A Tale of Two Conventions

Swaye

I watched some of the DNC convention, and some of the RNC last night. Independent of your political philosophy, anyone else struck by the general tone differences? The GOP (last night anyway) seemed to be a message of opportunity. The DNC was full of grievance. One group says America is great and can be better. The other says America is deeply flawed and needs complete cleansing. The contrast is sharp and clear.

Well put. That is exactly the perspective I had. One uplifting and counting on people to take advantage of what the country has provided each of us and the other telling everyone they are a victim, that the country is horribly flawed and that big government has the answer to everything.

A 4 year politician/businessman who did his part to widen the possibilities for all Americans and truly believes in the greatness of this country and the other a very flawed and failed, lifetime 47 year establishment politician who is too afraid to come out of his basement and is not very proud of this country that has given him so much. 47 years and this is his perspective. Pretty sad.

Says a lot more about how this guy thinks about Black* people than it does anything else. It’s like the Lincoln Project yesterday with the Tweet they deleted about hearing “monkey” instead of “Spygate” when Trump was talking about Obama and spying. Malcolm X was correct about white liberals. They still think they own Black* people and patronize the entire group based solely on skin color. They aren’t diverse according to Joe Biden, and that’s their top of ticket. The blatant racism is obvious yet white liberals love it.

Probably why you're successful and love life. Compare you to posters like H, IC and Bears and you'll see the same contrast.

Americans like winners.

Trump 34-17.

Or the hyper-insecure hollyweid types who will never be happy no matter who they're sleeping with or how much money they have.
