Quick observations on the convention
Feels like we are on the cusp of making history!!! About time.
Politics is about more than demands, programs, and correct analysis and positions. As we are seeing at the Democratic Party Convention, it’s also about feelings, hopes, desires, hoopla, good vibes, and more.
Steve Kerr was awesome!!!
Michelle Obama is such a compelling and masterful speaker; few are better! Her speech tonight was simply brilliant. She outdid her husband, which isn’t easy to do.
Senator Raphael Warnock is preaching the people’s gospel. Hallelujha, I say!
A well deserved tribute to Jesse Jackson. To say he earned it would constitute a serious understatement!
Shawn Fain’s speech was one of a kind. And yet it was only one expression of the presence of labor at the DNC. And here I include the heartfelt and impassioned remarks of President Biden in support of the labor movement.
AOC is rocking the house!!! She combines inspiration of the heart with clarity of message!
Hillary made a powerful speech that focused laser-like on the existential imperative to defeat Trump and other MAGA candidates in November at the ballot box. She didn’t pull any punches, while inspiring the delegates.
If you want evidence that the center of gravity of the Democratic Party has moved in a progressive direction, look no further than the 1st night of the party’s convention —- its speakers, its delegates, its politics. And there is more to come.
The convention and the emerging movement around the candidacy of Kamala Harris should give us all hope and energy.
Stevie Wonder speaking at convention and urging us to vote and reach higher ground. Now he is singing and playing “Higher Ground.” What a unique and incredible human being!
The Coach was cookin and coachin tonight!!!
