As Americans watched from their well-worn couches, where many of us have spent almost all of our time for five months, the Democratic National Convention took its viewers on a coast-to-coast road trip.
I liked it. It showed diversity in America in their own states. Usually we see āfacesā on a convention floor but this went deeper. Good job.
We just saw the future of Americaā¦
It was great
It was reassuring
It was unifying!
Compelling! Well done!
Instead of a boisterous convention hall, this time we were able to hear and tour each state as they were visually represented.
ā«ā«"Dream up, dream upā«ā«
ā«ā«Let me fill your cupā«
ā«ā«With the promise of a man"ā«ā«
Really well done. It was hokey at times, but reassuringly so. And the portion with the focus on people who talked about the meaning of the ACA to them was especially moving. I find myself wondering what the GOoPers will come up with to compete. I mean, is Trump going to stand up in front of another Church with a right side up Bible? I guess that would be news.
All trump has is lies.
Loved it. Also interviews with peopleās living rooms, kitchens and studies in the background. All kinds of people spoke and participated. Several themes wove it all together.
The Narwhal blubber showcase was a nice touch from our newest state, Greenland.
Your photo caption isnāt correct. Derrick Lente is NOT a āUS Representativeā. He represents District 65 in the New Mexico House. Our US Representatives are Debra Haaland, Ben Ray Lujan, and Xochitl Torres Small.
On the other hand, thanks for choosing this particular image and showcasing New Mexico!
The whole two hours was done about as well as it could have been. Iām glad thereās the talent on our side to put something like this together. Canāt see how the other side is going to answer this. It will just be fear and loathing.
The Republicans will be all lies, hate, and conspiracy theories. Itās their ābrand.ā
This is the best way to do a roll call. America is Beautiful.
Not to mention it kept the Convention rolling on time.
It was one of the best moments. Even after the pandemic is (fingers crossed) over, they should stick with this roll call format.
Next week, will the GOP be doing it from the various whore houses Trump has patronized?
Sites where people of color have been lynched (in all 50 states and seven territories).
New Mexico wins the award for the best roll call shot. The Sandia Mountains were stunning. Reminded me that I need to move to New Mexico.
Hey, the GOP is diverse, too ā they have Ammosexual Nazis in the South, racist inbreds in the Midwest, and fascist militia-types in the North and West. Itās a virtual cornucopia of Deplorables!
See Kevin Kruseās genius GOP roll-call thread on Twitter: hilarious:
That was a beautiful write-up, Kate ā thank you! I loved the roll call ā it was sweet, moving, engaging, and wonderful to see people from all across our country and oceans proud to be their statesā representatives.
When did they do the signing? I guess the inspection went well then.
