Absolutely. And the saddest thing about it: their strategy was working out perfectly. Trump lost a lot of ground in his must-win state of Florida specifically because the elderly turned on him (only a little bit, but FL is a state where every tiny bit of margin matters). They also managed to reduce his edge in the rust belt swing states a little bit, they were around 2.8% to the right of the nation in 2016, current polling shows them around 1.8% to the right. Coupled with Biden's large lead in the polls, this should have been enough of a cushion.

DNC = Does not compute.

N pics!

I just followed it on Twitter but seemed like a good night, apart from the inevitable awkwardness of not having it in person. They focused on Trump's failure to address COVID and racial justice, appealed to both progressives and disgruntled Republicans, then Michelle Obama had a quite moving speech where she said what many people are feeling. Trump just isn't up to the job. Funny that she used "it is what it is", taking Trump's ridiculous line on COVID deaths.

Making the election a referendum on Donald Trump is clearly the right play. Not the way Hillary did it with the endless focus on his horrible character, but rather focusing on his failures as president.

Also, this seems tough for people here to understand... the DNC isn't trying to appeal to Trump cultists. If you guys watch and think the message is appealing, they're doing it wrong.

3 more days of this awkward ‘convention’

looks like the people most interested in the show were our resident cultists hate-watching it, lol.

the awkward clips are all over twitter and youtube. no one needs to watch it live.

by your own failed logic you’ve been “hate-watching” President Trump everyday for 3.5 years now, wierdo foreign voyeur

e: reported, btw

I heard it was a big, awkward fail.

Thanks Obama

i heard 1 for 48 Kasich (D) gave a speech. did you know he is the son of a mailman? i’m sure his speech centered on the honorable work of his father (just like all his speeches, which feature nothing of his own accomplishments because there are none) and nothing about current events lmfao
