Must say, I wanted to hear more from Bernie about Big Egg (!?) but otherwise my reaction was “on behalf of the group and ourselves, I hope we passed the audition.” Great speakers, great moments, great, um, music (Massachusetts going with the Dropkick Murphys!). Mostly, the memo went out to dial down the identity and grievance and emphasize patriotism and joy. Under President Harris, may our nation be just, may our nation be prosperous and, yes, may our nation be lethal.
Joe… please calm down. I think you are confusing what you want the Democratic Party to be, not what it still is. The only Big Thing Bernie Sanders doesn’t despise is Big Government because he’s been feeding off that tit his whole adult life. And the party that put him, a self-avowed socialist who to this day STILL can’t call himself a Democrat, on that stage AGAIN, is not the party for me. Guess I’ll be voting (yuk) Libertarian again.
I don't watch conventions, not without the sound off and Dylan, Simon, Zappa and our other poets on the stereo. But my gut tells me that as trade shows go, the DNC won. If the point is (and it is) to get to swing voters, I think Harris just became the favorite to win in November.
I love Obama but his focus on health care before the economy was a mistake. (Schumer thought so, too.). I hope Harris doesn’t make the same mistake by focusing on Trump and democracy more than the economy. Unfortunately, too few people even think about democracy, alas, but you can bet there are plenty of people who care about high prices. We were once told “it is the economy, stupid.” It still is. Harris’s focus on price gauging in the food industry is an unforced error. There’s not much there there. She needs to focus on the things that can be controlled, like drug prices.
If issues are important this year why did Harris and Walz avoid any mention of them? President Trump listed his accomplishments in his acceptance speech and if that sounds like narcissism I’m voting for four more years of it. The Biden/Harris administration has had no positive accomplishments; it’s been a dumpster fire since the beginning. Harris talks about “on day one” but that was almost four years ago.
If the democrat party is so good for America then why do they and their propaganda media lie about everything? The illegal immigration bill would not shore up the border and control immigration it would have codified the democrats open border policies to allow millions of unvented illegal aliens to flood into the country and putting them on the government dole with benefits better than US citizens hoping to turn them into future democrat voters.
And the democrats always project their own bad behavior onto President Trump. When Trump was in office we had peace, prosperity and a controlled border. The democrats and the lying media call Trump a threat to democracy, when the fact is it is the democrats who are the threat that is working to destroy our country. It is the democrats who have weaponized the DOJ/FBI to go after and jail political opponents from Trump himself, to advisers like Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro, to grandmothers who pray outside of abortion clinics and parents who attend school board meetings to anyone who was let into the Capitol during the Jan. 6 government false flag operation that was designed to entrap them.
The fact-free campaign of Harris/Walz demonstrates a hubris that they don’t think they have to convince the American voter. It’s obvious the democrats are counting on what Joe Biden bragged in 2020 is “the most extensive and inclusive VOTER FRAUD organization in the history of American politics” sprinkled with a few million more illegal immigrants on the voter rolls in 2024. It is the democrats who are the political Devil incarnate. They are the tyrants.
In case you missed it, America’s hideous gun laws, and the excruciating toll they have taken on our citizenry and children, were mentioned. The attack on women’s health was mentioned. Trump’s disdain of allies and admiration of autocrats was mentioned. Trump’s sabotage of immigration control was mentioned. Trump’s continuous insulting of military personnel and mores was mentioned. Tolerance of fellow Americans was brought up once or twice. You may have been too busy brewing up resentments and pointless insults to notice. Your time is past.
Curtis, I’m sorry that this remains all too complicated for your limited intellect:
• America’s gun laws are based on the 2nd amendment. I chose not to nitpick Joe Klein’s ignorant (meaning unknowledgeable) comment that “children were killed by automatic weapons”. That comment is so stupid. Automatic weapons aren’t legal. So what children by which automatic weapons? Can you define what are the “assault rifles” that the democrats demonize? Do you know what the “AR” in AR-15 stands for? I thought not.
• The gun violence in the US is in the democrat run inner cities because LBJ’s failed new society ruined the black family and recreated the plantation in the inner city with their welfare state to as LBJ said would keep the n*gg*rs voting democrat for 200 years
• What attack on women’s health?
• President Trump jawboned NATO slackers to increase their defense investments and is able to negotiate with international adversaries which is far too complicated for guberment bueorocrats and democrat politicians. Can you say Abraham accords?
