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

Obama says, “We have got to vote like we did in 2008 and 2012. We have to show up with the same level of passion and hope.” That is a pretty explicit appeal to Black voters, IMO.

Obama alludes to school shootings. I remember there was a time when it seemed like gun violence could be a major issue in this campaign.

Well, it sounds like there might be blue states and red states and Black America and white America and attacking people might be necessary after all. So the Obamas would like to extend and revise their remarks from 2004-2016.
