There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.
If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations
and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines
before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

@Jack: Meh. It's a fairly typical political speech in my eyes. Though perhaps it's a generational thing. Sanders appeal to millennials seems to at least in part be due in my eyes to the weird mixture of cynicism and idealism that's part of the generational character. Pessimists in intellect, optimists in spirit if you will.

I suspect so, I do wonder if the reason there was so much cheering at the start was to try and drown out Bernie endorsing Clinton.
Oh and Bernie just commited Clinton to appointing Supreme Court justices who will overturn Citizens United and protect people, including a women's right to choose.
