A Tale of Two Conventions
Comments

It's so much easier to put on a good convention when you don't have to try and lie and mislead people on who you really are.Swaye said: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.

You purposely singled out the one speaker who did poorly in order to paint with a broad brush.GreenRiverGatorz said:I didn't watch any of the @dnc because they're a bunch of bullies, so if you're telling me it was all doom and gloom then I'll have to take your word for it.
But I did tune in last night. And outside of Scott and Haley, who were pretty well measured, I felt like I was watching the opening ceremonies of an insurrection. Guilfoyle in particular was batshit insane throughout her entire speech. -
That's mass market politics, baby.DerekJohnson said:

I actually liked her she did her speech like the crowd would have been there. She would have had them riled up multiple times.

She has a pretty nice rack. So there's that. -
The dems look like their women were just in a Lesbian manhood bus crash!

Ok was. Can't believe she would marry Newsom. Speaks poorly for her -

Fucking Rats claimed that if Trump was re-elected it would be the end of our democracy. But that wasn't dark.RaceBannon said:Well I was right. Dark and divisive

Damn, Swaye, that is a perfect take.Swaye said:
That's a fair statement. To me, it's one thing to say "hey we got problems but Trump is the root of them," and it's another to imply "America is fundamentally unfair and broken and out to screw you." I think they say a bunch of both, or that is the feeling I got watching it. YMMV.HuskyJW said:
With all due respect....what else would it be?Swaye said:I watched some of the DNC convention, and some of the RNC last night.

Why would the DNC say everything is great with a Republican as President?
The first part I expect to hear, but the second part is one of the big reasons I am so turned off on modern Democrats. It feels like they think America is some shithole failure that needs to be blown up, as opposed to a a generally good but flawed country that with little tweaks can be made better. I feel liek the GOP messaging is "America kicks ass and with just a few tweaks we can really make this place perfect," whereas I feel like modern Dems think "fuck this place it's all fucked up let's blow it all up and start over." Again, my read may be colored because I HATE social justice and division politics, which the Dems have been peddling harder than ever the last 4 years. -

Dammmmmnnnnnn Daniel.
Cameron is fucking killing it. -
Daniel Cameron’s speech reminded me a lot of Obama’s speech in 2004 ... clearly a rising star in the Republican Party

Who?

Great speech by Cameron.

Awesome
Was he on the stage at the same time as the white couple....whose sole purpose was because they waved guns at black people or was that a different night? -
Appears to have caused someone to rape a little strawman ass. I said it was a great speech, I didn't say that it changed anyone's vote. But please return to your strawman's bung-hole.HuskyJW said:Awesome
Sure it changed a lot of votes -
