Day 1 was a barn burner. I personally think Day 2 was fine, but not to the same level. We’ll see where day 3 takes us!
Scheduled speakers:
"As is customary, Harris’s running mate will take to the podium on day three.
Tim Walz will formally accept the party’s nomination just 15 days after he was unveiled as Harris’s pick, completing his whirlwind rise to international fame.
The day’s other high-profile speakers will include 42nd president Bill Clinton, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
Former VP hopefuls Transport Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro will also take to th stage, along with Maryland Governor Wes Moore, Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy and Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar.
Another Republican, Georgia Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan, is set to join the speaking roster."

She literally had a chance to speak, man she getting worried they gonna cancel her?
She’s not Palestinian American and is asking for someone who is to have a chance to speak. AOC gave her speech Monday night when negotiations between the uncommitted delegates and Harris campaign for a Palestinian American speaker were still ongoing, but those talks broke down Wednesday.
So this morning I saw the difference in the roll call for the RNC vs. DNC.
RNC: lifeless, drab, and such low energy it was like a funeral.
DNC: that was a full bore party from beginning to end.
The playlist for the roll call was pretty interesting.
What was truly interesting was how the DNC had permission to use all those songs, while the RNC and Trump absolutely did not, and artists are constantly demanding he never use theirs.
I did not expect my state to pick Modest Mouse… I’d have gone with Everclear:
I’m glad Massachusets chose Dropkick Murpheys though.
Let us hope that Bill Clinton’s participation will be limited to playing a short song on the saxophone and then walking off stage.
The less visibility the DNC has with anyone associated with Epstein, the better.
Sax Honk. Lip bite. Gentle thumbs-up pump. Walks off.
God I picked a shit time to tune in. They should have gone with the sax.
He read this comment and tripled the length of his speech.
Please let this be the end of the Clinton dynasty. Just F OFF already!
OK, real talk… What dynasty?
No seriously, what fucking dynasty?
Bill Clinton was president. Hillary Clinton - who is not his descendant and has her own successes from before and after his presidency - has every right to her own career. Their daughter has shown no interest in becoming a politician.
So… what dynasty? Where are the multiple generations of Clinton politicians dominating some aspect of American life? Is there also an Obama dynasty, consisting solely of Barack and Michelle Obama? Their kids don’t seem interested in politics right now, either.
You’re not angry because Hillary Clinton has her own career and ambitions, are you? Because telling the “Clinton dynasty” to “F OFF” sure seems like you’re just angry at a “dynasty” of a single married couple.
Hillary should forever be clowned on. She literally gave the world a Trump presidency. Her ego got us into this mess.
By winning the party’s nomination and running for president? The fact that she failed to beat Trump doesn’t mean she didn’t try.
Or wait… Are you one of those conspiracy theorists who thinks the DNC stole the nomination from Bernie? Bernie supporters stole the nomination from Bernie - and I say that as someone who freaking loves Bernie Sanders and voted for him in the primaries. With all the loud, public demonstrations they did in 2016, you know what they didn’t do? They didn’t 1) fucking register as Democrats, and 2) fucking vote in the primaries. Clinton won the primaries in a landslide.
I have a good friend who worked for the Democratic party in Oregon. He strongly supported Bernie, too. But somehow, all his pleas to his fellow Bernie-or-bust types to actually register as Democrats for Oregon’s closed primaries fell on deaf ears. They preferred to march in the streets instead of march to the ballot dropbox and make a fucking difference.
The Democratic establishment blocked him. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-sZr4_xtP3/
Oh, so the Democratic establishment stopped Bernie supporters from voting in Democratic primaries? No? And your response was a non sequitur?
You forget who controls and owns both parties? https://youtu.be/3ZhkKATtqtU
Here’s how this conversation has gone so far:
- You: Clinton dynasty!
- Me: One generation consisting of two people who aren’t even related isn’t a dynasty.
- You: (Topic change) Fuck responding to your point, I’m just here to hate on Clinton cheating her way into the nomination and giving us Trump!
- Me: She didn’t give us Trump, and you sound like a conspiracy theorist. Clinton didn’t cheat, she literally just got way more votes in the 2016 primaries because her voters showed up and Bernie’s didn’t.
- You: (Topic change) Fuck responding to your point, here’s an Instagram post that pushes my favorite conspiracy theories about the DNC, none of which acknowledge that Clinton’s voters turned up and Bernie’s didn’t!
- Me: Just gonna point out that the DNC didn’t stop Bernie’s supporters from voting.
- You: (Topic change) I said, fuck responding to your point, here’s a random video from some guy arguing that both parties are the same!
Since that’s how this has gone, here’s my last response on this thread:
- Me: Why hasn’t literally everyone blocked this guy yet? Well, I guess I’ll do my part.
I cordially invite you to reassess how you interact with people, but you’ve lost the opportunity to do that with me. Bye.
The Democratic party stopped a non-Democrat from getting their nomination?
Holy fucking shit! Crime of the century! How DARE the Democratic party ensure a Democrat was the Democratic party’s nominee for President!
Independent. Not Democrat. The Democrats throw him bones because he caucuses with them.
I guarantee you didn’t vote for her. You’re the reason Trump exists
I’m not a Democrat nor Republican. I live in Los Angeles. I don’t vote for warmongers. I’m proud that I morally did not vote for Hillary.
Hillary gave the world a Trump presidency!
Well what did you do to stop a Trump presidency?
Fucking nothing and I’m proud of it!
I’m in California. Didn’t matter who I voted for
Sounds like Hillary did more to stop a Trump presidency than you’d suggest.
It’s too bad Berniebros love Bernie so much that when he endorsed Clinton they couldn’t even be bothered to listen to him.

