Loving every night of this joyous, energetic and incredibly moving display of true patriotism. Who ever put this spectacular event together deserves an Oscar, at the very least. The future of the Dem Party is solid and strong. 💙
I have watched Democratic and Republican conventions for years until Cody was nominated. I have not watched a Republican convention 2012. The last two have been too revolting to waste time watching. This convention feels so hopeful. People are tired of being told they live in a hellscape that only Donald Trump can fix. He cannot fix anything. Everything Trump touches dies.
I am watching from a time zone 7 hours ahead and managed to stay awake for most of it. I woke up to hear Oprah talking. I am not sure who I missed, but am glad I got to see Tim Walz speak. He is so inspiring.
I bought a knock-off of the camo hat because I don't want to wait till October to wear one. Worn it now for two mornings on my walk through the neighborhood here in Encino Park and people who just walked past me before have stopped and talked about how the liked the show last night. People are watching and this is working.
I'm hoping Joe and Jill Biden will come back tomorrow and stand on the stage with the ticket, the Obamas, the Clintons, the governors, the Senators and reps in a giant show of unity and strength.
IMHO, Anna, Hakeem is an excellent successor to indomitable Nancy Pelosi….I hope after the election he WILL be the Speaker of the House if Dems have a majority, a role he is prime for!!!
Love Wes Moore also. We’ve got a deep bench of talent. It’s inspiring. I didn’t think it was possible for Amanda to be even more eloquent and beautiful in every way, but honestly, she is, day by day.
Yes--and it seems like "all-of-a-sudden"! I'm sure it doesn't seem so instant for those terrific people who had to actually do the work to get where they are.
When he goes back to a state and wins something bigger than mayor of South Bend Indiana which is about the size of my NYC neighborhood. I wish dems would stop trying to make federal elected roles entry level positions.
Before he even speaks, Tim Walz is the real deal. His is a husband, dad, teacher, coach, congressman, retired 24 year National Guardsman, a and Governor of a very successful state that has done very well with his leadership. He is our Governor and we will share him because he will do well for our country. Having met him he really is a great person.
The stories being told make me proud to be a life-long Democrat. This is the party of patriots who don’t profess it to your face but show it in their own actions to keep our country moving forward toward inclusion and equality of opportunity for all.
I was really openly crying… tonight I felt like the Dems took back being an American , being a patriot - people compare to Obama, but it is different and beyond that feeling bc of the T admin, COVID, and J6. It’s the amazing Biden admin followed by this icing .
Crying for three nights! I was trying to figure out why it’s so emotional and I feel like it is relief and hope that this Trump stuff will be solidly over. We are all so deeply tired of it!
Love watching Tim Walz' family cheering for him. His son and daughter are so proud of him. Seeing Gus wearing his heart on his sleeve shows me just what kind of man/father Walz is. What a leader he is proving to be.
I am overwhelmed by this American Joy, love for each other in our difference and shared experiences, even our shared problems and challenges and questions. Real hope for the American future.
Bravest performance of the night: Kenan Thompson “spoofing” Project 2025 - though it was more like exposing it since every word was true and terrifying.
Surprise to me. Pete Buttigieg. Ive heard him interviewed and been impressed, but i’ve never heard him “speechify” before. Wow!
Well, I would settle for "a" highlight – but that he absolutely was. What a great way to drive home the message about what a threat to America the Project 2025 is.
Yes!!! You read my mind! Dems have “riches” at the local, state & fed level that will “payout” in public service & elected offices for years and years to come. Gives me hope that we will be able to grapple effectively with the ginormous challenges that we face in both the near and far future.
LOVING reminders of Our Deep Bench!! For now...and our future.....ROCKSTAR Governor Wes Moore!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE Pete B!! LOVE his slams of creepy Vance!! Americans are soooo lucky that Pete Buttigieg CHOSE Service!! Soooo brilliant!!! Every time he speaks anywhere, anytime with anyone, Pete Buttigieg hits a Home Run!!!
Sheila E and John Legend rockin' PRINCE!!! Makes whatever the heck THEY did look more like a Dumpster Fire!
That’s exactly what I was thinking. When he walked out and surveyed that massive crowd, I thought to myself no matter what he’s done, football crowds, even when he campaigned for Congress or as candidate for governor… This is the national stage. Literally 15 days ago, he may have had a hint he was under consideration, but 15 days ago, he did not know he would be chosen and stand before this crowd at the DNC and deliver those real deal remarks. Mind-boggling. July 21 Kamala was passed the baton by Joe Biden. Today is August 21… Hard to believe but this is real. Onward! Such joy! Love it when the camera surveys the audience and we witness and admire the exuberance of those in attendance, a crowd that looks like America. The diversity is deeply heartening. This is just amazing.

