Every speech, every prepared video

It's like gutting me

the news channels are airing hours of this convention without the usual constant interruption by pundants because theyve got just one compelling speech after another

Because you're in a particularly vulnerable emotional state at the moment.

Absolutely tearing Trump apart is shooting themselves in the foot? I was actually rather impressed with the speeches I saw. It was a step above what they usually do.

Yes, but most of them didn't just break up with a long-term partner not that long after a beloved pet died, while still in recovery from alcoholism.

Jen's psyche is pretty much held together by duct tape at this point. When you're that punch-drunk almost anything can cut deep because all your nerves are already raw.

The DNC is desperate, they know that defeat is inevitable. Should've propped heavy hitters that can beat Trump (Sanders, Gabbard, Yang) instead of snoresville that is Biden.

I wouldn't think that if you're that compelled emotionally by the speeches at the DNC, or by speeches done by democratic politicians.

I get it thats it ok to be inspired by certain people such as Bernie Sanders, who we all know is a genuine good guy on capital hill, but you shouldn't be inspired by the anything that the DNC promotes, especially after they rigged the election against Bernie two times already.

Also, that speech with the stuttering kid is just an attempt to goad you into having an emotional response. Classic marketing tactics.

Although I can agree that Trump needs to be voted out this election, just keep in mind that the democrat party is corrupt when voting for them.

Most votes in the primary. Unfortunately, like nobody votes in primaries. Hell in some districts you have to be a registered member of the party to even vote there.

People are slowly going to the side of Trump, reluctantly in many cases, face it no one wants Biden and the hate for the DNC is rising.

Trump isn't doing anything to get people to side with him, he just keep pushing people away.

And just because you find new reasons to hate the DNC doesn't mean everyone else does, no basis for that claim.

Getting people in your party to support you and getting independents/third party voters/undecided voters to support you are 2 different things, and getting the middle to support you is more important

Everything about what you guys say about [you know] is hilarious because I'm the only one who bothered to read the posts from the source itself.

Literally everyone on this board insulting it hasn't read anything beyond what they're told. Even I question the stuff after having read it, but the sheep who Baa! at the stuff they haven't even dug into themselves are my least favorite people.

There's nothing wrong with affiliating with a certain party and defending another.

I'm conservative Republican, yes I would happily vote Bernie or Joe Biden over Trump

I think the world's fixation with labels, compartmentalization, and perpetual [states] of victimhood is insane.

When I try to talk about things like love, laws, and justice, people on this board go insane that I think we're deserving of such things.

If you think I'm defending Republicans, maybe it's your embarrassment over/attachment to the left causing your ego to implode?

The split party system is the same coin being flipped and both are worthy of being called out on their bullshit.

Yang couldn't even buy his way into winning a single primary, the idea that he'd somehow beat Trump is laughable. I kinda like Gabbard, but she would have been fodder as well. And Bernie Sanders wouldn't stand a chance. Frankly, out of everybody there, Biden had the best chance... but then he took the DNC's pick of Kamala Harris as his VP, and as a result may have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory >_> Because it seemed like he had this shit.

Bernie Sanders, who we all know is a genuine good guy on capital hill,

He's not, he's an opportunistic piece of shit with no compass. He only joined the Dems to run for president TWICE now (leaving the party in-between) because everything is about him.

They didn't.

He was almost certainly reading off teleprompters, which doesn't exactly require memory.

Thanks to social distancing, it's a lot easier to run and manage because you have the ability to edit, etc. NPR's segment the other night was discussing how heavily produced the whole thing was. In general, I don't bother with the conventions as much (because you're basically just hearing speechwriters), but this year is particularly bad in that regard. It's really things like debates and history that give a more clear measure of a politician.
