I like how the democrats are taking back our flag, USA chants, and the idea of freedom.
Fuck those MAGA assholes. We need to take back the snek flag, too.

not just that; democrats are taking back morning in america.
I want a red hat with white Harris/Walz text on it.
Those MAGA fuckers dont own red hats either!
Sorry for the late post, had a bunch of stuff going on today!
I watched the entire DNC, all 4 nights. I didn’t explicitly mean to, but it was so engrossing and informative. The old guard has finally passed the torch and there were so many killer moments that my enthusiasm has surpassed even Obama 08 levels. I am signing up to do some phone banking at least. I’ve not done it before but the website said they will train us so I’m stepping out of my comfort zone. I’m in a red state but nothing is impossible unless we just don’t try.
I did phone banking for Obama and it was... interesting. We're a vote by mail state and they had us calling the reddest part of the state after the mailing deadline to remind people "Hey, it's too late to mail your ballot, if you still want to vote, we can tell you where your local drop off location is."
People were REALLY angry! Legally, we had to open with "I'm calling on behalf of the Barack Obama campaign..."
"I AINT VOTIN' FOR OBAMA!"
"That's fine, that's not why I'm calling. It looks like you haven't turned in your ballot yet and we just wanted to remind you, if you still want to vote, it's too late to mail it. Do you need a list of ballot drop off locations?"
"Oh."
Massachusetts stronk.
14 comments under this post, and I can only see 2 lmao.
Seems like the Division Brigade is hard at work.
I just finally blocked the source of most of it. Wow, that guy's active.
Who is it? It's up to 31 comments now, is it just one ass hat?
Let’s just say that one notable account continues to return2 bad arguments, bad-faith accusations, terrible jumps in logic, and both-sides-bad complaints.
Oh, the poll guy, lol. I blocked him months ago.
As one who values their sanity should. (I clearly do not)
I can think of half a dozen users off the top of my head parroting identical wedge-driving talking-points almost verbatim to the point I often wonder if they're all the same person.
4/17 for me
edit: Oh. Yeah, we're missing some fun stuff.
That was an amazing speech!
#VOTE!!
Holy shit! Luke Skywalker is in the house!!
Great job by Madam Vice President soon to be President.
I only watched Harris's speech.
The good:
I was impressed by her oratory skills. I remember her doing well in the debates in 2020, but I didn't know she could deliver a speech like that.
The biographical stuff was good. (And necessary. She has a complicated backstory, and despite being VP, Americans barely know much about her.) I see we're still avoiding any mention of Canada, but that's probably for the best.
She looked like a president up there.
The bad:
I was put off by the jingoism. I guess Democrats are war hawks now. That's where we are in 2024.
Between all the "defend Israel" and "stop Iran", I was not filled with any confidence that she'll rein in Netanyahu on Gaza.
I think she does come off as someone with human empathy, at the least. If that's actually true, there may be hope.
Love me some Ted Lieu!
I am still not the biggest fan of Kamala (she did a lot of good work but she was still basically a cop) but she is kicking massive amounts of ass. Hitting all the high notes and making it clear she is perfectly willing to "go low".
It is just so fucking refreshing after decades of Democrats talking around issues and evil and... Kamala is straight up talking about how this is about basic human rights and that trump led a violent insurrection.
[edit] And yup. there we go. Lock down that border! Still hopeful that the immigration reforms actually come through but... cops gonna cop[/edit]
If the dems run the table the fillabuster can be ended, and the Supreme Court can be expanded and fixed.
They will do a real border bill not the draconian one.

This has been a pretty remarkable piece of marketing, and communication of Democratic ideals from a party who has seemed to struggle with that pretty much as far back as I can remember.
That's a wrap for this cycle! Thanks for taking part everybody! See you in 2028! ;)
