Two-bit union buster, Banana Republicans, Trump is a scab. Lots of good slogans out of this convention so far.

What a great speech! She has really matured since the last DNC and I think she’s now ready to run nationally. Probably she will go for Chuck Schumer’s seat when he retires.

She was fantastic

I legit haven’t been that enthralled in a speech by a politician since 2008. It was an absolute home run.

Absent political leanings (don’t panic, I’m very much on her side) it was an incredibly effective speech. So was Beshear, though he was less “rah rah” and more empathy driven.
> Chicago has hosted the Democratic Convention 11 times, most recently in 1996 when the United Center saw President Bill Clinton was nominated for a second time.
> DNC live updates: What time does the Democratic convention start – and who's speaking?
I genuinely think she has an excellent shot at winning the Presidency in 2032 or sooner. That was excellent.

AOC’s potential has been seen from day one. That’s why the right tried to vilify her immediately. She’s a treasure.

I can see her as a future President.

We’d be lucky to have her as president some day. She’s incredible.

The agony of Donald Trump, to be publicly destroyed by much smarter and more eloquent WOC’s…

I hope we see some of the courageous women who spoke about their abortion stories step into elected office…..especially the woman who was raped by her father-in- law at age 12.
I’m an old guy and was balling while she told her story. She was very powerful and moving.
These women need to be heard by everyone and they could be future DEM elected leaders/warriors!

Do republicans watch the dnc speeches? Or do they watch their favourite media personality’s take on it?

I haven’t felt this happy and optimistic and just…..fuck man, I just feel like we’re all united for this first time in a long long time….am I trippin? (i mean, yes I am quite literally on a psilocybin microdose that turned into a kinda mid dose oops)…..I dont know who power cycled the Democratic Party (first analogy that came to mind) but thank you…and sorry for the random wall of text from my giddy happy tripped out brain thats just lovin’ everything the Dems are doing lately. And thank you Joseph Robinette Biden, you will go down as one of the best presidents in history regardless of what happens in November

“Slams” – sigh. Editors of large newspapers need a huge kick in the ass for allowing that verb to keep being used. Be creative.

Off topic but what does two-bit even mean?
Edit: Just looked it up. “Spanish dollars were deemed equivalent in value to a U.S. dollar. Thus, twenty-five cents was dubbed “two bits,” as it was a quarter of a Spanish dollar. Because there was no one-bit coin, a dime (10c) was sometimes called a short bit and 15c a long bit.”

AOC is amazing
This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/08/19/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-dnc-speech-trump-union-buster/74857842007/) reduced by 80%. (I’m a bot)
