As much as they suck.... They're usually right.

Damn! I want a copy of his speech.

[underwaterrhymes]

Maxwell Frost is going places.

[underwaterrhymes]

God, I hope Colin Allred wins.

[beetea]

The "Beat Ted Cruz" chant is glorious.

[underwaterrhymes]

🥺🥺🥺 This panel.

[underwaterrhymes]

Wowwww. The drum line is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[underwaterrhymes]

It’s probably a good thing this is the first night I’m watching live or this would be 50 pages long. Lol.

[pixy0stix]

I love drum lines!

I never thought I'd hear, "to the windoooow to the wall" at a dnc though, lol!

[underwaterrhymes]

Here come The Chicks!

(Or in a minute or so; they were scheduled at 8, but they seem to be a bit behind.)

[erbear]

I can’t stop smiling. This is so fun!

[laterz]

Has anyone actually listened to the lyrics of Born in the USA? It's not an uplifting story.

[pixy0stix]

OMG I LOVE THE CHICKS!

It’s a protest song. I’m actually surprised folks still use it as a patriotic song.

I wonder what percentage of the people joining in on the "Oh" were from MD....

Haha! I’m from Maryland and I did it at home.

[underwaterrhymes]

Okay, this is so great. Kerry Washington is so much fun.

[underwaterrhymes]

Omg. I love this so much. Her nieces. I’m sorry, y’all. I’m basically live streaming my joy. But in posts.

This is pretty interesting on how he's tweaked it through the years, sometimes leaning into the joy, other times the melancholy.

THIS IS SO CUTE!!

[icedcoffee]

I thought someone real big was going to come out when she asked people to get their phones out. LOL

[pixy0stix]

My gawd, how did she get down to the floor and back up in that dress and heels. I'd be stuck for the rest of the night.

[underwaterrhymes]

This takes courage to stand up and admit you were wrong.

[mala]

Who is this officer talking now? I keep getting sidetracked by someone who doesn't know whats going on and needs explanations and I've missed several introductions.

I'm in the same boat. Why is he shouting at us?

He is the sheriff that walked with the protesters at Flint, MI. The police put down their riot gear and joined in.

[erbear]

This is heartbreaking.
