General Politics Discussion VII [ARCHIVED] • Page 1633

I missed well written speeches. That’s what I’ve learned tonight.

 

I bet Michelle Obama would have won if she ran

 

were any of the non Bernie/Michelle speeches worth going back and watching?

 

I was only half paying attention, but not from any politicians. The one with the “my dads only preexisting condition was believing Trump” was a good line and moving.

 

God even 60 would be amazing for my personal situation. My mom might be willing to quit full time work for part time next year if it lowered to 60 and she could get Medicare.

55 feels right though. At that point a lot of people are 30 years into their jobs, young enough to get some enjoyment out of life still, they can retire and find part time work opening up new jobs for younger people earlier, etc.

 

doesn't surprise me. lineup today was kinda uninspiring. But Bernie and Michelle both killed it so I'm still happy.

Tomorrow is also probably gonna be a mess. AOC is the only exciting name on the list though I guess it'll be interesting to hear from Jill

 

Birth feels right to me imo.

 

That's what CHIP is for DUH

Yeah it'd be nice if we at least got a public option out of it too.

 

I refuse to read the replies.

 

The video

 

If I had to make one complaint about Michelle's speech, she kept talking about her kids and setting the right examples for them... but both of them are old enough to vote. Gen Z and Millennials make up a large percentage of the voting block now. Felt like it could've used a bit of also reaching out to the younger generations, complement them for holding the older generations accountable, and stressing we need them to show up and vote too.

 

Are any young voters even paying attention to a DNC convention with seemingly half the speakers being ex republicans?

LOL in 2016 everyone complained about all the policy talk and “too many policy papers” I can’t decide what twitter wants

 

We Have No Policy is the most clear policy the DNC has ever had.

 

(That joke was too easy to make)

 

The Democrats: Same policies as GOP but we don't automatically hate you if you're not a straight cis white guy

Major plus if you are though

 

Lmaoooooooo

 

He should go on a stand-up tour with Klobuchar.
