2020 DNC thread (starts at 9pm ET)

[WD]

Why is country music playing? Oh god why.

[WD]

I understand why they have to have this “police are good, actually” stuff to balance things out, but it feels incredibly tone-deaf.

Tone-deaf to whom? The vast majority of the public probably agrees that most individual cops are not bad people.

Yeah, plus it helps push back against the narrative that dEmS hAtE cOpS1111!!

[WD]

I have to say I am concerned about the emphasis on African Americans and racial identity politics.  I think it could turn off potential white Midwest voters.

Anyone who’s turned off by focusing on African American issues was never voting for a Democrat regardless

[WD]

Cuomo sounds really dry for some reason

[WD]

I'd rather hear from Newsom anyday over Cuomo. East Coast Bias!!!

West coast best coast

[WD]

Can't believe AOC complained about only getting sixty seconds when literally every speech has been 30-60 seconds.  I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she didn't know all the speeches were going to be similarly truncated.

I really wish Sara Gideon got more time.  Biden, Cunningham, Gideon are the three most important races.  Then again Cal Cunningham may not get to speak at all.

Cunningham seems to have some clout with rural whites, it might be better if he doesn't speak.

What do you mean? Appealing to rurals whites is something Democrats should want. The more votes the better.

Good stuff, DNC.

ing yikes.

What say you now, Western Democrat and Blairite?

Well if he was on infowars then he shouldn’t be at the DNC. That’s a big yikes.

Why am I being called out lol

[WD]

Getting Cortez-Masto to talk about vote by mail makes so much sense, given her state, that I’m amazed it hadn’t occurred to me.

That kitchen tho

It will definitely appeal to the suburbanites

[WD]

AMTRAK JOE

[WD]

Rose Twitter in shambles. You hate to see it.

[WD]

Hey look, less than an hour before Night 2!

Perhaps we can shove the daily Bernie relitigation aside for 120 minutes.

But what fun is the internet without endless arguments?

[WD]

AOC is HOT, even more than normal.

lol

[WD]

AOC is HOT, even more than normal.

With all due respect, have you seen the vice presidential nominee?

With all due respect, have either of you seen the senior Senator of Arizona?

With all due respect, have any of you seen the Governor of Michigan?

[WD]

Pete!

[WD]

KLOBUCHAR!

[WD]

This is the 2nd convention with way too much identity politics.

This convention looks like the country. The RNC has future criminals on it's schedule for obviously racist reasons.

The Maine delegate was literally a gay black guy.

Ok and....?

[WD]

OREGON!!!

[WD]

THE STARS AT NIGHT ARE BIG AND BRIGHT....

JESUS ING CHRIST OF ALL THE ING DEMOCRATS IN MY STATE YOU PICK THE ER WHO ENDORSED THE REPUBLICAN IN OUR ING SECRETARY OF STATE RACE

I'm done. I'm ****ing done.                                                                                                                                    

You care way too much about someone who appeared on screen for 10 seconds.

Nah. Traitors don't deserve a platform.

How are they traitors?

[WD]

Nice choice of music here.

A real banger

I'm done. I'm ****ing done.

Nah. Traitors don't deserve a platform.

Very well then. Allow me to explain it, more calmly.

Again - John Lynch literally endorsed the de facto Republican candidate for Secretary of State.

It's a very strange situation. Although Gardner was nominally a Democrat, the NHDP actively endorsed another candidate because he had endorsed Trump/Kobach's sham fraud commission. Because he was largely seen as a nonpartisan figure (and more importantly, doing Trump's bidding), the NHGOP decided to nominate him anyway. There were a few crossovers, the most prominent of which being John Lynch.

Gardner won the election by 4 votes. You can understand why I'm pissed off, no?

I don’t really care about some low level office in a Likely D state. So, no I don’t.

[WD]

POWELL!! LONG LIVE THE DEEP STATE!

[WD]

Any time someone questions Joe's judgement again, I'll show them this picture

🥵🥵🥵

[WD]

Who would have guessed ten years ago that an entire prime time lineup for the 2020 DNC would include the architects of the Iraq War and a tribute to John McCain haha

Who would've guessed ten years ago that 99% of Republican elected officials would become Donald Trump's bitches?

Celebrating a COVID spike to own the libs.
You are a real charmer.

Pot meet kettle.  Celebrating COVID  to "own" Trump and the Republicans has been a hallmark of yours (and several other liberal posters) for months now.

Can you show me where exactly I celebrated COVID?
And if you don't then I expect an effing apology before you get the hell out of here and never return.

You've had no shortage of smug, celebratory one-liners:

In response to Rep. Gohmert testing positive:

Karma is a bitch.

When hospitals in South TX were dealing with a surge in cases:

Who had "Red State Death Panels" on their COVID bingo card?

Where is Sarah Palin when you need her?

On a day with a record # of new cases:

Has anyone congratulated Trump for yesterday's record?

And that's ignoring every self-satisfied post you've made (typically by only posting a Tweet) about a GOP congressperson, governor or state legislator testing positive for the virus (but never for the many Democrats who have, hmm...)

We all get that you're a partisan hack with tens of others ready to stand behind him, but maybe try to be a bit more self-aware?  Anyway, I had clicked to show your post just for a moment of brief entertainment but for the time being I'll be keeping you on ignore

Will someone please boot this brainless jackass from the forum, please? I think nothing of value would be lost.

Are you going to deny anything from Del Tachi's post about LL?

Calling someone a hack isn’t a substantive argument.

[WD]

"Young climate activists" better not be the Sunrise Movement.



They have absolutely no place in the Democratic Party.

God I hate these idiots

These guys are slime. They can go screw themselves
