2020 DNC thread (starts at 9pm ET)

If the beginning video is any indicator....




This will be great stuff

Bastón really did a great job. It sets the tone for the rest of the convention.

Great speech by Kasich.

Doug Jones speaking at the DNC probably just torpedoed whatever slim chances of reelection he had.

The best part was when it ended.

"Even though Trump hates the Post Office, he will still have to fill out a change of address form come January."

AMYJOKES ARE BACK BABYYYYY

Oh god no

[LeBron]

More Republicans....oh joy.

More Republicans....oh joy.

They are entirely critical to building a winning coalition. These are sensible Americans who want a change.

Okay, but Kasich, Powell, or a Republican veteran aren’t going to be the reasons why suburban Republicans vote for Biden. The fact that he’s not Trump is good enough for them. imo you may as well use this convention to give more time to people like Yang or AOC, who are actually Democrats and can energize the base to turnout.

This.  Also, as someone else pointed out, all this "text vote to 30330" stuff makes it sound like a telethon.  They need to give people a reason to vote, not just say "Vote, damnit!"

Totally!

I think the risk is they wouldn't vote at all.

I'll actually give credit to the anti-Trump Republicans and say most of them would still vote even if the Democrats didn’t reach out to them as much as they are now. They know the stakes.

I think a limited deployment was smart. Kasich and Powell were the main two.

But I have no problem at all with Republican voters explaining their opposition to the Trump disaster, These are people, and their voice is both useful and important.

If it was one or two, I may not have said anything, but the DNC highlighted an absurdly high number of former Republican voters who are voting for Biden. And that's on top of all of the Republican elected officials. It was a bit much. We might have to agree to disagree though.

Oh s--t Scott Jennings getting owned Jennifer Granholm.  He's such a slimy little asswipe.

Scott Jennings really does a great job at getting owned. I don’t know how he does it.