Removed, civility.
Ryan Grim and Medhi Hassan confirm:
The DNC has told the Uncommitted delegates that no Palestinian will be allowed to speak from the stage, even with a vetted speech
Just like when they shut out Bernie.
The Bernie Blackout
The party will pretend Palestinians don’t exist until they actually don’t exist.

People will find a reason to not vote Democrat until the party no longer exists
And as always, the assumption that any objection to genocide means a childish refusal to vote.
Have you considered that the Israeli propaganda apparatus is powerful enough to give the election to Trump, given a flick of a switch?
We have to continue supporting genocide because you’ve bought the bigoted conspiracy theory that The Jews control everything? Congratulations on the single worst possible excuse for supporting genocide. Please, no one come up with a worse one.
Every one of you silly fucks need to sit down and shut the fuck up
Centrism has no other message. None.
LMFAO deleting the comment only proves the point, and your butchery of my comment is the icing
Since they deleted it, I very specifically said “until after the Democrats are elected”.
Because if these people really thought the Republicans were going to listen, they would have protested at the RNC. Did they protest at the RNC?
Also, Using the killnet
Also, one link Could bring more simple ones
You say one bad thing against Israel, and now Im the bot, huh? Maybe use some foresight? Maybe hurting the Democrats is literally hurting yourselves? If Trump wins, I’m not thinking of Gazans. I’m thinking of you. Of all those people on campuses and storming the DNC of all fucking places to wipe their asses, instead of getting with the program so their voices can be heard like everyone else.
Since they deleted it, I very specifically said “until after the Democrats are elected”.
We both know centrists’ insistence on silence won’t end there or ever.

You don’t care if Democrats win; you just want someone to blame for any losses.
It is so fucking weird to be listening to politicians while playing video games and being more annoyed by them being “cringe” than terrified over living in Gillead come February.
Let’s keep it fucking going.
Bill: I’ve been every one of these since '76…no…'72, lord I’m getting old.
Lol

Chris Cuomo actually doing real journalism tonight at the DNC: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-9ZjCKgRro/
I highly, highly encourage everyone to watch the film Bulworth.
California Senator has a breakdown, hires someone to kill himself, but before that happens…

The Obamas are going to be tough act to follow. Last night was a reminder that their writing / public speaking skills are on another level. I’m not surprised they’re producers know. They know how to tell a compelling story.
They were good, but I still think Clinton and Warnock from the day prior were the superstars.
BREAKING: Uncommitted delegates stage PROTEST sit-in outside of United Center on Night 3 of the DNC asking for a Palestinian-Americans to be allowed to speak from the stage.
Playing catch up, I was out running errands. I heard most of Jeffries, some of Clinton and Oprah and all of Walz.
What do you think were the highlights? I didn’t see Clinton, but he sounded rough!
Walz was the highlight I thought. He really is a great speaker. There wasn’t one wasted word in the speech, and the way his kids were so damn happy for him really highlighted the key difference between the two sides.
Jeffries was also pretty great.
Hard to imagine not tearing up watching Gus Walz. When he stood up crying and said, “That’s my dad!” it hit me right in my dad brain.
Yes, I’m not even a dad, but it hit me too.
I’m not sure what made me feel older, how rough he sounded, or him dropping a self-deprecating McDonald’s joke. Talk about a throwback.
Oprah said she’s a registered independent.
