Democratic National Convention August 19-22 2024

If Trumpie was having a hamberder snack, it’s probably now smashed on the wall.

ETA: … “tax cut for 100 million million middle-class Americans”. Well, she just lost the billionaire vote! :laughing:

She’s hitting him where it’s going to hurt him: on women’s reproductive healthcare. And she’s stating facts, and in doing so, making her points extremely well.

“They don’t trust women. We trust women.”

I’m deeply moved by the statements of support for LGBTQ+ people throughout the convention.

The sign of a fantastic speech is that it hits peaks where you think it’s the grand finale, but no … there’s more – and then still more! The sums up in a nutshell the entire energy and optimism of the entire convention and campaign!

I’ll bring back the border bill and sign it!"

Yeah, but this is better than any infomercial. (“But wait, there’s more!”) But she’s touching on all the issues, comparing against Trump when appropriate, but otherwise making sure that everything is mentioned.

It’s so far past time.

The Democrats now have all the old Republican talking points – without losing any of their own.

What I was trying to say is that it hits an emotional peak where an ordinary person would feel this was a great point to end the speech. But Kamala is no ordinary person. She has more to say. A lot more!

Finally, Ukraine. And foreign policy.

Just my thing at least.

Good grief. An utterly clear statement on Israel – and on Palestine.

I’ve never listened to more than short clips of her speaking. This is really eye-opening. She IS good - confident, caring, just enough humor.

And Gaza. Pretty well done straddling the line there.

Yes, that was a needle threaded

The foreign policy specifics were really important, I think. First, the principles, then the specifics. Masterful!

Damn. She’s going to be a really good president.

Now she’s calling a spade a goddam shovel. “No cosying up to dictators like Kim Jong-Un, as Trump did, because they know that they can control him with flattery and favours.”

Yes, she is. :slight_smile:

She will have lots of help for the asking. And she knows to ask.

Extremely skillfully.

And where most politicians would have ducked it.

She’s amazing and I love her.
She hits the point that Trump is “easy to manipulate with fawning and flattery”

Damn she’s got me crying.
