about the disruptors

[DonCoquixote]

OK, let me be clear about something, I do think that many of the people trying to make mayhem with the booing are disgusting. They certainly did not care about Sanders, as Sanders did try to call for calm and decency. They are the same drama school kids that helped Bush win in 2000, and if they had their way, they would go off to Whole Foods/Starbucks/insert pretentious yuppie place here and celebrate over some expensive dish most people cannot afford.

However, when I hear talks of throw them out or never let them in the party again, I also need to step back. We can afford to show ourselves to the American people, with all the odd ends and dangling parts, because we, unlike the GOP, have actual substance. Yeah we can trot out Big Dawg and Sarah Silverman and others to deliver well deserved zingers, zingers that, unlike the tired attempts at humor by Trump and his Fox news Acolytes, can be delivered with honest confidence, not whining about how somehow the world moved and why the world you grew up in aint the world that is, and how Trump will make it so again.

The worst thing we can do is make these fools martyrs. We can show that for all their antics, we will wash over them like a wave that breaks the big rocks into sand. If we have to respond to them, do a Sarah Silverman and mock therm, because they have, a,mong many many other flaws, a bad sense of humor. Victory is determined by whop has reason to smile at the end, and we do.

1. Respect is mandatory

If you can't respect those speaking, what makes them think disrupting the speaker is going to get their way?

Respect the speaker, the speaker and everyone else might have respect for you when you want to say something.

3. That's right. Make them beg those in power for a shred of respect.

4. If you are an ass to me, then don't expect me to listen

6. They dont have to be at the Democratic Convention

At what level, beginning at pre-school through adulthood,is it considered acceptable to disrupt someone while they are on stage speaking?
At what level is disrupting a speaker considered a social norm outside of the WWE

2. So we have to let them speak, but they can shout over the speakers everyone else actually wants to

hear?

5. Thanks to the disruptors, there will likely be a complete revamp of the rules for delegate selection

There is no way the DNC should or would permit this to occur again. They will likely enact rules to ensure that delegates are long time party members with a proven track record of supporting Democratic nominees (along with rules that allow replacement with alternates at any time, at the discretion of the candidates).

After all, these are people who don't actually want progressive change. They instead want an excuse to complain about the lack of progressive change (which of course requires that progressive change not occur). They are free to complain outside, where no one will be covering them.
