Night Two: The Virtual 2020 Democratic National Convention!

Night two of the DNC.
WEAR THE DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!

Did you happen to catch last night's Democratic National Convention?

I know a lot of people are talking about the speeches made by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), former First Lady Michelle Obama, former Ohio governor John Kasich and New York governor Andrew Cuomo. They managed to steal the show.

Those were the people Donald J. Trump and the far-right attacked the most. Besides them, the Republicans have targeted Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) his running mate.











Joseph Robinette Biden and Kamala Devi Harris will take the stage this week and formally become the Democratic presidential and vice presidential nominees. The Democrats will have to work extra hard to encourage voter enthusiasm.

The former rival Sanders has once again left the Democratic Party with a toxic brew.

The party's young and progressive base are not so keen on a Biden-Harris ticket. They are once again going to cost the election for the Democrats all because of a covert campaign sparked by Sanders' vile allies.

Polls say that Biden is leading in many states. However, Biden isn't stupid and he knows that the risk of getting to confident in this election. He doesn't want to face a Walter Mondale or Hillary Clinton defeat.

So Biden is going to take things with consideration. He is trying to win over disgruntled Republicans and independents. Many progressives are concerned that Biden is taking a moderate path. They said that Trump went full conservative and won.

They want a leader who can bring progressive policies to the mainstream.

Trump is trying to campaign in crucial states he's gonna need to win. He was in Wisconsin and Minnesota on Monday. He will be in Arizona to host a campaign rally and donation.

Last night Michelle Obama brought the house down.

"Donald Trump is the wrong president for our country. He has had more than enough time to prove that he can do the job, but he is clearly in over his head. He cannot meet this moment. He simply cannot be who we need him to be for us. It is what it is."



NPR reported that Obama acknowledged that some weren't sure the Democratic Party should stick with that approach. But she defended staying true to it, saying, "Going high is the only thing that works, because when we go low, when we use those same tactics of degrading and dehumanizing others, we just become part of the ugly noise that's drowning out everything else. We degrade ourselves. We degrade the very causes for which we fight."
Trump had words for Michelle Obama, Bernie Sanders and John Kasich.
But for the 2020 version, Obama suggested there are times when hitting back is necessary, saying, "Going high does not mean putting on a smile and saying nice things when confronted by viciousness and cruelty."

Wearing a gold necklace with letters that spelled V-O-T-E, the former first lady made an urgent plea for Americans to show up in 2020.

"We've got to vote early, in person if we can. We've got to request our mail-in ballots right now, tonight, and send them back immediately and follow up to make sure they're received. And then, make sure our friends and families do the same. We have got to grab our comfortable shoes, put on our masks, pack a brown bag dinner and maybe breakfast too, because we've got to be willing to stand in line all night if we have to."

That message could be viewed as at odds with advice from public health experts who warn that Americans need to social distance during the coronavirus pandemic and avoid crowded places. Joe Biden, 77, has held few public events and has stuck to just a handful of low-key events with small numbers of voters in his home state of Delaware or neighboring Pennsylvania.



Sanders had said that Trump had failed in handling the pandemic and our economy is inching closer towards a Great Depression. He said that Trump is like Nero and he's fiddling while the country collapses.

"We are facing the worst public health crisis in 100 years and the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression. We are confronting systemic racism and the enormous threat to our planet of climate change. And in the midst of all of this, we have a president who is not only incapable of addressing these crises but is leading us down the path of authoritarianism," Sanders said.
Bill Clinton and AOC will bring some A-game. The Republicans will try to bring up Jeffrey Epstein and Clinton in real time.
"This election is the most important in the modern history of this country. In response to the unprecedented crises we face, we need an unprecedented response — a movement, like never before, of people who are prepared to stand up and fight for democracy and decency — and against greed, oligarchy and bigotry.And we need Joe Biden as our next president."

"Nero fiddled while Rome burned; Trump golfs. His actions fanned this pandemic, resulting in over 170,000 deaths and a nation still unprepared to protect its people," said Sanders.

Also the Republicans Against Trump organization has

There was a bipartisan report that showed Trump's 2016 former campaign manager Paul Manafort was engaging contact with members of the Russian Federation. They also claimed that Trump engaged in contact with Roger Stone when he got word Wikileaks was planning on dumping the emails of the DNC and Clinton chair John Podesta.

Donald Trump, Jr. had allegedly slept with Natalia Veselnitskya, the lawyer who met with Trump campaign advisors Jared Kushner and Manafort at Trump Tower.

Russia may have information on Trump that could blackmail him. The "golden showers" tape allegedly found in the Christopher Steele dossier has been one of the themes of Sean "Softball" Hannity's right wing carnival. Trump and Michael Cohen are at risk of blackmail due to their engagement with Russian women.

All I can tell you in real time, that 6.8 million people are infect with the coronavirus. Over 200,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus. There are over 35 million Americans unemployed in the United States. Companies are going out of business left and right. We have civil unrest in many of America's municipalities. We are less than three months away from the U.S. Elections and we're not prepared for the possibility of election tampering from foreign entities. We are not prepared for mail-in ballots or absentee ballots. We are having a food crisis due to the coronavirus.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.

Over 103 people have died a day because of gun violence.

We are really having a moment where the world is on fire and Donald J. Trump is just playing golf or rambling about how everyone who doesn't support his ass is anti-American.

The Democratic National Convention is on tonight.
