Bernie need to learn how to modulate their voices when giving speeches. It sounds like they're just yelling for 45 minutes.

That I agree with. When Hillary just speaks in a normal voice and doesn't try to sound "inspiring" she's actually a tolerable speaker. I don't think Bernie can be helped but I like his accent lol.

[angrydude]

You have to wonder if Bernie Sanders even knows who Hillary Clinton is.:lol

[Spurminator]

Clinton backstage: "Wait, what's he saying I want? Is he going off script?"

I take it back -- he's more boring.

I've never seen Bill Clinton look so nervous.

Meh, I thought he was shedding a tear. Or just had himself a nice relieving dump. :lol

[DMX7]

Well we know the first three nights of the DNC are going to higher tv ratings than the first three nights of the RNC.

[DMX7]

Looked like he was biting his nails too.

[angrydude]

Well we know the first three nights of the DNC are going to higher tv ratings than the first three nights of the RNC.

That's because Republicans actually watch people they disagree with.

[Reck]

Shit, Bernie is going off script promising shit now. :lol

[hitmanyr2k]

Democrats don't do themselves any favors neglecting to mention terrorism. I know they want to be hopeful and not want to go down Trump's path of fire and brimstone but they need to address that issue more so Trump doesn't have a monopoly on it because another attack is coming somewhere down the road and a big attack is all is would take to give Trump the edge.

[angrydude]

Hillary doesn't support the TPP. Hillary is not a warmonger. Hillary didn't take donations from Islamic countries that murder rape victims and gays. Hillary did not take donations from big oil and big pharma or the big banks. She will reform all these things. Please Bernie voters.

People can change Doc. All we can do is hope she learned from her stupid mistakes in the past and comes out the better person for it. Besides that Bernie's voice is going to be bigger now and if Hillary fucks up he's not the kind of guy that will stay silent and let it go. He'll call her out.
