Millenials and minorities face-off over presidential politics at PolitiCon '16

PolitiCon's debut  convention was held in L.A. before the 2015 election last October, but for the 2016 election, was moved up to June 25th in Pasadena. 

Panelists (l-r) Guy Benson, Mary Katharine Ham, Jordan Carlos, Tomi Lahren, Versha Sharma, and Alice Ollstein

Versha Sharma of "Now This!" organized and moderated the panel "Millenials Calling "Bullsh*t!" described as:

People are quick to judge millennials, but their voices in journalism and beyond are demanding a need for diverse perspectives and authenticity. A discussion of how this new generation is shaping the news, and how everything you know about them is wrong.

Panelists: Jordan Carlos, Tomi Lahren, Alice Ollstein, Guy Benson, and Mary Katharine Ham. 

Latina, conservative, Anna Marsh Veneto, spoke outside of Black conservative, Larry Elder's panel at PolitiCon in October '15 to reveal how her family's experience in Argentina encourages Latin-Americans to back Donald Trump and Republican candidates, despite media and leftist attempts to smear the GOP as racist.



Ms. Veneto encourages Republicanism against Hillary Clinton's liberal policies towards illegal immigration- which lowers wages for minorites via increased competition. 

Mary Katharine Ham, a panelist on PoltiCon's "Millenials Call Bullsh*t" panel, discusses Trump's pro's and con's - and the problem of media bias to advocate for Democrats- using the conflating of Muslim-Americans and Trump's counter-Islamist immigration policy to smear the GOP and bolster the Democrat administration they helped put into (and hope to keep in) power.



Host of the pre-cancelled, The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore answers questions from James Carville and audience members.

Does new convention, PolitiCon foster understanding or incite further partisanship between attendees?

With a schedule of speakers from across the political spectrum, the premiere PolitiCon sounded intended to bring Democrats and Republicans together in a spirit of mutual civic interest and patriotism. But with what felt like a 70/30 liberal attendee tilt, a tribalist dynamic took over and the respect which Republicans expected was replaced with Obama-era, liberal contempt.

Here, posing with Republican performance-artist, Brayton, contempt-inciting radio host, Stephanie Miller adds to her gallery of Republican-mocking photos. 


Ms. Miller tells DemoCast facetiously, "I have a rash from being so close to so many right-wingers. I actually touched Ann Coulter- gawd!"

Rep. Michelle Bachman educates antagonistic challenger about Iran's apocalypticism as Larry Elder looks on

Jessica an actress from Hollywood reacts about PolitiCon's attendee breakdown and mistreatment of conservative panelists and attendees from liberal attendees.



The former congresswoman from Minnesota, Michele Bachmann had to school a sophomoric antagonist attempting to rationalize enabling nukes to apocalyptic messianic Iran. He tells her Iran would be deterred from using them- because of the "mutually-assured-destruction" premise from the rational but imperialist Communist Soviets. She explains otherwise.

Michele Bachmann schools snarky, PolitiCon antagonist about Islamic apocalyptism

At the PolitiCon conference in L.A., former congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN) responds to an snarky questioner. The university-age man rationalizes Washington enabling nuclear-weapons to apocalyptic Iran under his mistaken assumption that the theory of "mutually-assured-destruction" (which deterred Soviet Communists) would apply to apocalyptic Islamists.



Rep. Bachmann explains that the U.S. has had to adapt to learn the mindset of supremacist Islam since the days of the Barbary Pirates' enslaving Christian American sailors. Liberals and Democrat culture has deemed critical analysis of Islamism taboo, imperiling defense strategies against apocalyptic Islamists.
