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."

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.
He read this comment and tripled the length of his speech.
God I picked a shit time to tune in. They should have gone with the sax.
Bill: I’ve been every one of these since '76…no…'72, lord I’m getting old.
Lol
72, 76, 80, 84, 88, 92, 96,
00, 04, 08, 12, 16, 20, 2414 conventions. 52 years.
This just in, 4 Federal Indictments on Hakeem Jeffries for killing it.
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.
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.
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.
I like listening to Pete Bootyjudge
Are we getting a Day 4 thread?
Yeah, I’ve been busy today, getting it going now!
