A nice, concise summation of the Democratic Convention! I loved every minute that I got to see and feel like watching it all over again in all my 70+ years, I don't think I've watched a convention so intently. High hopes for the future, but now its time to work!

Also said of speakers: wow Wes Moore would make a great future president. Dems have a deep bench.

Whomever organized this didn't get paid enough. The roll call vote was amazing.

FITZ always "more clearly" sees a lot of stuff on a lot of topics. Thus, my single word of comment: YES. Now, it's up to us ... the "US" in USA. Stop just talking and "DO Something!" Bring the JOY back to our Allegiance to Our Flag and "To The Republic For Which It Stands" ... and, you know the rest! Now, believe it! We are "We, The People!" and we have 76 days to accomplish this deed. Ready, Set, GO!

I love all of these probably too much. They made me giggle.

We the people can do this cause we’re “not going back!”. Vote.. vote…vote for Harris & Walz! And Ruben Gallego!

Of course Fitz nailed it as usual in his inimitable antic way. The love fest in the United Center was energizing and encouraging. With a glaring exception: The continuing Gaza genocide that only we can end, as "we" are providing the weapons: Only 2 mentions or near-mentions (that I'm aware of).

Coverage of the Stop Arming Israel banner moment during President Biden's speech: 2? (only Democracy Now! & YouTube, that I'm aware of).

PLUS..... Correct points made by Bernie: 100% (Including " ... We must end this horrific war in Gaza, bring home the hostages and demand an immediate cease-fire, ... ")

I'm Jewish and I approved this message.
