Democrat Convention Thread

For sure, he couldn't handle it. This is the first time in my life that I've seen a presidential candidate literally hide from the public. Shake my head.

 

Yes its a meme.

 

Its the most pathetic thing I've ever seen, and his supporters are clapping like seals that its a brilliant strategy.

 

Tis.

 

And the irony is after Obama was elected it was the democrat party that was using social media and pop culture effectively. I guess they forgot. That's understandable when the party elders are all over the age of 206.

 

I wasn't sure because they democrats are that tone deaf.

 

That's one way to justify racism.

 

It will be interesting to see how the GOP compares.

 

It's called politics for a reason, I guess that cuts across the grain of your authoritarian instinct.

 

LOL

There is no comparison between the parties. For the democrats its all about identity which is actually insulting but liberals must be too stupid to realize this. There is nothing noble about seeing someone by their gender and pigment first.

 

Actually, that was kind of hilarious.

Trump got into one of his tantrums and moved the convention to Florida. But then Republican politicians and donors suddenly remembered they had to organise their sock drawer that week. You know the drill, rats leaving the ship, because unlike the Cult, they aren't idiots.

So Trump had to crawl back to NC.

He's very tall for a child.

 

First night of 2020 DNC tanks in TV ratings compared to 2016 convention [
The first night of the virtual 2020 Democratic National Convention was largely a snoozefest and that was reflected in its dismal TV ratings, which tanked compared to the opening festivities of 2016.

Networks CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox News, MSNBC and CNN averaged 18.68 million viewers during the overlapping hour of coverage beginning at 10 p.m. Monday, according to The Hollywood Reporter, a 28-percent plunge from the opening night of the 2016 DNC.

A dip wasn’t unexpected, as more and more viewers tune in through streaming services and mobile devices, which are not factored into traditional TV ratings.

Aside from a rousing speech by former first lady Michelle Obama endorsing presumptive candidate Joe Biden, the night was also short on instant must-see moments from conventions past, as most remarks were pre-taped with the event held virtually due to the coronavirus.

The broadcast networks — CBS, NBC and ABC — took the biggest hit, with a 42-percent decline in viewers from 2016.

Not a good sign.

 

So true.

Republicans are the party of chaos, saboteurs, authoritarianism, and death.

Starting with Nixon, when the Republicans became the party of crooks and crazies, and most of what Dems do is clean up their mess.

Blacks are being assimilated, finally, and if that chaps your butt, you'll have to excuse me if I relish the schadenfreude...

 

Most conventions suck.

 

Do you need a hug? You sound like you need a hug. How about a box of baby alpacas? Alpacas are awesome.

 

Your gift for the English language is positively Shakespearean.

 

That's really brutal! Sad.

 

I see tonight's token RINO Republocrat is John McCain's wife, Cindy.

I don't know what they're trying to do other than "Hate Trump". Is the message, "We don't have any plans, but we like old rich white Republicans and the Marxist Progressives, too!"

Seems like a hard one to sell....or for anyone to really swallow.

 

Yup and Trump is running circles around them. It really is something to watch.

 

Usually we hear all about the money being spent on the campaign but not this cycle. We hear nothing about the democrats. I don't think they are really trying.

 

If I can grind my teeth through a few more nights of the DNC, then hopefully the GOP convention will be like getting a double-scoop of ice cream for desert as a reward after your mom made you sit and eat her bland over-cooked mushy vegetables.

 

Ooof. And Biden has the lowest voter enthusiasm of any candidate ever recorded.

Surely by now, dems must understand what this means.

 

Im waiting for Mitt Romney to moonwalk onto the stage in his mom jeans.

 

They are already looking ahead to 2024.

The top candidate according to the poll was Cuomo.

 

Five days until we get ice cream.
