“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.”

So good. So many Republicans want to paint a world filled with violent, scheming grifters who will knife you and rob you as soon as look at you. Those people exist, but the truth is that the vast majority of people in our communities just want to live their lives and more or less do right by each other.

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.

Noooo. "Most people" are looking at this as the most astonishing change of fortune that we could ever have dreamed of. An open primary would have been ugly and split people up into camps. Dems are astonishingly united at this moment. Biden timed things perfectly, Harris launched her campaign perfectly - there's always room for things to go wrong, and we are not guaranteed victory by any means. But this is a real lightning in a bottle moment in our electoral history. Most people recognize that.

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.

Are you really this stupid, or do you just think the rest of is are?

They're desperate. See also the rage about white people tacos

Just so goddam weird.

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!

The 2020 DNC roll call was a thing of beauty. I still think of it sometimes as showing just how diverse and awesome our country is, but this one was more fun. The energy is real.

A tough primary is exactly what she needed to sharpen her debate skills and get her policies in order. Right now Kamala has zero training and will be expected to defeat Trump during the first debate in Sept when she hasn’t defended her policies or record during a primary season.

Primaries are there for a reason

Basically nobody cares if there was an open primary. That's a DC Beltway hangup.

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

Don’t forget the Doritos! An especially grievous act.

Biden did not time things perfectly. In fact, many Americans decided to vote for Trump during the first debate after they realized the media was lying to them about the Presidents health being well and news contrary to that being cheap fakes. Well, apparently it wasn’t a cheap fake

It’s not a DC Beltway hang up. The DC beltway things the elites selecting the candidate in a so called democracy is ok. The DC beltway things Nancy Pelosi did a noble thing by staging a coup against the sitting and elected President

Yes! We should let the amazing leaders of our two amazing parties and their amazing mega donors select our POTUS nominees every four years because that all just sounds amazing!! No, it isn't amazing. This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You are either not too bright or you're part of the wealthy and powerful group of people that benefit when POTUS candidates are chosen by the wealthy and powerful people without the voice of the American people being heard.

No, that’s a Republican concern troll talking point.

By all appearances it seems everything was timed perfectly.

Go Kamala!

Yes, the Planned Parenthood mobile clinic offering free abortions at the DNC is certainly something to celebrate.

Michelle Obama: "Who's gonna tell [Trump] that the job he is seeking might be one of those Black jobs?" Excuse me? This racist rhetoric is a huge turn-off. It was apparent since 2008, though, that Michelle -- unlike Barack -- is racist.

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

No kidding. When Trump said "black jobs" what he really meant was: "Once we deport all those brown illegals, you black folks can get back to picking farm fields, cleaning houses and all those other menial jobs that you were restricted to for years." THAT's why his comment was so offensive. Kudos to all the AA who have rightfully trolled back on this. (My personal favorite being Simone Biles).
