2024 Democratic National Convention Thread

[RobDownSouth]

This thread is triggering Deplorables nicely.

Not really, the only one triggered this morning is Saint_Ann, and s/he is a secondary tier shit slinger. With all the recent banhammering, I suppose s/he sees an opportunity to become a primary feces flinger.

Not really

I count multiple posts and at least one double-post by icanhelp1, a complete Deplorable degenerate. *chef kiss*

Apologies, I have had that choad on ignore for over a year. I didn't account for the true bottom-feeders of the Politics Board.

 

[Saint_Ann]

I think I may be reaching that comforting point where I just don’t need to read what certain people write anymore… you know it’s just there to troll with the hope that a on the end provokes some reaction
In the same way I don’t need to read periods, it’s just pointless filler - albeit periods have a function

Troll like rory? Lol.

 

[Saint_Ann]

Yes,I'm familiar with the "we all know" evidence. The House Oversight Committee just released their "we all know" report on Biden with the same approach.

These get filed away with the ones about UFOs, Big Foot and Nazis living on the moon

And a duck walks like a duck.

It’s weird how they seem to be hoping that people would be harmed.

Lol, the absolute need for the right to make the protests a focus is hilarious. Histrionics at its best.

Also, can everyone please just stop trying to compare audience sizes? It's just dumb and has no impact on anything. No vote is gained or lost by how many people are in your audience neither at the conventions nor any rally. ZERO

Not zero, my friend. The concept of crowd sizes is not as irrelevant to gaining votes as you may think. It's worth considering the potential impact on voter influence.

This is an old article in 2017 about Trump's crowd size matters issue. It seems relevant to your desire to wave off equating crowds and votes:

Duke University Crowd Size Matters

Please show me a candidate with an excellent platform who rolls into town and speaks to a crowd of a few hundred versus a large venue of 60,000 by another candidate. Guess where the news media is centered? Voters are influenced by popularity. That's why the concept of polls is ever present in the daily news.

Crowd size matters and equates to voter gains. It's a reflection of popularity, which is often associated with success, and in turn, larger crowds. This association is not to be underestimated.

Like it or not, crowd size and votes are related to voters' minds.

Not to me! Wat_Tyler, JoePepsiCo and the late banhammered Chobham have been preaching their perverted "Gospel of Violence As A First Option" for over a decade now.

Crowd size has mattered in previous elections. It does not in this one. Double haters are the undecided voters. They don't give a shit about crowd size.

Ah thank you for quoting me to get my attention - carry on with your pink noise, Ken, don’t let me interrupt

FAR fewer "double haters" in the past month. The "double haters" have seemingly migrated over to the Harris/Walz ticket in droves.

Their protest appears to have been a loathing to perpetuate a gerontocracy in America.

 

[dmallord]

There were more than a few people. Like I said it’s still early.

Past early today but still:

ABC News – at least 4 arrested
Fox News – at least 4 arrested
News Nation – at least 4 arrested

Seems like a 'few' were arrested for climbing over a fence. But they didn't arrest the dimwit that set up posters of Harris and Walz and had kids throwing shoes at them. Damn, angry kids led by an idiot promoting violence!

Robby the racist having me on ignore is inconsequential to me, rather an act of cowardice. If Robby had the brains God gave a rock he would’ve noticed I’ve rarely responded to any of his rants since the Bot Boy days. Robby’s childish rants and insults against Bot Boy’s wife and family lowered my opinion of him to that of a mud skipper and not worth any response from me to any of his belligerent prose. Robby calling anyone a bottom feeder is a pathetic depiction of his own existence. Robby needs to look in the mirror. Robby’s dismal attempt at clever messaging is quite comical. Poor Robby believes being a ‘pseudo-intellectual’ is an asset, quite the contrary, it exposes his intellectual deficit for all to see. I take great pleasure watching R G’s dismantling of Robby’s feeble attempt at relevancy.

 

[dmallord]

So kicking him off the ballot was, in fact, total bullshit. Got it.

What? We were addressing Biden's mental acuity and you jumped tracks to this? Whatever, Sancho Panza. Please, remount your ass and ride on to tilt with other windmills.

I am in the middle. Of course, crowd size doesn’t matter as it relates to votes. But I think strategically it’s important to tout crowd size to dispel doubts that there is lacking democratic enthusiasm in a possible Harris win.

Shapiro is too green. Bashear is relatively unknown.

Shapiro is too Jewish. Period!

Let me rephrase - for the votes that will matter, crowd size doesn't matter. The battleground states voters that hated.their choices.matter and now are considering staying home or voting for Harris.

 

[BrightShinyGirl]

Josh Shapiro himself has debunked this right-wing talking point. Strong support for Israel is part of the Harris/Walz platform.

How did you arrive at this conclusion? You cannot discount its relevance to this election cycle if it mattered before. Where's your evidence, or is this an opinion?

If it is evidence-based, it should be supported. If this is your opinion, then state that. Otherwise, this is akin to a Trumpian sputter without his usual lack of a foundation.

Given how your initial post reads, I'm leaning toward–sputtering.

It wasn’t this thread that triggered ineedhelp1 so badly, it was the undeniable greatness of the convention’s opening night. (I guarantee Hillary Clinton showing up on stage and delivering her strongest, most inspiring speech ever, almost eight years after the MAGAts tried to paint her as being in poor health and unable to fulfill the duties of the POTUS, completely blew ineedhelp1’s mind.)



Also:

Imagine how mind-blowing it was for a MAGAt like ineedhelp1 to see genuine love, happiness, and patriotic behavior at the Democratic convention, and being able to contrast that with the hate, weirdness, and treasonous behavior at the "republican" convention.

Polling trends.

I've posted polling (as have others) in the polling thread. Trends are demonstrated.

Given how your initial post reads, I'm leaning toward–sputtering.

You're welcome to disagree. The focus on crowd size is stupid "cock measuring" tribal fighting and nothing else. The average voter has those involved muted or ignored, as they should.
