    They keep bragging about many Republicans they had on stage. Great, I guess the Democrats are just the Republicans from 10-20 years ago if those speakers find the current Democratic party palatable. I’m sure that will rally people to vote blue like they did in 2008. Was it caving on immigration, peace, and crime what made Obama so popular?

      They’re not even Republicans from 10-20 years ago. They’re Republicans from five years ago.

        Yes because Republicans from five years ago would definitely have all the largest union leaders and several socialists speaking at their convention.

          If they were speaking at the DNC, they were not socialists. They had more Republicans and cops speaking at that convention than marginalized communities.

            If they were speaking at the DNC, they were not socialists.

            So Bernie and AOC aren’t socialists now?

            They had more Republicans and cops speaking at that convention than marginalized communities.

            Uh? No they didn’t? Did you even watch the convention? They had a few Republicans and cops who spoke for less than ten minutes each. Meanwhile they had dozens of women of color, and women’s rights were one of the main themes of the entire convention.
