2020 DNC thread (starts at 9pm ET)

[Landslide Lyndon]

Bowser is an...interesting...choice.

If DC becomes a state will she be called the governor?

[Landslide Lyndon]

Is there a way to watch it online without the audio being totally disconnected from the video?

I have no such problem on youtube.

[Landslide Lyndon]

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.

Newsfllash: lots of African-Americans in in the midwest.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Cuomo is really a charisma black hole.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Cuomo sounds really dry for some reason

He is always like that. The epitome of a technocrat.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Doug Jones is a good man. Too bad he will be replaced by an idiot.

[Landslide Lyndon]

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

Room raters are going to have a field day.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Now, imagine of Sanders gave a speech like that four years ago.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Rose Twitter in shambles. You hate to see it.

Death to the counterrevolutionaries!

They shouldn't do zoom reactions again. Too many mishaps or awkward moments where people don't realize they're supposed to be clapping.

Probably too late to fix some of the transitions too. A bit abrupt or random at times, or at least could be smoother.

But, overall, I guess probably as good as could be expected?

Imagine they were preparing this for months and they still had these small problems.
Not let's see next week what happens to RNC which had literally less than a month to make the transition.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Online MAGA is MAD about that Michelle Obama speech.

Online MAGA is always mad for something.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Now, imagine of Sanders gave a speech like that four years ago.

Now, imagine the Hacks for Hillary brigade treating Bernie’s supporters with more respect than they’d give a housefly.

FWIW, Bernie bros heckled Brie Brie (out of all people) yesterday because she dared to say that she'd support a Sanders/Michelle Obama ticket.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Hillary, on the other hand, had to reckon with the fact that her team treated Bernie poorly (and arguably unfairly), and in return they didn't receive as enthusiastic a backing as they believed they were entitled to. That's completely on Hillary. Biden formed a much better relationship with Sanders, and he's reaping the benefits. It's one of the most positive aspects of Biden in my opinion, he's great at forming good relationships with people on both sides and that's how progress gets made.

I always hear that Clinton treated Sanders poorly, and yet after all these years I'm still waiting for one single, specific instance where that happened. Did she refuse to shake his hand after a debate? Did she stick a kick-me sign on his back? Did she spit in his coffee?
And please, don't tell me conspiracy theories about DWS rigging the primaries and/or the debates.

[Landslide Lyndon]

I like this around the country roll call. I hope it stays even when things go back to normal.

[Landslide Lyndon]

That North Dakota background was amazing.

[Landslide Lyndon]

I need one of those "No Malarkey" t-shirts.
NOW!

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.

[Landslide Lyndon]

MARISKA IS A COP!

[Landslide Lyndon]

So basically they're comparing Trump to a domestic abuser.

Trump IS a domestic abuser.

[Landslide Lyndon]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[Landslide Lyndon]

Watching Kamala's speech, it's wild thinking about how her & her campaign team managed to just completely bungle her primary campaign.

Harris could have ran the best campaign ever and she still wouldn't come close to the nomination. It's obvious that the Democratic electorate was in no mood to take chances with an African-American woman against Trump.

[Landslide Lyndon]

How somebody can watch Obama speak and then afterwards watch Trump speak and think "that's my guy" is just beyond me.

You underestimate how much hate there is out there.
