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.

The DNC production is amazing. It makes me want to go to a convention and I hate conventions!

You seem unaware that Trump was the one talking about “Black jobs” in the first place.

Both Obama speeches were excellent, packed with such powerful and effective lines like diamonds strung on a necklace. I plan to replay them for my kids.

Please do so, especially where Michelle says that the POTUS role is reserved for black people. What a great way to promote racial division in this country.

What? That's not what she said. In case you misunderstood, she was pointing out the idiocy of Donald Trump thinking that certain job are "black jobs."

The way that Republican voters stay Republican is by never listening to what their candidates say.

She said nothing of the sort, and you know it. It's Trump that refers to "Black jobs" and "Hispanic jobs"

Way to twist someone’s words! She never said that. She said the presidency is ALSO a “black job” not that it is exclusively for black people.

Yes, and he did thank her in the speech, which she watched from the family box. Clearly they are a tight blended family, which is lovely to see.

It's delicious to see them trying so hard to make something stick and just coming up with absolutely nothing again and again.

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.

+1 That is exactly right. I didn't even realize what a dark cloud had been hanging over us - over ME - for the last ten years until I started feeling it lift, over this last month.

When Biden was elected, it was relief. But the threat of Trump was still hanging over us. For the first time in almost ten years, this last month it's felt like we are finally freeing ourselves of MAGA.

I am far from cocky. But I do feel hopeful. I feel optimistic, for the first time in a very long time.

100%.

Me too but I'm also scared we are in a bubble and there are large parts of the country and population that are either too dumb, racist, won't cross party lines, don't care, actually like Trump and he'll win again.

It feels like the fever is breaking.

That's why we can't get complacent. But I mean - last night they filled TWO stadiums. In the midwest. We are guaranteed nothing but I'd rather be us than them, right now.

Yes!

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.

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!

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.

You have to be joking? Trump is courting money from big donors like Elon. He has to. He's got too many big legal bills.

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-liberal-san-francisco-high-dollar-tech-fundraiser-2024-06-06/

Venture capitalists David Sacks and Chamath Palihapitiya, as well as Sacks' wife Jacqueline, held the reception and dinner with Trump at the Sacks' swanky mansion in the Pacific Heights neighborhood, ...The gathering - where top tickets were $500,000 per couple - was sold out, a source with knowledge of the fundraiser told Reuters. It raised some $12 million, according to Republican National Committeewoman Harmeet Dhillon and another source.

Then there are those big corporations donation millions to Trump. They have basically bought Trump. You can assure that he will be looking after them more so than the guy who makes $25K year.

Remember when Miriam Adelson bought a presidential medal of freedom? It was much better than a congressional medal of honor

I think most people are thankful Biden finally stepped away from the 2024 race and wish he had done it sooner so that we could have an open primary. Harris has a much better chance of beating Trump than Biden would have and relative to Trump and Biden, she can be trusted to be competent through 2029. Trump and Biden are already on the verge of incompetence. I can't imagine any American with an IQ over 90 voting for Trump or Biden in 2024. The last eight years have taught us that folks over the age of 75 can't be trusted to handle the demanding mental and physical tasks of the POTUS job.