• Curtis, pay attention, I already splained it to you that only President Trump has provided immigration control. Try to keep up.
• President Trump has supported the military and has never insulted them. That was a lie by John Kelly to fool the most gullible.
The only thing I was busy at was laughing at voters who are so far down on the IQ curve to believe the democrats lies. Thanks for the entertainment Curtis. You just can’t buy this type of entertainment.
In fact, none of the mass killings have been in the inner city, and none have been perpetrated by black kids. So your attempt to force feed your prejudices into a racist narrative are contradicted by the facts. Nor is your attempt to justify tolerance for all this unnecessary tragedy to a misreading of the 2nd Amendment, written when it took a minute to load a single bullet compelling. Finally, I rather doubt that Jesus, were he to return to this time and place, would endorse this ongoing loss and misery. Rather, he would find you and your kind cruel, thoughtless and, well, deplorable.
Curtis you demonstrate that you are still too ignorant to answer any of my questions. I knew you couldn’t identify what are the “assault rifles” that the democrats demonize or what the “AR” in AR-15 stands for. And none of your locations had “automatic weapons” or “assault rifles” so all you have left is the “racist” card. What a loser. The foundation of the 2nd amendment has nothing to do with technology. And pay attention Curtis, Jesus Christ is in this time and place. So what about the other democrat propaganda that you regurgitated and aren’t able to respond to my challenges of fact and logic? Sorry that all of this remains too complicated for your limited intellect.
Neither the many grieving parents nor the great majority of American voters nor I care about your Jesuitical distinction about lethal gins. No other civiled nation has our crazy gun laws - and no other country has the gun deaths we do. You denial of the facts on this and many other issues is the reason Republicans have garnered fewer votes on eight of the last nine elections and seem on a pretty good to lose again come November. And there in nothing your twisted version of Jesus can do about it.
Thanks for providing this; it is a perfect example of the lies pushed on the low-IQ, low-information voters:
• The CBO consistently underestimates the increase in the economy that have been achieved by the Trump tax cuts. But what can you expect; they’re incompetent government bureaucrats like those at the Department of Labor who just admitted that they overstated job growth under the failed Biden presidency by an astonishing 818 million jobs. And Biden’s proposals are to increase taxes allowing the bloated, worthless, corrupt US government to extort more of our hard earned money
• President Trump is not promoting the Republican Study Group’s Project 2025 so that entire comment is irrelevant
• President Trump’s tariffs have been so effective that even the failed Biden presidency has kept them in place. These tariffs, as they have been used for 250 years in the US, create US prosperity and jobs. President Trump, or more accurately the economic genius Peter Navarro’s tariff policies on China were so surgically precise that China paid for them without raising prices to US consumers
• The uneducated, non-English speaking, unskilled illegal aliens that the failed Biden administration has admitted are a greater burden on US citizens than a benefit
It just goes to show that the only people who would consciously vote for the democrat ticket are those benefitting from government grift or those at the bottom of the IQ curve. And RFK Jr. had dropped out of the race and it looks like he’s going endorse President Trump. That will make the democrats heads explode! Kaboom!! You just can’t buy this type of entertainment!!!
Point well taken about bringing back more of the working class/ independents to a Democratic coalition w/o identity politics. But My guess is many delegates and members of the base think it means “not going back” to 45.
I don't watch conventions, not without the sound off and Dylan, Simon, Zappa and our other poets on the stereo. But my gut tells me that as trade shows go, the DNC won. If the point is (and it is) to get to swing voters, I think Harris just became the favorite to win in November.
Yeah, but the poets down here don’t write nothin’ at all, they just stand back and let it all be. And there were some pretty bangin’ numbers between the oratory, think it all worked.
As for Trump, do not confuse the firemen with the fire. As for “not the issues” that is like ‘you can figure out whats in the bill after you sign the bill’…
Amen!!!

Correction: LBJ’s failed GREAT society
Uvalde is not in the inner city.
Columbine is not in the inner city.
Sandy Hook is not in the inner city.
Parkland is not in the inner city.
Virginia Tech is not in the inner city.
In fact, none of the mass killings have been in the inner city, and none have been perpetrated by black kids.

Those are hopes worth achieving, may it be so. The alternative to it is far worse than Trump.
Oh well, the paradox of tolerance me thinks…
”Because issues aren’t very important this year. Because Donald Trump is the political Devil incarnate” … Joy
