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

I think we can all agree the Zoom applause addition to these convention was a nice thought that does not work.

Obama saying vote “early … in person if we can” seems like an important change of emphasis from what I had previously understood the Democrats’ stance on this to be, which seemed more to encourage people to vote by mail.

This was a very strong speech. Basically, “I hate politics, but here I am. I said we have to go high, but we have to be honest about Trump’s shortcomings. We need to vote like our candidate is exciting — even if he’s not.”
