I vote we do virtual conventions moving forward. The lack of a crowd really makes the speeches have more of an impact. And seeing a lot of the speakers from their home states makes it easier for the laymen to connect to it.

I watched Joe's speech this morning and it was really well done. I mean, it's nice to see a leader who cares. I thought the minutes spent on covid and how it didn't need to be this bad were really, really strong.
I teared up when he spoke of George Floyd's daughter. I hope Joe can continue to support young people who are really leading the fight to true racial equality in this country.

I was zoom watching with my BFF last night, so I just went through and liked basically every post from last night.
Brayden and Beau made me cry, JLD made me roll, I squeeeed @ the Currys and Joe sounded like my goddamn President.
I. Am. FUCKING. READY.

This is also one of the first conventions I paid much attention to, and I really appreciated the commentary from all of you here.
I liked the virtual format a lot. The past speeches I've seen seemed like they would have been powerful and energetic if you were in the room, but didn't have the same effect over a TV. These felt more personal, they were able to put together really powerful and well-edited videos. I loved the roll call. It felt more like this was for everyone vs this is for those folks in the hall. I hope it boosts the message to some new voters.
I'm so curious to see what the RNC has in mind.

I can relate. A little. I've run 20 days of training this summer for people across the country. Barefoot, in soft pants, in my family room, wrapped in a fuzzy blanket, with my feet propped up on the coffee table. On many occasions I was the presenter. (No one could see any of the items listed above). It's the best! 🤣🤷♀️🤣

I don't know if I saw this here or on Twitter or if it just randomly popped into my head but I can't stop picturing the RNC as the scene from the Lion King when Scar is singing Be Prepared and the hyenas are just falling all over themselves and saluting their king/dictator.

Checks out. The lyrics are scaringly fitting... I never thought hyenas essential They're crude and unspeakably plain But maybe they've a glimmer of potential If allied to my vision and brain I know that your powers of retention Are as wet as a warthog's backside But thick as you are, pay attention My words are a matter of pride It's clear from your vacant expressions The lights are not all on upstairs But we're talking kings and successions Even you can't be caught unawares So prepare for a chance of a lifetime Be prepared for sensational news A shining new era Is tiptoeing nearer And where do we feature? Just listen to teacher I know it sounds sordid But you'll be rewarded When at last I am given my dues And injustice deliciously squared Be prepared! It's great that we'll soon be connected With a king who'll be all-time adored Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected To take certain duties on board The future is littered with prizes And though I'm the main addressee The point that I must emphasize is You won't get a sniff without me! So prepare for the coup of the century Be prepared for the murkiest scam Meticulous planning Tenacity spanning Decades of denial Is simply why I'll Be king undisputed Respected, saluted And seen for the wonder I am Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared Be prepared! Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared Be prepared!
