The Democratic National Convention As Told By 'The Office'

The Democratic National Convention As Told By 'The Office'

Even though the Democratic National Convention kicked off Monday night with the theme United Together, the Democratic party is anything but united. It would be a step in the right direction if the unifying rhetoric could be backed with action, which has not been the case the in the last eight years despite what any speaker at the DNC said. While watching the Democratic National Convention I couldn't help but think about different witty "Office" moments that too accurately described how I felt.

1. The Democratic National Convention began with the resignation of their national committee chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, after 19,000 of the committee’s e-mails were published by WikiLeaks.

2. You are probably wondering how Debbie Wasserman Shultz and Hillary Clinton have gotten away with their email scandals but remember that they are above the law.

3. I can only imagine how upset the "Feel The Bern Revolution" must be after Bernie Sanders sells out and tells his base to vote for Hillary.


4. When Bernie Sanders delegates and supporters leave the Convention floor early.

5. When Tim Kaine officially accepts the nomination for Vice President with the most boring speech.

6. And then you hear him attack Donald J. Trump and the Republican Platform.


7. It wasn't long before Bill Clinton attempted to steal the show with the story of how he met Hillary.


8. When just about every DNC speech mentions the angry rhetoric at the RNC.

9. When the Governor of Minnesota, Mark Dayton, says that Trump is a bad man because he made small businesses pay their bills when they couldn't afford it.

10. When you see groups like Turning Point USA protesting with signs that say Big Government Sucks!

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
