Perhaps for the dogma believers, but it's mostly nonsense when you consider how well so many immigrants do even when they come with zero wealth and frequently not even speaking English or having proper papers.

They don’t really do well but their kids do. Asians outearn whites. Not talked about mostly because it doesn’t fit the white=rich and white=oppressor mentality on the left

America is an opportunity economy. If you can’t make it, don’t blame your race.

Lots of people worked hard including the Obamas who were still paying off law school/student loans in their 40’s. Why should the new generation get tuition free college?

I am sure the Obamas parents/grandparent also worked hard to save up money for their kids to go to college.

I am sure they all had summer jobs probably as law clerks or something.

They didn’t expect government owed them something, but yet they teach that to progressives

Still no policy section.

Did they plan this roll call long before last month?

I watched bits of this convention. It’s all about the feels. Which is great. I realized that for me, since 2026, politics has been about dread. This feels like it’s going back to being fun. People are having fun. There is a sense of optimism. Who knows what the final result will be in November but I am glad to see that at least one party is not currently caught up in the doom and gloom. We need something positive.

Well we do well because we do not take anything to chances because of the fear Michelle spoke about. We work 10 times harder than any other person in the same role. That is a lot of burden to carry our whole life.

That's not a "burden" but an opportunity the US gives us -- a much better opportunity that in most other countries, which is why we come here.

In the Michelle quote she was not comparing opportunities we had in another country to America. We are talking about inequality that still exists in America. I want to have the same opportunity, same second/third/fourth as an American as every other one. I want to have the same risk profile as white man and I would not ever have that. My racial identity does not allow me to learn from making mistakes and I spend a lot of my energy to be as close to perfection as possible in all aspect of my life. This is a burden not just on me, but my my children and their children!

Michelle is tiresome. How did she not get the same opportunity? She was practically the preferred nominee of everybody pre-Kamala without political experience mind you.

Last nights speech proved if she did enter politics, her approval/poll numbers would decline in a tailspin

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.

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.

I am the PP and Yes, I do want to hear their stories too. You know nothing about me.

But how many jews want to? What are you and they doing to get Israel to stop? All I hear is how they want more military support which we keep giving, prolonging the suffering.

You think American Jews vote in Israeli elections?

LOL no. Are you the person on the other politics board that keeps saying this? Hogan might do better than another Republican would, but he's still going to lose.

I’m not… Hogan won statewide for governor. It could certainly happen for the senate too

And now we know who he really is. He’s a wolf in sheep's clothing and will vote the Repub party line for everything.

That’s a you problem. Nobody told you to be a perfectionist to be accepted and it’s sad if you think striving for excellence in everything you do is a bad trait or that only white people can make mistakes. I don’t even get what that means. If you want to “make a mistake”, the party for you is the Dems. You can even abort your mistake on a bus for free if you qualify!

I am sure Barack and Michelle don’t think like that about mistakes and excellence. All the Democrat success story politicians used Republican ideals. I am also confused when the Dems say generational wealth= Republicans. Republican voters are largely poor. Trump voters are mostly poor not the moneyed elite. Trump is rallying at backwater towns in flyover USA, not at $25,000/plate Hampton and Beverly Hills dinner parties with donors .

The oligarchs/moneyed party and generational wealth party is the Democrat party. They get more donors and donations than Trump-largely from billionaires.

Damn we have a good party.

The Clintons need to fade out.

Honest question, did the Republican convention have any former presidents, vice presidents or former nominees speak?

I mean...no. Trump's version of the GOP (MAGA) is a joke.

But mostly boring AF.

This is so refreshing and normal compared to the 🤡 show at the RNC.

[Anonymous]

Such and inspirational evening. Michelle & Barack Obama are national treasures!

I watched with my two sons who thought both Obama speeches were excellent, but they LOVED Michelle's speech in particular.

I look forward to Walz tonight. But I think I'll keep rewatching Michelle's speech to keep me focused and fired up for the rest of this campaign season.

In fact, Act Blue had so much money they needed to launder billionaire donations and list them as average Americans’ small donations. They are still committing that fraud of delisting billionaire contributions and listing them as small donations from “everyday Americans”.

The Dems are an oligarchy for the rich. They used to be a party for the American working class but now they’re the party of globalists, bankers, and the 1%. Ask yourself why Wall Street would donate heavily to people like Barack Obama and Kamala Harris if they’re truly as commie or socialist or pro union and working class as they say.

They aren’t working for you. The problems they’re talking about with inflation and prices are problems the Dem administration created. On top of all that, they are war happy now too.

There’s no light between Dems and Repubs at this juncture except one believes in abortion and the other doesn’t

Now that Michelle Obama has finished lecturing America about evil, rich white people at the DNC. It's back to her $20 million dollar mansion in the lily-white Martha's Vineyard

President Barack Obama:

“We chase the approval of strangers on our phones; we build all manner of walls and fences around ourselves and then wonder why we feel so alone. We don’t trust each other as much because we don’t take the time to know each other.”

“We still coach Little League and look out for our elderly neighbors, because the vast majority of us don’t want to live in a country that’s bitter and divided. We want something better. We want to be better.”
