    Did you watch his speech? He wasn’t there cause he sold out. He was there to give a message. Your kneejerk reaction shows you didn’t even watch his speech.

      No shit right?

      Most lemmings don’t seem to be able to get past a sophmore level of analysis on politics.

      To Lemmy users who just don’t get it: The headline was “Headline speaker at night one of RNC refuses to endorse Trump”

      Sean O’Brien used the RNC as a platform to deliver the most pro-labor, pro-progressive, anti-capitalist speech of ALL TIME. As in, hands down, the most progressive speech, at ANY major party political convention EVER.

      He took the platform, and didnt endorse the candidate. Do you have any idea how big of a fucking deal that is?

      If you are mad that Sean O’Brien took the opportunity to use a platform he was offered to speak truth to power, this is you:

        Full disclosure I haven’t watched the speech, but I can believe it was in good faith, no doubt pro-labor/anti-capitalist. (btw, it’s crazy how bad the Democratic party has alienated the working class)

        What I can’t believe is these disturbing-ass memes you’re posting lmao…I hate them very much and wish I could unsee. Good job!

            I’m literally agreeing with you. Not sure what you’re fixing about my phrasing – I didn’t watch the speech, so yes, I am ignorant, but am willing to guess that your comment was totally correct.

            I’m also saying your meme-game disturbs my meme-less brain.

            But I guess according to you, I have no idea what I’m talking about so in that case…you’re wrong? Idk what youre trying to say dude all I know is that just because O’Brien spoke at the RNC doesn’t somehow automatically make him a Trump supporter
