What Went Down On The First Night Of The Democratic National Convention

I think that’s what I’m struggling with, Nate. The talking head stuff isn’t so much better than the pablum voters stuff. The analysis was literally about the children singing video. Anyhow, I’m on the record as saying conventions are all just bad theater, both from the media angle (ahem) and the political angle.

This is an interesting vertical video from a Trump voter who now is supporting Biden. In the first shot he was gripping a glass of … scotch?

There is something kind of appealing about this video montage format. TV ads do tug at the heartstrings — I kind of think the DNC may be on its safest footing tonight when it leans into what TV does best!
