Voat has been going downhill fast. Used to be a place of free thought and stimulating conversation. Now it's just a shitshow of Jew hating dog whistlers, racists, and homophobes who, instead of going on with their lives, OBSESS about Jews, minorities and gays.
Pence mostly shrugged it off, but this Hamilton thing really gets under the voatard jimmies - a highly successful Broadway show filled with gays and minorities in a city with a high Jewish population. It's the golden voat trifecta of rage.

I don't care if they're minorities and fags working in a Broadway show that I'll never see in Hymietown as Jesse Jackson would call it.
I do care that the actors acted childishly toward a vice president-elect. They need to get over it. If a bunch of whiny conservatives did it to Kaine, I would be bothered too. It's a good thing Pence acted like an adult toward the children. As for Trump, he's gonna be our troller-in-chief, and I can't wait for this fun four year ride to begin Jan. 20! He'll troll the Middle East, China, North Korea...so much fun!

I vote in every election. When there's no one I like, I just write-in my name for the lulz.

Hamilton Broadway play financed and narrated by obama administration, as propaganda piece, if you watched the documentary, the 'writer' performed singing in front of obamas with michelle gushing, next scene 'writer' is sitting on tropical beach with laptop after having only written one song in two years, next scene 'writer' is moving into Manhattan penthouse with Hudson River views, then soft opening to celebrities and media, then opening on Broadway?!$$$$$.

Didn't realize the lines they used are just generic SJW brownie point scoring rhetoric that would work against any individuals

Never accept moralizing from actors. They are people who pretend to be other people which, at best, makes them good liars.

Along with half the American voting population. I'd rather have seen Hamilton once on Broadway than vote for one of two scumbag politicians. And that sentence doesn't even make sense!

"Since the clash with the Hamilton cast, Pence told Fox News he wasn't offended by the message and said the booing 'is what freedom sounds like'.", "There are no records available for this year, so it's unclear if the cast members voted in 2016, but years prior show many were absent on Election Day.", "Audience members booed Pence as he entered the theater and after the cast's curtain call, the statement was read."
'Some members of the cast of Hamilton, who delivered a message to Vice President-elect Mike Pence about their fears of the new administration, have abstained from voting for years, records show. ', "Javier Munoz, playing the titular role of Hamilton, registered to vote in 2006 and voted in the mid-term elections, but hasn't been on record as voting since."
