Truth bomb.

No one with a conscience can vote for either of them. No way.

Oh lookie, another stooge trying to trick us into staying home and electing Trump.

lol it’s so transparent at this point

+1. To be fair, it worked for the a Bernie Bros and threw 2016 to Trump. This year, Dems have learned, and are playing together nicely. So now it’s NeIThER caNDiDatE. Again, this is a vote for Trump. If you sit out, at least be clear that you are still choosing a candidate. And honestly, if you support the rapist/ felon, just say so. At least the rest of us can steer clear of you weirdos.

Also— Russian bots— try again. This tact isn’t working either.

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.

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.

Including that would not have taken away from her speech. Sad that her mother had to leave America for a better lifestyle.

Tweens don't get to pick where they live. What is important is that when she could decide for herself, she returned to America to attend Howard University (HBCU) and selected a career of service.

And by the way, where was her father on the biggest night of her life? Oh that's right. They hate each other.

That's an assumption, but as someone who posts on DCUM , you should know that family relationship are complicated. Plenty of people can relate to a strained relationship with a parent.

And by the way, I want to tell you a secret...Mrs. Trump can't stand her husband.

How do you know? At least she was there every night of the convention.

I have a "complicated" relationship with my parents, too, but I can assure you that if I was giving an acceptance speech for a presidential party nomination, my parents would be there.

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.

Also, Montreal is in Quebec. Which speaks French. And her mother was an immigrant from…. India. So, they weren’t speaking French at home. Gotta say, spending tween and teen years operating in a second language is tough.

Exactly. Her whole life, she was very deprived.

There exists a ground between “very deprived” and golden toilets. Bills are paid, but it’s tight some months. The car breaks down, and you might not be able to pay to get it fixed with a loan from family or friends. Most of America lives in this economic zone. Mocking it is in extremely poor taste.

Almost as transparent as claiming Beyonce was coming just so people didn’t leave early before Kamala.

Please show me where the DNC said Beyoncé is coming. I asked for this before but got crickets.

That's how rumors work, genius. They promoted a rumor, it gets picked up, and gullible people believe it.
And, there were tons of gullible people in the arena last night.

But it wasn't a realistic rumor. The DNC advertised that Pink was the featured performer. Anyone who realistically thought that Beyonce and Pink would be featured on the same night (or the alternative rumor was Taylor Swift and Pink) doesn't really understand how these things work. The likelihood of two A-lister music acts on the same night was unrealistic.

The only discussion was about whether Beyonce or Taylor Swift would endorse Harris. And then people got it in their heads that these headliners were going to show up at the DNC to announce their endorsement. Unlikely. If either of them were going to be at the convention, the DNC would have been headlining their announcements of the convention with that information, just like they were loudly proclaiming that Pink would be there.

Just stop.

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.

No. Objectively, she did not "hit it out of the park." She did not appear to be drunk and she managed through a short speech, after saying thank you 25+ times, which is an accomplishment for her, I guess.

Game on. I'm for Trump and like our position at this point.

Is anyone actually dumb enough to think Trump or Harris is going to do anything to make their lives better? Silly people.

They have consistently released the ratings all week. They've outperformed the RNC convention every night on Nielsen ratings and I'm sure last night will be the same. And Nielsen ratings don't even account for people who streamed online -- Harris' base is younger and more educated than Trump's so the higher TV ratings likely don't even include a large chunk of viewers who just streamed the speeches straight from the DNC website or YouTube.

They are "hidding" nothing. The convention was a huge success and they will talk up that success at every opportunity because they are running a tight and professional presidential campaign. Trump on the other hand is hiding a lot of stuff and his campaign is a mess. Good luck soldier -- you picked the wrong side.

Here's a little secret....

I am a Trump supporter who tuned into some of the coverage to see if they talked about policy.

You know what I didn't hear? Talk about policy. Platitudes about "focusing on the middle class" doesn't cut it. That is not policy. It is not a strategy or a plan. In fact, based on her last 3 1/2 years, it's a lie.

You tuned into some of the coverage, but you know what was discussed through your the entire evening?

They would never have brought in Beyoncé or Taylor because the night had to be about Harris. No one at the DNC wanted the headlines today to read "Beyoncé thrills crowd in surprise appearance."

They actually nailed it with enough star power to make the night feel important and festive, some short but good speeches from a variety of Dem up and comers, none if whom stole the spotlight, and then just Harris's family talking about Harris, and Harris herself. She was the star. It worked! Every report on the convention is a huge photo of Harris looking strong and happy and pull quotes from her speech which was loaded with good soundbites and well delivered.

If Beyoncé had performed it would have been about Beyoncé. If Taylor had done an endorsement speech it would have been about Taylor. Neither if those women are running for president though.

and what % watch it because of Beyonce -

doing the week of RNC- I was on vacation and MLB Home Run Derby was on and All Star Game was on the following day.

Bad organization by the RNC. At least Dems can read a calendar and knew not to counterprogram the Olympics.

True but she isn't as embarrassing and obnoxious as Trump.
