2024 Democratic National Convention

[Anonymous]

I'd say good on them if they played that masterfully to entice so many people to tune in. When were Dems ever able to beat Rs at this bait and switch game? are they finally catching on? I'm glad if they are, gives me hope they will be able to counter shenanigans yet to come.

The RNC and DNC are in the business of tricking regular every day Americans at the benefit of their wealthy and powerful donors. This is the definition of the current state of American politics. Fool the gullible and naive in order to please the wealthy financial backers. That's how it works. Don't like it? Stop being so gullible!

How about you go and start your own thread about this subject and stop polluting this thread with your incessant whining?

Yes please!!!!!!!!!

They're all bad, comrade.
Don't vote at all and all will be well.
Messaging received!

And yes, you stink of Russian bot.

Because it will help the Russians when Americans finally figure out it's our awful two political parties holding us back from properly using our wealth, power, and resources to once again become the greatest country in the world by a wide margin? Theo, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Try harder.

When turnout is depressed the Republicans win and the Republicans support Russia.

Big picture dim wit. Our political dysfunction won't be fixed in one election. What happens in November is important but it's a drop in the bucket long term.

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.

So you're unqualified to be president if you're estranged from a parent? What a ridiculous comment.

+1 her father wasn't around and she adored her mother. Not exactly unusual. Also evidently he's cold, critical, and humorless.

She needs him for exactly nothing.

Harris is a decent person and perhaps her father is too. Her father probably loves her and misses his baby but he is likely disappointed in the fact that his daughter is now a bought and paid for puppet of one of our two awful major political parties.

Please provide one shred of evidence that Kamala is a "decent person," as most people would define that. And by the way, her father is a Marxist.

I’ll play. She’s in a blended family and her step kids— and their biological mother— clearly adore her. As someone with two step parents, I will say that that speaks very well of her. Step parent an incredibly tough role to pull off well. Kids know when you’re phoning it in. Exs are predisposed to be defensive.

As noted in PP, even hardened criminals and Mafia members "clearly adore" evil family members.

Why don't you ask the 92% of her staff members who have left her employ, due to her screaming and bullying? Ask them if she is a "decent person." They know her better than you do.

Except teen step kids and their bio mom aren’t really family (let me finish, I’m not JD Vance) unless you put a lot of care and effort in. They can be people you co-exist with, more or less peacefully. They can be the person your parent married, and then you went to college and seeing them is the price of seeing your “real parent”. Or they can be people who play a real parental role in your life. Its takes effort to get option 3.

Again teens— not stupid about this. Your ex— even less so.

Same thing.

There is an enthusiasm gap with Kamala and they’ve used free concerts or the promise of free concerts as a way to fool young people to tune in to Kamala.

They knew more people would tune in to watch Bernie and the Clintons and Obamas speak and then tune out the last day when Kamala speaks so they used a surprise celebrity appearance as a gimmick last night

Oh yeah huge enthusiasm problem

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.

Did Trump talk about policy? No, he rambled for over an hour and a half about how the 2020 election was stolen, Hannibal Lecter and the assassination attempt. He did not talk about policy, a strategy or plan so please stop.

I like Kamala. I always thought she came across as a goofball, but she is highly experienced and intelligent. So, why not? Why hold a woman to a higher standard?

Edgy youngsters whine. It is wha they have always done. Millennials, though, have made it an Olympic sport. Thus, their real generational moniker is The Whiniest Generation.

Let's just hope our future generations are smarter than the generations that since 2000 have elected the son of a former POTUS, a one term senator with zero executive experience, an unhinged reality TV narcissist, and a guy 20 years past his prime with no chance of being fit to serve two terms. I'm pretty sure our future generations can do no worse!

She spoke for 45 minutes but I still have no idea of what her specific plan will be to fix any of our nation’s problems.

Trump also had a 92% turnover rate in his four years in the White House. More importantly, those 92% refused to endorse or vote for him.

And in Harris' case, there was one additional factoid. 24 of the 47 (51%) of those who left, left when Flournoy, Harris' chief of staff, left after a year. The majority of those staffers were Flournoy's hand picks. They came on board with her and they left to go with her.