I think I’ve never watched a democratic convention. So I have nothing to compare it to. Because I am blown away by this event. Agree with you 100%!

I am also watching from Europe and didn’t want to miss out on the excitement. Was happy r.the DNC is live streaming
Bought this one for my hubby tonight. https://store.indivisible.org/walz-bootleg-unisex-black-tee/

Thanks for the link. I'm going to order one; it's a great shirt!
Mayor Pete!!! Future POTUS!
I have absolutely no doubt of this.
Indeed future Potus!
Oh, yeah--hope I live to see it!!!
I'm hoping Joe and Jill Biden will come back tomorrow and stand on the stage with the ticket, the Obamas, the Clintons, the governors, the Senators and reps in a giant show of unity and strength.
Would be a great look and in keeping with the way they are presenting this election.
I think the Biden's are on vacation in Santa Barbara.
Santa Ynez.
"Hope is a thing with feathers." I am hoping along with you. But not actually hopeful.
Oh I hope that as well!
Pete just finished speaking. That man’s going to be our president someday.
Pete! And also Hakeem!
Hakeem was a revelation!
Hakeem started slow but dayum did he rev it up by the end!
IMHO, Anna, Hakeem is an excellent successor to indomitable Nancy Pelosi….I hope after the election he WILL be the Speaker of the House if Dems have a majority, a role he is prime for!!!
Pete and Raphael. So many great Dem leaders. It’s really feeling good around here!
I have so much respect for Pete, for Hakeem and for Corey Booker. All of them are Presidential material. We have such a deep bench!
And Jasmine Crockett! She’s going places.
Do not skip Katie Porter--she rocks!!
Sadly I think she kiboshed herself running for senate
I love her heart, so true!
She is amazing!!!!
Love Wes Moore also. We’ve got a deep bench of talent. It’s inspiring. I didn’t think it was possible for Amanda to be even more eloquent and beautiful in every way, but honestly, she is, day by day.
My words exactly! TY
Yes--and it seems like "all-of-a-sudden"! I'm sure it doesn't seem so instant for those terrific people who had to actually do the work to get where they are.
My thoughts exactly!
Us and a lot of other people. Where did all these amazing young Democrats come from? I thought I was paying attention!
I was thinking the same thing. The governor from Maryland looks really young. He was a powerful speaker.
When he goes back to a state and wins something bigger than mayor of South Bend Indiana which is about the size of my NYC neighborhood. I wish dems would stop trying to make federal elected roles entry level positions.
Yes, you’ll notice I said “someday,” which does not necessarily mean “soon.”
I hope so!

Yup, this! Will miss seeing he and Scout at Minnehaha dog park but there’s work to do and Coach is on it!

Great analogy, Kris, Harris/Walz as the icing on the cake baked by Biden/Harris!!!💖

beautiful
Love watching Tim Walz' family cheering for him. His son and daughter are so proud of him. Seeing Gus wearing his heart on his sleeve shows me just what kind of man/father Walz is. What a leader he is proving to be.
I totally lost it myself when the camera panned to them after the IVF story. (Can you imagine Trump's family getting so emotional over HIM?)
Oh they did, just a different demonstration of their emotion - greed & dependence on daddy
✨🇺🇸🥰🎯🥰🇺🇸✨
I was so impressed with the MD Governor. He could easily be a POTUS contender one day!
Check out his book: The Other Wes Moore, 👍🏼
Love Pete Buttigieg!!!!!
Oprah was terrific 🩵

Love walz’s players showing up!!
Kenan was the highlight and just killed it describing the horrible Project 2025.
Well, I would settle for "a" highlight – but that he absolutely was. What a great way to drive home the message about what a threat to America the Project 2025 is.
Hakeem's gonna be a great prez. He was on fire! It's amazing how DEEP the Democratic bench is!! Meanwhile, the GOP truly is the Star Wars Cantina.
Yes!!! You read my mind! Dems have “riches” at the local, state & fed level that will “payout” in public service & elected offices for years and years to come. Gives me hope that we will be able to grapple effectively with the ginormous challenges that we face in both the near and far future.
Stevie Wonder still has it going on!

Also loving that they have been having Republicans and Independents speaking.
Yes!
Is it really possible that it's only been two weeks since we were introduced to Tim? I feel like I've known him forever. And loved him that long, too.

"Never underestimate a public school teacher." -Tim Walz.
This retired teacher and Mom of teachers agrees.
And so does this wife of a retired public school teacher! (He taught Shop/Woodworking/Industrial Arts for 31 years)
