2020 DNC thread (starts at 9pm ET)

[JGibson]

Rep. Haaland's on fire.

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

For what it's worth, my folks have been really liking Night 4 so far

[KaiserDave]

Halaand is killing it. Hoping she gets higher office.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Tonight is not going well. I've also been surprised, overall, to see that Joe Biden has let the convention focus so much on "identity" issues. I love it, because I think they are so important, but the "selling point" of Biden was supposed to be his ability to talk to working-class whites. I haven't seen much of that at the convention. Maybe there really is something to be said for the talking point that he will be controlled by the party.

[big data boi]

what are the odds Trump is glued to his TV right now flickering angrily between CNN and Hannity?

Got my answer. Trump is on the phone with Hannity talking about his rocket ship stock market and how Biden is going to "kill our country"

[Ferguson97]

JLD is funny on VEEP and Seinfeld but her jokes tonight are falling flat for me.

The needs of the moment override any preconceived notions on Biden's appeal.

[South Dakota Democrat]

Maybe they're trying to make it so Biden's speech will look better than the rest of night 4 by comparison. (Doubt it, of course.)

[GoTfan]

SARAH COOPER!

YAAAS

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

Count me in the very silent minority that's kinda enjoying this night. I'm not finding JLD or this presentation as the big blunder that other folks here seem to be seeing it as.

I guess when you trot out the last of the heavy hitters yesterday, this hour was bound to pale in comparison.

[Roronoa D. Law]

Halaand is killing it. Hoping she gets higher office.

Yes, but I was looking forward to Heinrich and Lujan being the sexist duo in the Senate next year.

Well, the need of the moment is for Biden to win.

[Landslide Lyndon]

I'm really tired with all the lefties still complaining and comparing AOC's time with everyone else's.

Cory Booker talking about unions and the economy here.

[KaiserDave]

Booker, yes, unions are the path to the middle class!

Precisely

[KaiserDave]

And here's Joe's economy bit.

[JGibson]

Cory Booker was impressive.

[GeneralMacArthur]

They're going to whine about something.  It might as well be something as trivial and harmless as "waaa our goddess didn't get enough time to speak"

[Gass3268]

Here are the union folks!

Yep. It’s honestly pretty pathetic. Just ignore them, it’s for the best

[Crumpets]

Here are the union folks!

I'm sure the media will still argue that there wasn't enough outreach to "working class voters" because some of the union panelists are non-white and that this is therefore "identity politics."

[Landslide Lyndon]

Here are the union folks!

LOL, Weigel was blasting five minutes ago the organizers for featuring Sara Cooper but not any union people.

[WD]

UNION JOE

[JGibson]

Dr. Vivek Murthy now up.
