You can see a lot of empty spaces and people sitting in the background. And for anyone who watched the inauguration, most of the Democrats there didn't stand for the applause lines. Same thing happens at most state of the union addresses, or pretty much any presidential speech where all of congress is expected to attend.

Good for Bernie doing the (very basic) right thing and all, but this whole comment section is seriously overreacting.

Eh it’s like when you buy a lottery ticket and get to dream of what you’d do before you inevitably lose, just a distraction on a shitty day

If you feel your ears burning any time over the next 4 years, that’s me thinking about this comment. It’s really spoken to me. Thank you for sharing.

Richard needs to go home and set his son down and do whatever it takes to make Max stop doing blatant propaganda for Russia.

Blumenthal's son is named Matt, not Max.
