Is there a way to watch it online without the audio being totally disconnected from the video?
If you have a smart TV I have found it to be synced up well.

Pretty sure I can say with confidence already that the DNC will have much better music than the RNC.

So far, this feels kind of like the Democratic Christmas Special starring Eva Longoria and many special guests. I like it. Kudos to the creative team who had to figure out how to organize a remote convention.

The Mayor of DC didn't impress in my view, but George Floyd's family certainly did.

her teleprompter was real far to the left

Hard not to be when it's next to a Bloomberg supporter.  Tongue

The RNC should balance out all this diversity next week.

Why is country music playing? Oh god why.

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

Even though his most recent album was pretty close to being a Country album.

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

I thought that Joe was a bit eh on that too, he could have been more decisive.

The Democratic leadership should consider Garner's mother a huge FF for managing that. I hope what she did is kept in mind when police reform bills make it to Congress.

Clyburn transition was weak but his speech is strong if the oratory skill is lacking.

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

You realize that this is a segment of the convention devoted to issues of race, right?

Also, Clinton lost in the midwest due to depressed Black turnout.
