I actually tried last night but it's unwatchable.
I did as well. After 5 minutes I gave up and switched over to a rerun of Ice Road Truckers.
I didn't even bother. Watched a little of Blazers/Lakers, Blackhawks/Golden Knights and then switched to Warrior Nun on Netflix.

I've watched every minute, via stream and network broadcast, as well as pundit reactions for several hours afterward overnight.

I'm impressed with the Democrats and now plan to vote for Biden. I think he's the only hope for saving America.

Although it was cool seeing Jill Biden give her speech in my HS. Haven't set foot in there in 35 years, but I immediately knew exactly into which classroom she walked.

Are you still a registered Donk? If so, why? Sounds like you’d be better off as an independent. You can’t expect to use “but I can vote for a less Progtard candidate in the primary” excuse forever. :twocents:

I am, life long registered Donk in fact. CA is one party rule so there is no reason to change registration, plus we have an open primary. November will be my first time voting down ballot R in my life.

Donks couldn't come up with 30 people to clap for Harris.. :lol:
...Since the Democrats can’t have an audience in a convention hall, one of the lame things the Democrats have been adding after people give their speeches is a montage of 30 people clapping individually from wherever they are.

On Wednesday, the Democrats showed just how lacking they are in enthusiasm for Kamala Harris when apparently they weren’t even able to scrape together the 30 people to clap for Harris at the end of her speech. So apparently they duplicated people to fill out the screen, as we reported earlier.

But naturally people busted them on it and it was truly embarrassing. Today, people are really mocking them over it...

Why do Republicans even post stupid stuff like that? There is obviously a pretty high level of Democrat enthusiasm for Harris being on the ticket and it's obvious that they could have found as many people as they wanted to. I don't know what people in the echo chamber think they gain with that sort of nonsense.

She was polling around 6%- in her home state no less, when she dropped out of the donk primary. Didn’t even finish top 10, or even top 15, in the donk primary. The only thing Willie Brown’s mattress has going for her is being a minority woman. That’s it.

If you have been paying attention at all you know her selection juiced enthusiasm. As one indication just Google about the fundraising spike. The idea that they would've had trouble finding 20 or 30 people to put on screens like that is ridiculous. It's more echo chamber stuff. Dumbasses that are going to vote for Trump pass stuff like that among themselves as though they REALLY have something. But they don't.

The impression I'm getting from folks I know in Rust Belt states is that Kamala Harris will be a major drag on a ticket headed by someone that no one really loves in the first place.

Then why not simply do it? The people putting on that production analyze production details as much as you analyze polls, to every last minute detail. If they could have gotten get as many women for their screen full of women as they wanted, why would they decide to instead to obviously duplicate a bunch of them so it looks like they don't have enough women? :dunce:
