Kamala Harris will accept the nomination tonight. She'll be her own best champion. I'm already on board.

Update: Kamala Harris nailed it. She took on unity, the border, the Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, respect for our military, Nato, Iran, individual freedom, the housing shortage and everything else in the kitchen sink. She called out Trump (no need to rehash that). Her delivery was impeccable: passionate, measured, joyous with a "but don't cross me" undertone.

A transcript of her speech is here.[More...]

Also speaking Thursday night: Four of the five men formerly known as the "Central Park Five", now referred to as "The Exonerated Five" to whom Donald Trump has yet to apologize for the ad he took out calling the death penalty before they were convicted.

[They] said that what Mr. Trump did to them was devastating and proves that he is too callous and dangerous to serve a second term as president.
Mr. Wise, who served more than 13 years in prison, the longest term among the group, told the convention crowd that the men’s youth had been stolen from them and they faced the screams of adults as they entered court each day because of Mr. Trump’s actions.

She did not talk about any of the important issues, like sharks, electric boats, Hannibal Lecter, etc. I am back to being undecided!
Sorry, I just watched a clip of an "undecided voter" saying, he was voting for the Orange Crimesicle because Kamala did not discuss her policies in depth last night.

Kamala Harris was amazing last night. This Indian woman was filled with pride.

for that comment. I was wondering about the thoughts of the Indian/South Asian community.

no different than any other community. Unfortunately, we have our fair share of MAGA worshippers and Vivek Ramaswamy supporters.
I haven't heard/seen much support for Nikki Haley. Hmm, I wonder why?!

erased Vivek from my memory until you mentioned him. LOL. You could easily see that Nikki Haley despised that guy and if she could have gotten away with it would have stabbed him with her high heels.

she never mentioned the historic aspect of this. The first woman. That's an interesting choice.

Did she? I don't remember it.

"Ain't I a woman?" would've been cool.

I was living in NYC when that happened. I held the full page Times ad. And kept it for a longtime.

Of all the sh!tty things he has done that is still the worst. The most craven. That he has still to this day not admitted he was wrong should be hung around his neck.

I've tried to tell this story to many MAGATs. Because it effected me. They refuse to believe it. Fake news BS.

It was great to include them.

verifiable bad thing Trump has done is met with "fake news" from the cult.

I was cruise'n the news channels last night and stopped for a minute at NewsMax. The above sentence was their chyron during last nights DNC.

I'm starting to understand the stupidity of the MAGA crowd.

or so I read, is saying that reporting that polls show Harris leading is election interference.

But it was ok when Trump was leading. Because, well, Trump was leading.

You are right. It's not a mystery why half the country lives down a rabbit hole

Newsmax host says polls showing Kamala Harris in the lead are "almost like election meddling"
Rob Schmitt: "I think that when you put a poll out there that makes it look like Kamala is doing well, it creates the idea in a lot of people's minds that aren't intelligent enough to think for themselves"

Like RFK suddenly seeing the light and campaigning with Trump in Arizona.

is one thing, that their thinking is actually influenced by that swine beggers belief.
