  1. >Fellow Americans, I love our country with all my heart. Everywhere I go—in everyone I meet—I see a nation ready to move forward. Ready for the next step, in the incredible journey that is America. I see an America where we hold fast to the fearless belief that built our nation. That inspired the world. That here, in this country, anything is possible. Nothing is out of reach.

    >An America, where we care for one another, look out for one another, and recognize that we have so much more in common than what separates us. That none of us has to fail for all of us to succeed. And that, in unity, there is strength.

    >[T]hey’re sending their murderers to the United States of America. This is going to be very bad. And bad things are going to happen.

    >And then we had that horrible, horrible result that we’ll never let happen again. The election result. We’re never going to let that happen again. They used Covid to cheat. We’re never going to let it happen again.

    Now guess which speaker is a convicted felon.

  2. That’s something the other party is supposed to say after a 9/11 or a Hurricane Katrina, not after a regular acceptance speech.

    Careful everyone. Kamala may not be as popular as Reddit makes her to be. There might be a slight Democratic bias here on politics, but I’m not entirely sure

    She spoke as a Democrat who will support Americans. But, if this is what these people have to tell themselves to support a Democrat then, 🤷‍♂️

  5. Kamala can win me over…. But I need to hear more from her. I’d love to hear her on a long form podcast of some sort where she’s asked tough questions. I want to see how she responds. Give me that, and I might vote for her. If it’s going to be more of the same bullshit we’ve seen the last 4 years where she reads a prompter every time we see her, I’m sitting this one out. I can’t vote for Trump, but the last 4 years have severely soured me on the Dems.

  6. It’s about TIME….most Democrats, have alway’s thought in those term’s… how many time’s have they extended their hand across the aisle,, to get law’s passed or voted for something to help the PEOPLE of the U.S., only to be ignored and let’s go after Hunter, let’s impeach President Biden, let’s not pass a border bill( cause the traitor said so) gun safety( for the people) Dem’s own gun’s, too, etc…..does it honestly take you this long to be aware of the difference

    Everyone American should talk like an American, not a subsection. United we stand, divided we fall.

    Ideal American:

    *Respect religious preference

    *Politics should NOT mix with religion or business(because of various preferences!)

    *Humans are gardeners, Earth is garden. No flower is superior to another. (Flowers are superior to humans)

    *Water/Ice, shelter, food, internet, education, and healthcare should be free and protected rights for all living critters.

    *Children are not little adults.*
    *Businesses are not people.*
    *Tax the freaking wealthy and especially their business and oh look, where’d all this money come from that we can now use for…. Anything!!??
    ………

    We have the technology to build heaven literally on earth (I’m not even religious) … yet we have *gestures broadly around *… parks turning into anti-homeless structures, libraries disappearing, the nazis are back (really never went away, America just hired them)… but I’m the dumb one cuz I’m poor and unpopular… make it make sense…

    Nvm don’t make it make sense because the answer is literally dystopian. So nvm carry on I guess. Stupid humans.

    They are not a pub if they are voting for a dem. Especially the most radically left dem the party has ever nominated. Get real

    Putting my middle American atypical hat on or trying to think like a republican. She did not “come” for them like say Hillary did. She is saying she respects everyone who has basic American values. In so many words it translated well. Very well. Whomever wrote that speech knows what they are doing. She made sure to include that she notices the regular folk. Police. Firefighters. Construction workers. She made sure to include these were her neighbors and she was molded by regular American life every single person can relate to. She didn’t overly sugar coat her life progression.

    In so many words she has killed the DEI argument. Just totally obliterated or should I say eviscerated.. lol it. She walked us through her life or shit most of our own lives as she interprets it. Which she shown extreme contrast with Trump and the silver spoons of the world. It shows she is a hard worker and wants to establish the American dream again. She won’t be able to in reality the rich are too rich to allow the middle any more upward mobility.

    Not everyone can be a billionaire but most want to be true middle class. Not too greedy like her nut job opponents like Trump/Musk/Vance that will step on anyone to get all the pie.

    The dems really need to hammer this home this next 2 months. It will resonate with the reachable Everyman. Not everyone is reachable. Fuck them. Leave ‘em behind.

  10. She spoke like a true centrist/neocon

    – Wants a lethal military

    – increase police funding

    – “standing up” to iran (straying from Obama’s peace policy)

    – aligning with republicans on border policy with nothing on things like DACA or path to citizenship
