Apocalypse Now: GOP Convention Night One Is Doom-And-Gloom Sesh Focused On Dem ‘Horror’

Welcome to the forum.

What offended me more than anything tonight was Trump and his fellow grifters using the White House and other federally-owned properties as backdrops for their slanders and lies. They act like it’s their personal property, without regard for history, tradition, or law. I guess we’re lucky they haven’t rebranded it as the Trump House, and that Melania only ruined the rose garden and didn’t install a new driveway over it.

Indeed. Both too old for the job. And Trump’s increasingly obvious dementia more than makes up for the three years that Biden has on him.

It’s all they have. They are devoid of actual facts, logical thoughts, and humane feelings.

Do you suppose Tim Scott is capable of experiencing shame?

The biggest problem that i had with Biden, Warren n Sanders is that they sucked the air out of the room.

Harris n Klobuscar are both no, because of Warren and Pete ?, we got Joe.

OK! But my new congressman is running as a democratic socialist. If it is nonsense he should drop it. Bernie and the so-called squad should also.

I think Jim Clyburn had more to do with it than Warren and Buttigieg. Without Clyburn, I think it would have been Sanders.

I’m sure you know this, but I think people have made their decisions. Now it’s just all about turnout: get the base to vote, and maybe in the process get them being obnoxious and threatening enough to discourage the opposition.

Tell him that. All it does is frighten the horses.

And we’d almost certainly be facing another four years of Trump. Something the Sanders’ supporters never seemed to understand was that an aging, rather obnoxious politician who calls himself a socialist, and who sounds like Brooklyn, was never going to win a national election. Sorry, bro’s, but that’s a simple fact. If you don’t believe it, you’ve never been away from the large coastal States, nor have you ever been to the South.

When one refuses to admit any errors, they continue to make the same mistakes.

I think you’re probably right about that. Biden got no bounce out of the convention. I won’t be surprised when Trump stays exactly where he is too.

Biden has a good lead, but not so good we can sit back and relax. We still need every vote we can get.

If you are willing and able to do it, here’s the link to volunteer to make calls for Biden in the battleground states.

There’s also a more obvious problem with it. In 2016, they managed to convince just enough people that the country was in some sort of “terrible mess” (I had some weird conversations about that with people whose sources of information truly mystified me), and only the Republicans could save us. That got Trump elected.

They’re essentially going with the same narrative this time around. But they’ve been in power since 2017, so if we’re in a “terrible mess,” they own it.

Calm down. I’m not promoting Sanders. I’m saying that’s what would have happened. You seem to be forgetting all the press easing us into accepting the Sanders’ candidacy, the numbers showing that the division of support among so many candidates was tending to favor Sanders.

Then along came the Southern primaries. But before them, Biden’s campaign was on life support.

They’re being very positive.

“If Joe Biden is elected on November 3rd, I’m POSITIVE you’ll all be murdered in your beds by MS-13 before Christmas, which will be cancelled anyway because SOCIALISM.”

It’s really obvious that none of these people have ever been to Sweden.

church, work, and school versus rioting, looting, and vandalism

Two more police shootings of black men, and they still can’t bring themselves to recognize what is behind BLM. They are amoral sleaze bags.

That hell hole?!!! The only way it could be worse would be if the people who live there were darker.

I have. Nice place but taking any lessons from it for the US is silly.
