Democratic National Convention August 19-22 2024

Schumer is the well-meaning guy who can kill any party.

He’s not gonna kill this one.

Awkward, but still a far better dancer than Trump. :wink:

My guy!! (Bernie Sanders)

Nevermind. I can’t read.

No idea about New Hampshire

What song did they play for California?

There was a short but very effective speech by political commentator and strategist Ana Navarro that CNN somehow failed to note in their “Live Updates”. Navarro addressed Trump’s attack on Harris as “communist”. She talked about knowing what communism is from her family background in Nicaragua, talked about dictators like Maduro and Castro and others and what they do to their people – take away their freedoms, refuse to accept election results when they lose, advocate violence to overturn them, appoint family members to cushy government positions, and they’re never able to be dictators “just for one day”, and then asked the audience to compare that to Trump’s behaviours and consider who the real threat was.

Pritzker’s sticking it to Trump. If Trump is watching, I’m sure that the wall will be ketchup-stained after this one, if they aren’t already.

Pritzker: “Trump claims to be very rich. But take it from an actual billionaire – the only thing Trump is rich in is stupidity.” :rofl:

Does Pritzker have any Presidential ambitions? I like him.

It seems likely that he does. He was considered for Harris’s VP a few weeks ago.

(The Pritzker family is one of the wealthiest in the U.S.; much of their money comes from founding and expanding the Hyatt Corporation.)

He’s coming across to me as yet another angry white guy.

He’s angry about the right stuff – but we’re not going to beat one angry white guy with another angry white guy. (Luckily, we’re not trying to.)

– ooh – that was a good line about women cleaning up messes, though.

I’m a little over billionaires or “billionaires” in the Oval Office. Give me 8 years of Coach Walz. He’s just as good a speaker, and he understands the issues of everyday Americans. He’s lived them. (Maybe Pritzker has, too, and is a self-made billionaire. I don’t know enough about him.)

See my revised post above; it’s family fortune.

Every nominating convention has a section in the middle hammering the opponent. Good conventions then go back to a positive/uplifting finish.

Thank you. Then I’m an unqualified fan of Walz over Pritzker!

Let me ask: Is this REALLY communism, though? I’m not a communist, but I’ve heard people who are more sympathetic to communism say that “True communism doesn’t have a dictator.” and “True communism’s never been tried.”

Sometimes there are things that genuinely and justifiably make people angry. Pritzker comes across to me like someone who isn’t afraid to speak his mind. As a CNN commentator put it, “Democrats are learning how to troll the troller-in-chief”.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell were both seen near a protest during the DNC in Chicago on Tuesday. Aren’t they both wanted criminals?
