13400005, Flawless address by Michelle Obama

It was refreshing to hear a non-politician just bring it from the heart like that.

Unfortunately, the party is still horribly managed. The fact that Bloomberg (a blatant racist/sexist) and Kasich are getting more featured prime time than AOC (who is only getting 60 seconds for a pre-recorded statement) is absurd.

I get the strategy of the "Republicans for Biden" movement - but that's the same strategy that the dems have done in presidential elections for 2 decades now - and it hasn't worked well. If you want to kiss up to the Joe Liebermans of the world once again - ok - but not at the expense of energizing and exciting young voters and the Progressive base. Give AOC and the Squad featured slots and embrace/promote these young rising stars. Celebrate the primary victories of Bowman, Mondaire & Bush and embrace this new wave energy coming into the party.

They are allowing the politics of John Kasich to dictate the tenor of the Convention, which illustrates just how far to the right the "center" in this country has shifted.
