2024 Democratic National Convention

[Anonymous]

Penn-Wharton and Yale Law School vs.

Imagine thinking any of these rich elitists on either side gives a damn about regular Americans. They despise regular Americans. They pay big bucks so they and their kids never come in contact with regular Americans. Blue team, red team…it’s the same team. And we’re suckers for buying into this oligarch war-mongering illusion of choice theater.

Vance botched the supply. He couldn't defend himself other than saying his remark was sarcastic and Buttigieg should be more offended by the job he has done as Transportation Secretary. Like what? Why can't Vance just be a human? Why does he have to keep that smug expression on while he refuses to apologize. Just say "I'm sorry. That comment was tongue in cheek and I hate that I offended so many people."

But he opens his mouth, puts on a smarmy expression and just makes everything worse.

He is a dolt. There is no there there. A ghostwritten book and being backdoored into Yale doesn’t make you smart. He’s a midwit political prostitute.

He seems to have no charisma and little if any emotional intelligence. I find Vance even less relatable then Trump — even though we probably have only 2 or 3 degrees of separation. He carried himself as though he thinks he’s the smartest person in the room — when it’s apparent to most that he’s not. He’s arrogant, mean spirited and offensive. I know several people who are considering getting cats thanks to his comments, so there’s that.

Most memoirs are ghost written. About 80K to the writer. Half up front. Also if you don’t “kill the dog” no one buys the book. Many of the deets are inflated and dramatized. D’uh.

I don't think his was ghostwritten. He was a nobody when he wrote that book - he only became a somebody because of the book. People who have existing platforms get ghost writers - but other people write their book to build their platform. I think he's the latter. I'm sure if he writes another book he'll have help - that first one, though? I'd be surprised.

I thought he was a nobody who made good when I read it too. But now I wonder because of his relationship with Amy Chua. I'm pretty sure she got him his agent or publisher. I can definitely see that there could have been heavy editing if not someone ghostwriting it. If for nothing else than to make the book marketable and to go along with a personna created for a publicist to sell him in the press and to readers and reviewers. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a ghostwriter.

I'll never forget Chua's full support and endorsement for Brett Kavanaugh as Supreme Court justice even after Kavanaugh was credibly accused of sexual assault by Christina Blasey Ford (and again later by Debra Rodriguez). It wasn't until years later when her husband Rubenfeld was accused of sexual harrassment that I saw she had a pattern of propping up and accusing problematic men. She sucks.

* propping up and defending problematic men.

(sorry typo I meant defending not accusing)

Kavanaugh was not “credibly accused” of sexual assault. His accusers had no definitive evidence except their testimony. Next.

Tax the Rich!

Let’s start with a 25% tax on unrealized capital gains. Dumbest idea ever. But then again we’re taking about Comrade Harris and the Democratic Party so not surprised.

[Anonymous]

This was a great convention from the spirited roll call to the stand-out speeches by Michelle Obama, Barack Obama, Walz, Buttigieg, Hillary Clinton, Raphael Warnock etc.

The speeches by former Republicans or ex-Trumpers were powerful too.

I am so proud to be American and so excited to vote Harris-Walz!

I knew it was correct. Voting Democrat has always been good for my pocket book as well as my conscience.

I’m not wealthy but the Trump tax cuts were great for my pocketbook despite the $10k SALT cap. Those cuts lowered tax brackets for most Americans.

And national debt

Walz isn’t rich. There were people on this website slamming him for that, saying they don’t trust him to run the country if he wasn’t able to make himself wealthy at his age.

Sexual assault survivors don't usually have witnesses present and what evidence would you expect? The only other witness was a co-perpetrator himself who refused to give any live testimony or be questioned. Her story was very credible and even republicans were deflated after her testimony as she had so many consistent details. She mentioned it to her therapist before he was nominated to Supreme Court. She also wrote a letter to Congresswoman in CA when he was on a short list sharing her experience before he was even selected.

He is unbelievably dense. I saw some softball video during the RNC where he was showing the green room with the snacks that were there for everyone. He described it as "crap." Something like "There's a lot of crap here to eat" and picked up.a bag of chips or something. He sounded contemptuous and critical of this dumb perk. I thought that he's either one of those people who doesn't know better than to use a word like crap, which is offensive to some people or he's trying to be tough all the time. I think he's trying to act macho or something. And I thought about the people who worked to put together this spread and what a jerk he was being to them. He's just proved to be worse and worse. He can't answer a softball question like "What makes you happy?" He has zero charm, humor or charisma.

You have it wrong. It’s Penn and Yale vs Howard and Chadron State College.

This is the reason most rapists get away with it. It’s one of the reasons most victims don’t press charges. It’s a PROBLEM, not a sign of innocence.
