Hope tonights better

I’m hearing “cringy” all over tik tok. Of course, nothing else, just “cringy”. Would you care to elaborate on what made it “cringy”?


I watched and found nothing cringy at all. Maybe it's just a talking point republicans were prepared to blast on social media hoping they could mislead folks who didn't watch?

What's cringy about the married couple talking about their devastation having a miscarriage and then the bleeding wife not being given any medical care due to Trump's policies and judges. I appreciated a man (just like Tim Walz did re: IVF) speaking about how reproductive freedom for women is a man's issue too and will impact men. What's cringey about a young woman explaining how current abortion laws in some states wouldn't have allowed her to get an abortion despite incest when she was raped at 12: "how is it a beautiful thing for a child to give birth to her father's child?"

What was cringy about Warnock's oratory? Or Biden's forceful and emotional speech? Or Jasmine Crockett? Or HRC?

Perhaps they didn't like Harris being humanized by people who've known her for decades? Or Biden being praised by his wife and only surviving daughter?

It appears that some republicans are so used to a diet of cynicism and negativity that genuine joy and hope and unity causes them to cringe. I feel fortunate that I don't feel that way. Several times last night I had to rub tears from my eye or felt genuine happiness and I'm grateful for it.


Do you even hear yourself talk?

Do I really want to hear about some couple’s gruesome miscarriage on national television? A man showboating about his feminism so he can get kudos at the next PTA meeting when he’s one of the three Dads who attends? A woman who admittedly is really good-looking talking about her father impregnating her at 12 years old when that’s not the baby’s fault?

Warnock aping a 9th grader impersonating MLK Jr? Raskin abandoning all forms of civility to take a cheap shot at the Republican ticket? That “look at me I’m a hot chick carrying a big book” state senator Mallory from Michigan? Jasmine Crockett’s ongoing rudeness and insolence in that silly getup? Mrs. Clinton stepping on the judicial system to intimidate judges into imprisoning a former President who has immunity for his actions in serving the country and erasing any chance of blackmail?

C’mon.


Yes, yes I do.

Me too!

Yes, she is doing an event in Milwaukee. It is close by and an important city and state for the Electoral politics.

Yes, in years past the candidate wouldn’t arrive until Thursday. More recently there have been the surprise first day appearances like Harris did last night and Trump has done in the past. But no, it’s not normal for the candidate to stay in their seat at the convention the whole time.

Perfectly normal. The candidate does not typically hang around for mundane convention business.

I was hoping she might make time for an interview. She needs to fit one in before the month mark hits.

Yes holding campaign rallies in Wisconsin is normal.🙂

This arena is where the RNC just was and she’s going to fill it.

Horrifying. It seems like this is the first time any of them attempted to sing it.

It's a committee meeting. What are you "wow" about? That they aren't professional singers? Don't worry, they'll have another recording artist sing this evening. One who isn't a washed-up, has-been!

Why? She seems to be doing just fine talkiing directly to the voters via her rallies and social media. This isn't 1980.

1. Biden never should have announced the race/sex requirements for his VP pick. If he wanted Harris he should have just picked her and let her merits stand alone. By making that preemptive announcement it put a taint on her that she wasn't necessarily the best person for the job.
2. If Biden was planning to drop out, which I doubt because he fought it tooth and nail, it obviously should have been done much earlier.
3. Once he dropped out and the party decided on Harris, it's time to sell her to the public and that means interviews, public events, press conferences. "She's busy" doesn't cut it.


I disagree. I’m so glad Trump spent $100M on anti-Biden ads and could not use them.

The GOP has not had the time to set up a powerful Hate Machine against Harris as they did with HRC.

She doesn’t need to do interviews. Celebrities and politicians are doing fewer of those. And no way to press conferences filled with MAGA Heads, who would use the platform for their lies and grievances.



DP. I will also add that Kamala should not give interviews to the same media that keeps giving Donald a pass on all the lies he says in interviews. What value is an interview if the interviewer and interviewee engage in bad faith.

Bots are hitting your social algorithms; trying to manipulate you into having a false sense of reality.


There are no protests?


A healthy democracy will always have protests. If you don't like them, go live in Russia.


Pro-Hamas protests, just to be clear.


Pro-Palestine =/= Pro-Hamas!

Your lies are the reasons you are not taken seriously.
