This format was very effective. Very intimate. The party talked directly to the people at home and not the true believers in the arena.

Less talking head time  and much more direct engagement.

I liked this a lot.

Two things: 1) it was nice to hear the speeches without them being interrupted by wild cheering at the end of every line, allowing them to flow.and build, and 2) I missed the wild cheering at the end of every line.

Also, count me.among those sick sick sick of Zoom meetings.

Well, we use Teams, but still.

Agree, the format was unfortunate.  Political speeches fall flat when delivered on camera like that, when the speaker can not feed off of the crowd's emotions, and when the speaker does show emotion it feels fake.  It takes away from the message.  Conventions are meant to hype people up.  No matter how well delivered and true the words were last night, the experience wasn't energizing.

I have had Bruce Springsteen in my head all morning, so there is that.

I thought the format rocked. Evolution, yo!

This was straightforward direct engagement. The format and production were tight.
Obama’s speech would have been twice as long and half as effective if interrupted by applause..

There will be no delegates showing their asses like the Berniacs did in 2016.

The primaries have taken a lot of the juice, suspense and entertainment factor from the conventions.

at this point the conventions are mostly infomercials

and if you're among the next 10,000 callers you'll get not 1 but 2 Biden ballots all for the low low one-time cost

Separate shipping and handling charges will apply

USPS delivery before the election however can not be guaranteed.


say what you want about the 60s and 70s but there was some good drama produced, mostly be the big-tent contentious Dems.

i remember being glued to the tube as a kid watching the drama of the Mississippi Freedom party delegates battling for recognition and Chicago '68 was unreal.

and who vetted Tom Eagleton  in '72-JFC

i thought pre-covid we had a chance of reliving Chicago as demostrators would have swamped Charlotte and Trump's Nuremberg in North Carolina convention.   

I thought given the practicality last night was pretty good even if entirely orchestrated, I thought Bernie was very good and Michelle fucking killed it.

she was awesome.

and it all wrapped up by 11pm in time.

Red would call it efficient and business like.

Conventions are nothing more than pep rallies.  I wouldn't watch them if they were held in my living room.

Black babies are three times as likely to die when cared for by white doctors.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Facing public pressure and state lawsuits, the Postmaster general announced Tuesday he is halting some operational changes to mail delivery that critics warned were causing widespread delays and could disrupt voting in the November election.

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said he would “suspend” his initiatives until after the election “to avoid even the appearance of impact on election mail.”

The abrupt reversal comes as more than 20 states, from New York to California, announced they would be suing to stop the changes. The states, along with lawmakers and others, want to ensure voters are able to use mail-in ballots if they prefer to avoid polling places due to health risks from COVID-19...

Looks like "being silly" got the job done.
