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.

I am so sick of this damn racism. What do you want? A Klan rally? The Democratic Party isn't going to go alt-right and racist, so you should just stick with the GOP.

Part of the reason Clinton lost Wisconsin was due to decreased African-American turnout in Milwaukee.

It's the first 20 minutes or so of the first day and the polling suggests white voters are readier than ever to support racial justice reform.  I thought Lori Lightfoot's bit on using economic empowerment to fight racism was hard to construe as exclusive or (allegedly) "anti-white".

Worth noting that there have been no boats so far.

How dare Democrats focus on the justified concerns of their single most dedicated constituency

African Americans have been one of the longest and most loyal voting blocks for the Democrat Party for over a century. Why wouldn't there be an emphasis on African Americans?

Gotta give him some mad props for the video quality though.  Looks like 4K.

I really don't like Cuomo but the speech is alright. I'm not looking forward to his 2024 campaign.

EDIT: Apparently, he'll be on the night Biden speaks. Nice!

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

Why couldn't they pick someone like Lamont instead? By putting a relative of a COVID-19 victim on after Cuomo, they've invited the GOP to dunk on his awful record.

This woman who lost her dad to Covid-19 really went in on Trump.

This speech is incredible. Hits with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer.

Pardon me I’m just being honest. Why am I so attacked? I’m a proud intergendered woman who is voting for Biden but I have bad vibes from all of this.

I think you need to focus more on the content of these speeches, and less on the skin color of the person giving the speech.

Cuomo blows, but I do agree that the presentation was good for his bit. I hope he doesn’t run in 2024, doubt he’s going anywhere if he does though.
