More Than A Thousand Delegates Voted 'No' On Democratic Party Platform
2020-08-25
[DAILYWIRE] Democrats are more divided than they appear according to numbers released by the Democratic National Committee following their nominating convention last week.

Fox News reports that of the 5,000 delegates that voted on the party’s platform, widely recognized as the most progressive Democratic Party
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
 platform in years, more than a thousand delegates — around 25% of all attendees — voted against the decision to approve the party’s official policies.

The situation reveals a breakdown in the party that could cost the Democrats in the coming years and indicates a vast difference between the "moderate" Democratic party, which fought to nominate former Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Candidate for president in 2020. You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier...
 as its 2020 contender, and the growing progressive wing, which backed Sen. Bernie Sanders
...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being an Independent socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around...
 (I-VT).

"The DNC (If you're white you ain't right!)
...Democrat National Committee, where all those off-the-wall talking points originate...
 revealed over the weekend that 3,562 delegates voted to approve the platform, while a total of 1,069 voted no, and 87 abstained,"
1069 into 5000 is 21.4% not 25%. Why does nobody demand that reporters be able to do basic arithmetic??
Fox reported. "The number of convention delegates who voted no is roughly the same as the number of delegates pledged to progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont. The populist politician and ’Medicare-for-all’ champion was the last remaining rival to Democratic nominee Joe Biden in the primaries before suspending his White House bid and endorsing the former vice president in April."

When you are good at math you become a scientits/engineer. When you are good at speaking you become a lawyer or a politicain. When you are good at writing you become a writer. When you are good for nothing you become a journalist

#7  Democratic Party tradition of bribing interest groups with Other Peoples Moneyâ„¢ meets the immovable object of declining revenues....

#6  As for the "No" votes, clearly there's not enough in the platform about smashing the kulaks as a class.

But if Biden/Harris won the election it wouldn't be long before Harris was smashing the kulaks good and hard.

#5  Wasn’t radical enough, apparently.

#4  "Math R Us not Us (the Dems)." Maybe, they had trouble counting the votes for Hilldabeast in 2016 which resulted in a huge pandemic of DJT derangement syndrome. But that is just one of many of their problems.

Nobody told them their smart-phones have a calculator app?

How do you teach them 1+1=2 when it feels like 3 to them?

#1  Why does nobody demand that reporters be able to do basic arithmetic??

An understanding that they're simply not capable of it?

I also suspect high rates of innumeracy among their superiors and their readers.

Can't demand something of which they cannot even conceive.

As for the "No" votes, clearly there's not enough in the platform about smashing the kulaks as a class.
