2024 Democratic National Convention Thread

Weird…and creepy.

You got a little jizz there on your upper lip.

In what universe are you saying that? She's been begging Israel to give up and let Hamas won since the October7th terrorist attack.

I was gratified to hear Kamala Harris reiterate her support for Israel in her acceptance speech tonight. First she confirmed her support for Ukraine. I murmured to my husband “now do Israel” and she did! She also specifically called out the horrors of October 7th!

This PB is filled with unserious people.
We understand the assignment before us.
We are ready to go to work.

Your involvement in this process doesn't go beyond your trip to the poll. Then you can go back to earning a few more degrees.

Thank you for the kind compliment on your respect for my continued expansion of knowledge.
The RNC ended with celebratory pats on the back and the sad subjugation of weak people to an immoral criminal.
The DNC ended with a call for action. I'm ok with you and complacent republicans believing Harris supporters will be sitting on our asses waiting on Nov 5th.

She also called out for self-determination for Palestine and the need for a ceasefire now rather than later.
I thought she struck a good balance there, not an easy thing to do.
One thing is for sure: if she's serious about both Israel and Palestine, that spells the end of Netanyahu's "perpetual war" initiative and likely the end of his political career.
This, IMHO, is a good thing.

P.S. If Israel elects hardliner miscreants Bezalel Smotrich or Benny Gantz as the next Israeli Prime Minister, the people of Israel will be sending a clear, unambiguous message to the world that Israel is not serious about peace in the Middle East. Those jacknapes are worse than Netanyahu. Both are mini-Trumps, as opposed to Netanyahu's clueless mini-Dubya.

I watched that last night, and the conversation that followed it. Yes, just 8 'undecideds', but no-one came out and straight up said afterwards how out of that 8 the minds of 6 were convinced enough by Harris' speech to vote for her! 75% (right?, 3/4's?) That's HUGE imho. Yes, 1 decided she didn't do enough so will vote for trump and another remained undecided, but 6 out of 8 ain't bad, it's great!

Yeah yeah, I know that a lot of these if not all were UAW workers so perhaps some predispositions there (or at least an openness to be persuaded) that may not translate directly to a wider population of 'undecideds', but it is very very hopeful.

I’ve been watching things closely, and it has become apparent that the major hangup in the ceasefire is the Philadelphi corridor.

It has also become apparent that Hamas and Egypt are holding out on a ceasefire deal to maintain the terrorism related smuggling operation from Egypt into Gaza.

I do not support any ceasefire agreement that cedes the Philidelphi corridor to Hamas (or any international security force sympathetic to Hamas).

Hamas must be starved of resources so the Palestinian civilians can get out from under Hamas rule and Israel can get out from under the constant terror threat Hamas poses.

 

[butters]

I'm asking this because I don't know, not through snark:

why must Israel control the Philadelphi Corridor when Egypt had control before?

On 11 December 2023, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a Knesset Foreign Affairs and Security Committee that Israel will control the Philadelphi Corridor (border between Gaza and Egypt) and that Israel would impose a buffer zone inside the Gaza Strip.[22] On 7 May 2024, Israel took control of the Rafah crossing and stationed its forces within the Philadelphi Corridor, the control of which is supposed to remain with Egypt according to the Camp David Accords.[23]

Yes, 1 decided she didn't do enough so will vote for trump

That 1 guy had misogyny written all over him.

Kamala Harris is 60 years old and is far smarter, far more experienced, far more decent, far more upstanding, far more patriotic, and far more competent than DonOld Trump, but that 1 guy excluded Kamala Harris and endorsed DonOld Trump???

The Philidelphi corridor was found to have an extensive tunnel system running under the border between Egypt and Gaza after the Israeli invasion.

Egypt is complicit with Hamas.

Full stop.

They had Pink! All good.
Let’s see the other two fly around a stadium belting out their hits!
Do the other two have a daughter to present?
Be grateful
It was a serious gathering, not a love fest for some other women!
They can both make their own HUGE media tidal waves in the weeks to come. Separately!
We don’t need to blow out load in one night
