2024 Elections

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

They guy is much sleazier than most would think. Not that he can't back anybody he wants, but a week ago he was trying to trade a Kamala endorsement for a job with her. At this point, it's hard to believe that his endorsement would mean much. First, because he's a "protest" vote for anybody except maybe the anti-vax crowd, and secondly because his group was already largely anti-Trump. If he's not available to vote for, his potential voters are as likely to sit out or go to Kamala as to Trump.

I don't think I've ever watched so much of a convention. It's at least been decades.

Best speaker selection and best speakers I've ever seen at a convention. I dunno who wrote the speeches coached the speakers, but everybody was excellent in content and delivery.
We're not the only ones:

DNC 2024 Night 2 Viewership Crushes RNC Numbers, Draws Over 20 Million Viewers
The second night of the 2024 Democratic National Convention saw a massive audience of 20.57 million, significantly surpassing the 14.81 million viewers who tuned in for the second night of the Republican National Convention.

In retrospect despite my giddiness, not having a big celeb guest was probably the right call. The attention should have been on Kamala and the RWNJ backlash would have been huge and what we'd be talking about today.

BTW, Pink and her daughter were terrific.

Yep, no Palestinian voice. A smattering of speakers took the "radical" position of calling for an immediate ceasefire, but I didn't hear one person suggest an arms embargo, not one :angry-banghead:
