Welcome back to the show! Despite initial concerns the DNC was a week of reconciliation where former
enemies made peace with one another
Barack Obama hugged it out with his 2008 rival while Howard Dean seen here,
apparently in the Star Trek holodeck, embraced his most lethal foe, his own
enthusiasm
This race is going to be won on the ground and it's going to be won in
Colorado and in Iowa and North Carolina and Michigan and Florida and Pennsylvania
And then we're going to the White House!
Oh screamin' Dean, you were just ahead of your time
most impressive of all was Bernie Sanders, who showed true character and
grace teaming up with his former opponent to fight the possible
extinction of life on the planet
thanks to Bernie's leadership the party rift was healed
I want to thank Bernie Sanders
I will vote for Hillary with gusto.
We all should feel the burn!
My forever friend, Bernie Sanders
There was a significant coming together
Ew, knock it off off Democrats, we don't want to hear about what happened on the
backstage on the pile of coats, ugh! But the progressive heavy petting session was
occasionally interrupted by a handful of Bernie or Bust diehards who, upset at
the undemocratic fact that the other candidate got over 3 million more votes
than theirs, responded by constructively screaming abuse at anyone traitorous
enough not to be screaming abuse.
And tonight, this night, we're going to nominate a woman (HECKLER) She stole it! that would be the end
I may cry again tonight.
I said it two years ago
Uhhh, guys? If you're going to protest your perceived disenfranchisement, maybe don't
do it by heckling the guy who wrote the book on protesting actual
disenfranchisement. John Lewis has spent more than 50 years fighting a civil rights battle that's
not yet over
Wanna see how bitter he is?
(singing) I'm so happy
(singing) I'm happy
(singing) this my song!
If John Lewis can overcome being beaten by cops for securing black southerners
the right to vote
you can overcome the fact that a lot of them voted for Hillary. You think
incremental progress is bullshit?
:ook at the entire Wyoming delegation proudly wearing Black Lives Matter
t-shirts
Wyoming! Cheney country is getting woke!
So, what do these Bernie or bust motherfuckers want?
How do they plan to get it? And when will it be safe to go back on Facebook?
I sent Allana Harkin to find out.
(ALLANA) Heading into the convention, the Democratic Party was
unified to beat Trump.
Bernie or bust!
(ALLANA) While the Bernie or Bust people were unified to beat the Democrats.
We're voting for Bernie, we're pushing Bernie.
Hell no we're not voting for Hillary.
Hell no this is not okay.
We do not want Hillary.
That's why we're here protesting. We do not want her. (ALLANA) Do you think Bernie still
still has a chance?
Absolutely.
I mean, I've only ran into all of two Hillary Clinton supporters today
everybody else I've seen walking around Philly's got Bernie shirts on
Now something just doesn't add up, you know. (ALLANA) I also think it's where you are right now.
(Screaming) Bernie! (Chanting Bernie beats Trump, Bernie beats Trump
(ALLANA) I'm so confused, cause isn't Bernie endorsing Hillary?
He has endorsed Hillary, he still has not conceded.
He said watch out for the roll call vote today. (ALLANA) Mmmhmm.
We're gonna see.
We have 1900 delegates here. We'll see what happens tonight.
(ALLANA) Ohh! (ALLANA VOICEOVER) A secret plan! So I went to watch the roll call vote to see Bernie pull off this
coup once and for all. (BERNIE) And I move that Hillary Clinton be selected as the
nominee of the Democratic Party for President of the United States.
(ALLANA) It was a tough loss. They'd worked hard, but now that we're finally ready to unite
the party with yet another protest
What's going on?
(MAN) We were just fucked. (ALLANA) What's happened? Who got fucked?
(ALLANA VOICEOVER) And like any domestic dispute,
what began with shouting, ended with the silent treatment
(ALLANA) Quiet? Why? Why? Why?
First time everybody's been quiet!
Ahh, it's like going to the spa.
But these sad mimes still couldn't stop Hillary from breaking out of the Phantom
Zone to rule us all
So now are you Bernie or Busters on board?
What could Hillary do to win your vote?
Nothing.
Crawl in a hole. Yeah. Drops to hell where she belongs.
(ALLANA) But by not voting for Hillary, you're kind of voting for Trump! Yay!
There's also Jill Stein.
(ALLANA VOICEOVER) In fact, a quarter Bernie supporters are effectively siding with Trump and if
If they didn't want Trump to win they should have let Bernie have the
nomination. (ALLANA VOICEOVER) But that's not how voting works.
And besides, Bernie won
the platform!
Do you feel that this movement has has really pushed Hillary to the left?
Hillary Clinton has literally stolen almost word for word
Bernie's platform. (ALLANA) Isn't that a good thing?
I mean, absolutely not. I mean, that's just
a further testament of how she is willing to do and say anything to get
where she wants to be in office
(ALLANA) Even if she's saying and doing the right things?
I mean, it doesn't, you know, it
doesn't matter if you're saying and doing the right things
(ALLANA VOICEOVER) Just say it, you think she's a bitch.
I would sooner vote for Donald Trump than I would
Hillary Clinton.
I honestly think Hillary is worse than Trump.
I think she's much more dangerous than Trump.
He might turn out to be the lesser of two evils! Trump, imagine that!
(ALLANA) No, he's a hundred percent the greater of two evils.
if it's gonna be Trump for four years, brace yourself
It's gonna be a ride.
And what about all the Muslims and Latinos who are going to
be shipped out of the country
I believe that's what are our senators and congressmen have to put a stop to
Do you feel extra comforted because you're white and you don't have to deal with
that problem?
To tell you the truth I'm in the bubble, yes
(ALLANA VOICEOVER) So you're fine with the guy who's getting one hundred percent of the white
supremacist vote.
They're bigots, they're racists, all that, I get that. But they realized the need for the complete
burning down of the corrupt political system.
(ALLANA) You wanna to be on the same page as the Republicans?
At least we're on the same page with somebody.
(ALLANA VOICEOVER) Was this the unity they had hoped for?
(chanting) Lock her up, lock her up, lock her up
(ALLANA VOICEOVER) Where was I? What party is this?
Not a Democrat, I am a Bernie Bro!
(ALLANA VOICEOVER) You know bro, it might be just about time to drop the word "Bernie"
We'll be right back
