James DiEugenio Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Why would you have the Clintons, both of them, speaking. And no Bernie. As far as I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I especially appreciated his anti-bigotry commentaries during the Black Lives Matter protests. Perhaps the guy should run for public office, but he'd probably be happier (and more prosperous) sticking with coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James DiEugenio Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 (edited) I have to say overall it was pretty good. I thought Warnocke was quite effectivel AOC was good. Crockett was on the ball. But some news I got from Florida was startling. Harris in only five points back of Trump. Holy Moly. If that is true then Harris has five states in play in the south: Maryland,Virginia, N. Carolina, Florida. Georgia. That is good because it means Trump and Vance are going to spend lots of time down there. Defending their base.

Georgia. that is good because it mean Trump and Vance are going to spend lot of time down there. Defending their base. Obama won Florida and North Carolina, if I recall correctly. But Republicans in the South have been aggressively implementing voter suppression measures, especially after Clarence Thomas and the SCROTUS blocked enforcement of the Voting Rights Act with their 5-4 Shelby v. Holder ruling. Democrats had to stand in line for hours in Georgia to vote Trump out of office in 2020.

James DiEugenio Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 (edited) I recall that. I also think they passed a law where you could not give someone standing in line a bottle of water. If Harris wins, this should be near the top of her agenda. PS I think I made a mistake, Sanders is scheduled for today.

Denny Zartman Posted Tuesday at 10:28 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:28 PM I enjoyed watching the first night of the convention yesterday. I've been watching conventions since the '80's. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to go to the 1988 convention. This one had a good start. I'm looking forward to tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James DiEugenio Posted Wednesday at 05:19 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:19 AM When you can have the Obamas at the convention, while you go to Milwaukee and pack the basketball auditorium where Trump was just at? Plus raise 510 million in a month? BTW, I don't think all that is for Harris. I think a lot of it is anti Trump, plus the fact that many hesitant donors are now throwing their money in because they think that, unlike Biden, Harris can win. PS. I have to say I don't like the veritable wall that Pritzker and Peters built around the site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
