I like how the democrats are taking back our flag, USA chants, and the idea of freedom.
Fuck those MAGA assholes. We need to take back the snek flag, too.
She killed it! That was spectacular!
The only thing progressive about the speech was the abortion issue. She kept talking about war, the most lethal military on the planet, went right wing on the border issue, etc.
Well rebel progressive scum, take comfort in the fact that she promised a “new way forward” which I assume no more of Bidens “red lines” on the war crimes we participate in that are ignored when they are crossed, and make no mistake, Henceforrth we will have “magenta lines” that we will all be very consternated at. She will have a new, stronger, grumpier way of readng Netenyahu the riot act! she might carry the pallets of bombs herself and slam them down meaningfully as they are delivered. (I mean, not too hard, we dont want the donors to notice) Watch out! Things are changing! Kamala knows us and will be the voice for *ALL Americans! Not just the donors!

Seriously though, about 60% of the US doesnt support Israels actions in this war and consider war crimes a top tier issue. the dems ignore that at their peril. Trump is not so far behind and they are rolling the dice on something that should be a slam dunk. Anyone notice Trump attacking the zionist Shapiro today? He’s trying to court the anti war voters. It wont be enough for me, but it might be the only possible vote for some people.
She is crushing it!
It’s just another empty Obama speechwriter teleprompter read. The general public is easily appeased.
Were you actually watching it?? She DELIVERED an emotional and pragmatic vision for America, and she plainly and clearly laid out her platform. We had friends over last night to watch it and we were standing UP by the end.
Like, this quote will go down in history and I am so glad I saw it live:
So, let’s get out there and let’s fight for it. Let’s get out there and let’s vote for it. And together, let us write the next great chapter in the most extraordinary story ever told!
Sorry for the late post, had a bunch of stuff going on today!
I watched the entire DNC, all 4 nights. I didn’t explicitly mean to, but it was so engrossing and informative. The old guard has finally passed the torch and there were so many killer moments that my enthusiasm has surpassed even Obama 08 levels. I am signing up to do some phone banking at least. I’ve not done it before but the website said they will train us so I’m stepping out of my comfort zone. I’m in a red state but nothing is impossible unless we just don’t try.
I did phone banking for Obama and it was… interesting. We’re a vote by mail state and they had us calling the reddest part of the state after the mailing deadline to remind people “Hey, it’s too late to mail your ballot, if you still want to vote, we can tell you where your local drop off location is.”
People were REALLY angry! Legally, we had to open with “I’m calling on behalf of the Barack Obama campaign…”
“I AINT VOTIN’ FOR OBAMA!”
“That’s fine, that’s not why I’m calling. It looks like you haven’t turned in your ballot yet and we just wanted to remind you, if you still want to vote, it’s too late to mail it. Do you need a list of ballot drop off locations?”
“Oh.”
