Maybe people felt he should have stuck to calling out all ethnic and racial hatred and not qualifying it.

+1. black people have suffered racism forever. Why call out antisemitism? Read the room. There are tons of black people in that room.

Tons of Jews (and people of other backgrounds) as well. Antisemitism has been around forever as well.

And it's all bad. I don't know why some posters feel that the persecution of their group should be paramount

Jews mention antisemitism and they’re accused of making it “paramount.” Can’t make this stuff up. Why do we bother voting Dem?

Because Trump will kill democracy. But it doesn’t make me feel good given the tacit acceptance of antisemitism

Just stop; you only make yourself sound stupid. Even the Post abandoned the false narrative of “trump is a threat to democracy.”

Exactly.

I think after Doug, Michelle’s speech sounds too formal and stiff.

Her speech is blowing his out of the water!

I like conversational speakers.

There are tons of Jews in the room too.

This topic is contentious. This convention is about unity. Not sure this is the right place to give a speech about it. I hate that jews think one is antisemetic if one doesnt support what Israel is doing. It's like one cannot have a brain and their own opinions and must agree with Israel or else one must be antisemetic.

unless you are Jewish you are unaware of everyday Jews being threatened or feeling threatened by Israel hate. Your take is simplistic. I mean this with goodwill, please do some reading or talking to people.
We need to hear others’ stories—everyone’s.

I'm sure some Palestinian would lend a sympathetic ear.

Do you want to hear their stories, too?

The funny thing is I used to be a staunch R pro Israel. I always supported the right for Israel to exist. I still do. But I also support the right for Palestinians to not be slaughtered and have their own homeland without being second class citizens.

Acknowledging antisemitism doesn’t mean you can’t acknowledge Palestinian suffering. It’s a false dichotomy and you know it

LOL she is such a great speaker.

One thing I’ve noticed watching these conventions is that good speech writers and orators are few and far between. Even Michelle Obama is a much worse speaker than I would expect. Hopefully her hubby is still good. He seems to have slowed down some though.

And no one can tell me that she didn't know exactly what she was doing with that dress.

What about the dress?

It's armor. And I mean that in a good way. She's ready for battle.

Exactly.

Except when he says things like how he’ll be a dictator only for the first day or how folks will never have to vote again….

More of this. Less of Bernie.

+1 Bernie’s moment has passed.

I'm actually quite fond of Bernie and his speech. What did he say wrong?

some progressive stuff.

Dems need to appeal to moderates. Why can't they understand that?

They just can’t. They’ve gone so far radical left, it’s already too late for them to recover.

Every Democratic ticket since the invention of Fox News has been the leftiest leftist who ever lefted.

but Bernie is a self proclaimed progressive

PP’s remarks weren’t confined to Bernie.

The Presidency is a “black job” referencing Trumps idiotic debate response

We must be listening to different speeches.

Doug did what he was supposed to do with the cutesy spouse endorsement
But it forgettable.

But Michelle is killing it. Hitting all the points

Trump said Mexicans are stealing black jobs. There was a whole social media thing about which jobs were black jobs. Michelle was riffing on that.
