Above: a Bernie Sanders supporter who is part of a group of hardcore Sanders backers who’ve staged a walkout at the Democratic National Convention despite the fact that their candidate just rose to call for Hillary Clinton’s nomination.

In a note of particularly exquisite ironic petulance, this individual is refusing to answer questions about her sign from Slate’s reporter on the scene because of the tape over her mouth, which is supposed to symbolize the way that Sanders supporters have allegedly been silenced by the Democratic National Committee even though they’ve had a huge influence on the convention platform and every single speaker in Philadelphia has acknowledged their cause and 1,400 reporters are trying to talk to them at all times.
