2024 Democratic National Convention Thread

[RobDownSouth]

At least she's on the first night.

Her statements haven't been helpful since then. I think they need to move past the boomers yesterday

Get the Boomer tributes out of the way on night one.

Interestingly, Trump is fretting over the DNC ratings. Ratings are life to him. He has already set expectations that his RNC ratings will surpass Kamala's DNC ratings this week.

Agreed - right spot for her.

Gotta have the candidate who won the popular vote in 2016 speak. Disastrous omission otherwise.

The speech was ok .....typical Hilary

Project 2025 = "Jim Crow 2.0".

Nice.

 

[RoryN]

Biden is doing great. Not the guy during the debate.

Think they will let Joe ramble on for 90 minutes?

48 minutes of cogent and coherent delivery w/o a teleprompter. Blows another blurt about 'dementia Joe' out of the water. The speech ran circles around Trump's usual rants.

The delegates welcomed the President with an overwhelming eight minutes of standing ovations and chants of 'We love you, Joe.' This was the longest ovation for any president in the last two terms. The record crowd, which filled even the nose-bleed seats, stayed past midnight. Joe was the last speaker, proving the MAGA pundits wrong about his ability to speak to an audience past eight o'clock.

For slow MAGAs:

1. Cogent: Something described as cogent fuses thoughts and ideas into a meaningful whole that others can readily grasp and accept. Easy to understand and follow.
2. Coherent: Thoughts expressed in a clear and calm way so that other people can understand what they are saying. [Opposite of Trump's presentations.]

 

[Lazaran]

The display of love, decency, patriotism, and humanity on that stage and in that arena was next level.

Incredible.

We love you Joe!!!

We love you Hillary!!

A special shout out to James Clyburn for saving Joe Biden’s candidacy in 2020.

AOC and Shawn Fein brought the fire.

Steve Kerr was great.

Jasmine Crockett

Raphael Warnock preached.

And last, but certainly not least: The women speakers who were impacted by Trump’s overturning of Roe were impossibly brave and compelling.

A great first night.

They finally got the meds dialed in.

They finally got the meds dialed in.

Perhaps. If so, they should let others know about them. Some citizens here need that prescription regimen as well.

Although Trump's meds still have not kicked in, it must be the hole in his ear thing. I'm guessing a couple of years in prison might help with Trump's attitude adjustment issues. I hear Mike 'The Pillow Guy' has a new pillow in the works—one with a hole in the middle.

How about Harris showing up in a tan suit?!?! <3

Democrats are such a peaceful lot?

I don’t recall businesses boarding up for the RNC.

A few people went over the fence and were immediately pushed back.

 

[ll74]

Lol, the absolute need for the right to make the protests a focus is hilarious. Histrionics at its best.

Also, can everyone please just stop trying to compare audience sizes? It's just dumb and has no impact on anything. No vote is gained or lost by how many people are in your audience neither at the conventions nor any rally. ZERO

Harris picking up where Biden left off when it comes to plagiarism.

https://www.newsweek.com/trump-economic-policies-kamala-harris-1939606

Trump first pledged to do away with federal income taxes on tipped income in June this year, telling a rally in Nevada that it would be one of the first things he would do if he gets back into office for a second term.

Earlier in August, Harris announced that if her election bid is successful she would also let workers keep all of their tipped income, earning her the nickname "Copy Cat Kamala" from the Trump campaign.

Harris is set to outline much of her governing policies on Friday, with key issues like the southern border, tariffs, and corporation taxes all likely to be on the agenda. But given her decision to meet Trump on one economic policy area, could she also match him on others?

Speculation about somebody doing something.

Also, having similar policies continues to NOT be plagiarism. If it were, 45 plagiarized Reagan. The right is continuing to use the word incorrectly to make it something it is not.

The protests were peaceful. The protests were all mapped out, and all went according to plan with the exception of some folks going through a fence. The city did a great job!

Nice try. Where was this violence they speak of?

Do you know what plagiarism means?

It’s early yet. Protesters already broke through barriers. They’re already threatening to bring the war here.

She promoted going after tips and now that Trump received very positive feedback Harris changes her spots. Harris is an empty suit.

Yes, here you are admitting to making up shit and engaging in histrionics.

Thanks for confirming. It's refreshing to see.

One of her policies involves changing taxes on tips as does Trump's. Neither are original ideas nor are they the same policy.

Your opinion of Harris is not a mystery.
