🇺🇸 Discussion: The DEMOCRATIC P - Part 3

[Lily Adler]

Bless you, Pete. More patience than me, lol.

I believe he, Bernie, Tulsi, and Yang were the only ones willing to go on there. Now we know Tulsi was a Republican and Yang is a techbro Libertarian.

There's an AU where we got two Warren terms over a Trump and Biden terms.

Just a very solid speaker and can’t even fully notice that he’s at an away venue given how much he can push to get his points across.

Simple. She was the next logical choice after Joe. They all know Trump is not mentally well and will do anything even try to kill them to stay in power. So all hands on deck let's save democracy kick in.

This socialist just became an establishment favorite

Hochul or Schumer are her best bets. Gillibrand will be harder to dethrone. I feel like she is a Hillary Clinton type. I would rather she be in the Senate than Governor unless she wants to full speed ahead on POTUS. She has said in the past that she finds POTUS a position that's too compromising on her morals.

I think I am willing to believe that she is going to stay in the House. The House needs its stars as much as the Senate.

Democrats Feared Another 1968 Convention. They Got Something Very Different.

Worries that the party, after changing its presidential nominee only weeks before, would tear itself apart again in Chicago were overblown.

IIRC the protestors predicted 30-40 thousand and got like 10 times less.

Dan Rather: “It is no secret that I have seen a few things, been around not just the block but the whole damn city. I can tell you all about national political conventions. I’ve covered 32 of them, going back to 1960. Here’s my takeaway from Chicago 2024: It wasn’t just well done, it was a spectacularly produced event. Frankly, I can’t recall a convention that went off this smoothly or looked this good.

In big games, you always hope your best players will be in top form. In Chicago, all the big Democrats showed up, ready to play. From the old-school Dems (the Obamas and the Clintons) to the new kids on the block (Governor Walz and the party’s bench of young, rising stars), the speeches were spot on. That was especially true for the newly minted nominee. Vice President Kamala Harris’s address was one of the more impressive acceptance speeches I have heard. Most nominees in the modern era have months or longer to prepare for the biggest night of their political lives. Harris pulled it off with 30 days notice.
For all of the stagecraft wizardry, her speech needed to be everything all at once, a high-wire act with no net. What she said and how she said it could mean the difference between winning and losing.”
