That guy's a Republican who doesn't mind abortion and hates Trump. I should hope he was happy, given that the entire night was focused on appealing to people like him. I guess we'll see how many of these people there are, come November.
Personally, the past 24-36 hours have eliminated all of the enthusiasm I had for this campaign over the past month. They featured a Q Anon Sherrif, Republican politicians, and a CIA Director quoting Ronald Reagan. But I can tell you the exact moment coconut-pilled brat summer ended for me. It's when Kamala promised "the most lethal military the world has ever seen", followed by chants of "USA! USA!"
I hope she wins and I think she will, but we're headed into a dark future no matter what, I'm afraid
Obama said he couldn't afford to look soft on terrorism as a 'liberal president,' but that he 'took no joy' in ordering people killed
Obama in his new book discussed his deep ambivalence over the killings he ordered while president as part of counterterrorism operations.
Something to look out for if Kamala becomes the President: absolute scumbags will be in her ear telling her the first woman President can't look "weak". Begging her to invade Iran or something so Greg Gutfield doesn't call her a pussy on The Five.

Putin is a War Criminal
If there is one thing about a Kamala presidency that I am least worried about, it is her caving to right wing voices trying to get in her ear or up her ass. I am perfectly confident that Kamala Harris is going to be her own woman and do what she believes is right, irrespective of what people tell her she "must" do. I certainly hope she listens to her advisors, but that doesn't mean she needs to cave to them. I am looking forward to this.
Added:
Well, the past 24 to 36 hours have probably doubled my enthusiasm, so I guess we cancel each other out. Since we're both going to vote for her (I assume), I guess it doesn't really matter much in the grand scheme of things. I would wager, however, that there are many more people that have been enthused by the last few days than depressed. All things considered, I thought it was a very good convention and almost the opposite of the Republican one. However, for me, they made one very big unforced error that was foolish and unnecessary, but sadly not a big surprise.

The not inviting Palestinians to speak thing? I don't get you all on this one. It's a political convention, not an debate on foreign policy. Especially in this instance when no one knows what KH's position is going to be. The DNC certainly was not the moment for KH to speak to the issue nor to let others speak to it for her. That moment will come. Once she gets JB to agree to toe the line.
Me too. I'm bummed there's not a fifth night. It was good tv.

This Bush Era war criminal agrees with you guys!
I thought the other nights were fine. But that final night was like a 90's Republican Convention. Extremely conservative (derogatory). Kamala's speech could've been given by Wesley Clark in 2004. It's like the last 20 years didn't happen.
Besides all the saber rattling, the Rightward turn on immigration over the past 4 years has been pretty frightening.
There wasn't going to be a debate. A Palestinian-American State Representative from Georgia wanted to give a nice speech where she endorsed Kamala.
The DNC was very clear: we do not want to hear from any Palestinian Americans. Shut the fuck up while Joe slaughters your relatives and lies about it. Idiotic move, especially with colleges coming back into session.
We didn't know before her speech. Now we do. She's spouting the same lies Joe does about the crimes against humanity they're facilitating. Incredibly disappointing.

Her speech Thursday night won't shake off the pessimism among the marginalized antiwar flank

Before last night, I felt bad for Kamala. Because Joe's the one who put this albatross around her neck. But she had an opportunity to at least lightly distance herself from her war criminal boss and chose not to.
In 100 years, nobody will remember Kamala's speech. But they'll probably have this clip from the DNC playing in the Palestinian Holocaust Museum:

It would be nice if our "Left" political party could point out to voters that inviting refugees into America is so beneficial, it's basically an infinite money glitch.
The ROI on putting a migrant up in a hotel until they can get a job and on their feet is better than any tax cut in history. The only reason to be against accepting more migrants is if you hate brown people more than you like money

This is a very good interview of Letitia James from over the weekend by Jen Psaki. I do love this woman (both, but I refer to James) And I truly believe that when she is done being attorney general of New York, she should become the mayor of New York City.

Young Palestinian creator who shared glimpses of daily life during war dies
Medo Halimy, a 19-year-old creator who documented personal, day-in-the-life vlogs from his “tent life,” died after an Israeli airstrike put him in a coma.
www.nbcnews.com
This isn't the worst story from the last 11 months. After all, I've grown used to seeing the inside of toddlers' skulls at this point. But I found this pretty heartbreaking. Medo was an incredibly normal teenager. Pretty much everyone has a brother, cousin, or child like him.
Nice, decent kid with hopes and dreams. Snuffed out by American weapons, paid for by American taxpayers.
