Stevie Wonder is going perform!!! And they're going to have Kenan Thompson speaking on Project 2025 after that!

I’m having a hard time hearing from the republicans who are voting for Kamala, who are to blame for putting that man in the White House in the first place. Applause for finally realizing how wrong you were? I guess.

Yeah, like one of Trumps press secretaries? GTFO.

I like that they're bringing on these former staffers. It shows that it's actually okay to make the shift. People can indeed leave the cult, and the more Democrats can embrace them, the better off we all are.

The MAGAts have found a community they feel belonging in. We have to be okay with some of them figuring it out and make space for them.

I just tuned in. Bill Clinton is on. He is not dynamic so happy to see he is on early. I’m excited for Amanda Gorman.

[icedcoffee]

Bill started off slow but got better. He’s no Obama though. 😂

Hillary is legit wondering how he got to be president and she didn’t. Also please quit calling her camel-a!

[heat40]

He wasn’t as sharp, but you could see the old Clinton every now and then with his zingers. For those old enough, made you remember the skill he had back in the day.

I loved Hakeem Jeffries, Shapiro is not afraid of the mic lol. And I’m ok seeing republicans there. We can’t do this alone, and for those still not willing to commit, being convinced by one of their own does way more than being convinced by the team they were always against anyway.

Oprah can start off by saying she was wrong to inflict Oz on us.

[noodleoo]

I’m behind but I just watched Doug Emhoff’s speech including the video introduction his son made and OMG tears. He’s such an amazing, supportive spouse. What a wonderful role model and contrast to the toxic masculinity of the MAGATs.

[pugz]

Oprah looks amazing in that purple suit.

I said the same thing to H. 

[chilerellanos]

I wasn’t excited for Oprah at all but she looked great and I liked her speech

But im not sure she is the right person. She inflicted oz and Dr Phil on us. But I guess she’s targeting the independents and undecided.

So, I guess maybe they’re hoping they can sway some of RFK people. Idk

I agree. We have to accept that people *can* change. They can see that they made some choices and said/did things that hurt people and then change for the good. But if they know they’ll be met with vitriol on the other side, it’s much easier for people to stick with what they’ve always been told. I think Pres Obama’s speech really hit on that last night.

I actually really wish they’d have a Republican come and speak and basically say, “I’m an old school Republican and still value the traditional Republican policies, but in 2024, I’m putting principles and country over party and voting for Kamala.

As far as saying her name, I used to get it mixed up on which was right and which was wrong until Minocqua Brewing Company came out with a beer that is “,la”. And now almost every time I say her name, I see “,la” in my head. (BTW, MBC is a solid blue small business making some big waves in Northern Wisconsin, a VERY red area! Most of their beers are politically themed, and they have good t-shirts.)

[Pom]

Amanda Gorman always blows me away. So poised and phenomenal.

[Pom]

So many fantastic speakers…Hakeem, Josh, Wes, Pete and they have…. JD the weird.

And the talented women? Jasmine, Angela Alsobrooks, Dana Nessel, Mallory McMorrow….so many. Holy shit. If we don’t fuck this up, the GQP gonna find out.

[beetea]

These football players are doing me in. 😭

[redheadbaker]

That they were able to get a former football team -- years later -- to travel to Chicago to support Walz says so much about him.

[shopgirl07]

The football players got me right in the feels.

[shopgirl07]

I love Gwen Walz.

[icedcoffee]

@@@

His kids!! ❤️❤️. You can tell they just adore him.

[beetea]

@@@@



OMG, Gus openly WEEPING. The epitomy of non-toxic masculinity.

[Roc A Bee]

The football team + his family teary eyed got me!

[pugz]

Is Hope holding a disposible camera?

[pugz]

The Walz family has me 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[beetea]

Please don't let this man turn into a milkshake duck. 😭

[redheadbaker]

That was a great speech by Walz!

[heat40]

Absolutely amazing! That was so so good. The family, all of them crying, @@@@@ his son pointing at him saying “that’s my dad”,@@@
the
football lingo, everything!

I’ve been blown away by how much emotion I’ve had watching this whole week. A whole rollercoaster of emotions but in the end just fucking pumped!!! Let’s get that win!!

[Deleted]

I found out that CNN replays the DNC in the wee hours of the morning when I’m on my first insomnia wake up. So I’m laying here at 4:23 in the morning full on ugly crying watching Gus Walz say “that’s my dad.”
