2024 Democratic National Convention

[Anonymous]

So tired of all the doom & gloom in this country. I love Harris & Walz's message that we can make this country and this world better yet, and we can do it by working with our friends and neighbors.

The message from so many places - prominently but not exclusively from Republicans - is that our best days are behind us; that the best we can do is try to recover some part of a diminished part of yesterday (usually by hating on some group or groups that they deem responsible for our troubles.)

And that's the hopeful vision. There are plenty who want to declare the world a lost cause, throw up their hands and either give up or burn the place down.

America is a good place, and we can make it better.

She lived in a multicultural red-lined neighborhood. Her single mom, her, and her sister lived in an apartment above a daycare. She was bused to school. Her neighbors were firefighters. The village that helped raise her was blue collar. Even if her parents were professionals she didn't grow up in a white collar environmental.

Also, do you really think her minority parents were paid equal pay to other researchers and professors? Her speech didn't say blue collar, she said middle class.

DT fast tweeting during the speech is hilarious.

LOL, tell me you don't know anything about the salaries of most professors without telling me. My mom was a college professor - we weren't exactly rolling in it. My upbringing was solidly middle class.

He really is unraveling (not that he was all that stable to begin with).

From 12-17 she lived in Montreal while her mother was a professor at McGill. Crickets about that in her speech because it doesn’t fit the narrative.

Exactly. Her whole life, she was very deprived.

Her agenda is centrist and mainstream. Just curious what you don't like? She is an extension of Biden - support global alliances, grow the economy, create jobs etc.

I'm the poster you quoted. I thought Biden was a not so good president. Labeling someone "centrist" or saying they want to "grow the economy" is the sort of pitch that might appeal to her current supporters, but it's not really the stuff that changes minds.

She mentioned moving for her parents’ jobs. And again, without tenure one professor doesn’t make much money.

The only reason the ratings will be higher than Trump speech is because we all watch is because we all wanted to see Beyonce. I felt sleep twice in the couch while watching her. Only reason a lot of us watch because we love Beyonce,, but it doesn't mean we will vote for her.

Just STFU, you stupid weird MAGA.

Montreal is in Canada, which is a country; a country north of the USA.

Winters in Canada are extremely long, very very dark, and also extremely cold. It was surely very hard for her growin up there.

It’s all they have. She hit it out of the park last night. The democrats did something amazing in their convention- defined their politics as the rightful politics of the United States. The trolls attacks therefore look even weaker and smaller than usual. 2.5 months is an eternity in politics. She could stumble and the race could change again. Nothing is in the bag. But right now? They have nothing. And they know it.

The DNC and their candidates do receive more in campaign donations from pro-Israel sources but it's hundreds of millions of dollars going both ways. They are all bought and paid for politicians at this point. People that will end up voting for Trump are idiots. People that vote for Harris aren't as dumb as the Trump voters. The smartest people will give both of them and their awful parties the middle finger on election day. We must show them that we are tired of this money ruling politics garbage. We have a Government for the money and by the money instead of for the people and by the people. Wake up folks! They all suck.

Lol Actually the smartest people will be voting based on their own priorities. It’s only the dumbest people— puffed up be reading shizz like this encouraging them to see themselves as “smartest” by not voting who will abstain from voting.

People who choose not to vote are giving those who do vote exponentially more power. Blue voters in potential swing states absolutely need to go out and vote since electoral college votes could end up being decided by very tiny margins— and the results are likely to be contested.

So, Boris, please explain — logically, if you can manage it — how not voting will “show them” anything other than multiple stupid, badly influenced decisions to give up political power. How much money did you get for making this post?
