It's less than minimum wage if the speeches last at least an hour per night.

I'll be the voice of sanity who says that this is obviously fake.
Just like the craigslist ad the DNC wanted to place for a Trump secretary who would need to stay fit.

I totally think the dems are hiring actors to fill seats, but I really doubt they would be this obvious.

I agree, its meant to be funny for the anti-DNC crowd and will make good e-mail chain material.
[–] BentAxel [S] 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Guess not. It was exposed that actors were hired to sit in the empty seats.
[–] Anti-Stupid ago
No. It is not fake. Go look up other source before you talk out of your ass.

Pretty shitty job, being around all those liberal progressive fucktards for several nights, seems like it ought to pay better. Stupid fucks won't even pay the wage they are rallying for. Just being around the BLM crowd sets you up to be murdered, raped or robbed. Being around that many criminals ought to have hazardous duty pay.

Here you guys go. Confirmed DNC delegate saying that a) most Bernie supporters are outside protesting, B) He doesn't recognize any of the people sitting near him from the day before, and C) they are not letting him and others back onto the convention floor after they leave for any reason (even for bathroom or to get food).
Here is a video of how empty the DNC was when the Bernie or Bust people started their protest 2 days ago.
Like everything sorrounding Hillary, these is no 'smoking gun', but it's pretty clear that the DNC IS NOT united. Those on the floor yestersday, craigslist actors or not, where not Bernie people.

They've already essentially been doing this since 1965. when they got the National Origins formula abolished. Ethnic Europeans as a voting bloc don't tend to vote for dindu gibsmedat policies, so they simply imported a bloc that does.

There is a flash flood warning in filthidalphia tonight, as well as NEETs who plan to do their stupid fart in tonight.
Nobody is going to show up for a meager 50 dollars.

Trump may have paid people to come to his announcement: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/donald-trump-reportedly-paid-actors-232340811.html

I wonder if he had to lock them inside like Hillary did tonight.
