Hillary Clinton Accepts Democratic Nom to 1/2 Empty Arena

After this week's DNC revealed party corruption, a massive walkout left Hillary to accept the nomination before a half-empty stadium.

I'm afraid this is foreshadowing of the election. Trump has won.
Sanders voters are mostly not Democrats....or weren't until they had to be to vote for him. That means they won't be voting for the democrat that underhandedly cheated them out of their chosen nominee, she doesn't represent their morals or goals in the least, why would they?
Democrats can whine about it all they want, it won't change the fact that they have blown this election as if it was their plan all along. They absolutely deserve to lose too, but so do the Republicans.

I'm not totally on board for Hillary but I don't think this actually happened. We never see a shot of Hillary on the stage. Just some guy claiming this is happening.

Edit: The audio is clearly snippets of something Hillary said at some point. I'm not sure if it's actually coming from the stage/audio booth or if it's just something this guy concocted, but it's clearly not Hillary speaking on stage live.

I agree, this video quality was terrible....but there is this video claiming to show them walking out of the convention.


There's other videos of the walkout too, and they held a 'sit in' at the media tent. I'm pretty sure it did happen.

Hillary cheated to get this nomination by colluding with the DNC to sideline Bernie. Shameful. Never Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!

'That guy over there sucks worse than I do' is in no way a reason to vote for someone, or even an endorsement, especially when you have other choices.

I've a number of thoughts here...
1. There's never a perfect candidate so you're always picking the least sucky at some level.
2. I voted for Bernie in the primaries and he's been able to pull Hillary far to the left in her words. Assuming she gets elected, we'll see what her actions bring.
3. I live in a state that is safely Democrat, but with trump I don't want to take any chances and he should be overwhelmingly defeated so people like him knows those ideas are rejected and also the rest of the world knows we reject those ideas.
4. If the other candidate sucks more (IMHO) and gets elected that's tolerable, but I'm pretty fearful of what would happen if trump is elected. Or in other words, he's a special case that isn't just the other person is suckier.
5. I agree with your thought in general, but picking alternative party candidates is the equivalent of voting for the person that's least like what you prefer when you have a two dominant party system. If the U.S. had say 6 or 7 parties, I think we'd be better off.

Um...how does any of that address my comment?
I'm specifically addressing the earlier comment, which emulated how both major party candidates are 'selling themselves', which is nearly 100% by just repeating 'vote for me, the other guy sucks more'. That is not a reason to vote for someone who sucks.

There ARE 6-7 parties in the US.
I'm SOOOO sick of hearing this 'but we only have 2 choices' bullshit coming from nearly everyone....it is absolute bullshit, we have many choices besides the two major party candidates, and the incorrect belief that we don't is why we are so close to electing Trump.
