Who else besides me remembers the disastrous 1980 Democratic Convention?
The Democrats had an incumbent president (Carter) of their own party in the White House.
Instead of supporting him in the convention, they allowed Ted Kennedy to challenge him.
As a result, Reagan won.
@RpsAgainstTrump
Haley has lost 2028 because she's proven to have no convictions or principles.
Not like the few Republicans who have kept their integrity.
@msfrogladie
The 1980 election ushered in the Reagan Revolution that has devastated the American working class.
The danger is even greater this time.
Don't blow it, Democrats!

When did Americans ever see a flag with an ex-president's name on it at any patriotic event?
Idolatry and nationalism, a deadly mix.
@mindys4Biden
Why is it that this "mistake" would have had consequences if the defendant were anyone but Trump?
I have difficulty believing that this continues without pushback.
It makes you lose faith in this country entirely.
@Kissmyazz24
Men want to impress other men.
They learn when they are little boys that acting "like a girl" is the lowest thing ever.
A TV producer once remarked that girls will watch shows about boys, but boys won't watch shows about girls.
The socializing starts young.

According to John Adams: “As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion..."
Many of the Founding Fathers were Deists, not Christians.
@realTuckFrumper
Everything Trump does and is is the antithesis of what a Christian is supposed to be like.
So why do so many so-called Christians support him?
@Kissmyazz24
These men spend a lifetime hating people who have no power over them while slobbering with admiration over the men who do.
And they think they are free.

Do more reading.
The role you define for us is the role you want us to play because of your own feelings of inadequacy and inferiority. I'm sorry for your little ego.
@RepsForBiden
I would be relieved and joyful if the Republicans chose him as their candidate.
It would mean that there was still some hope for their party.

@DWUhlfelderLaw
Florida will have the opportunity to have their say on DeSantis. Most of us in the rest of the country have already made up our minds.
@grandmagrit
Their kind of "Christianity" is what makes non-believers run in the opposite direction.
Strangely enough, people expect believers to live their religion.
How do you feel about unconditional love?
Do you believe in it? Is it a good thing?
I have learned that my love is not unconditional.
For self-protection, it can't be.
@realTuckFrumper
Wealthy man says publicly that he would eliminate Medicare and Social Security.
Wisconsin citizens on Medicare and Social Security re-elect him anyway.
@wyonaf
I realized that Trump was unfit for office when he called Zelensky personally for dirt on Hunter Biden.
Truthfully, I should have wised up before then.
@4Yourinformati3
No. Biden didn't create the mess. He inherited it.
A President is not Superman; he has to deal with the cards he's dealt.
And if a crisis comes his way, he's expected to provide leadership. Sort of what Trump didn't do when Covid hit.

Yes, intelligent minds want to know what news channel is actually run by journalists who are worthy of the name.
Can we please raise Walter Cronkite from the dead?
@ponygirl923
I grew up with the America that taught abstinence only and shamed young women. It didn't stop young people from having sex and it didn't stop young women from getting "in trouble."
What hasn't changed is the culture that encourages males to have sexual "conquests."
@BleuLimousine
He can put forth all of the resolutions he pleases, but the rest of America watched what happened on January 6, 2021.
Republicans, erasing the history they don't like. As usual.
@Kissmyazz24
This man is too dishonest to admit that we have a society that encourages men to badger women for sex, to have many sexual conquests to brag to other men about.
He's too dishonest to admit that some members of his sex are predatory.

@consequence
I support Green Day. I support their decision and their politics!
How about all the anti-war and protest songs of the 60s and 70s? Don't tell me you don't remember.
@theresa_cross
George Will is a NeverTrumper. Like Richard Cheney, he can sit around and wonder how he contributed to the state of the GOP and this country today.
@HaroldsBro
Trump is the first president who ever made me cry with fear for the future of this country and this Constitution, and I am 72 years old.
It happened on September 23, 2020, when he wouldn't guarantee a peaceful transition if he lost the election.

I don't listen to the cultural dictates of an ancient nomadic tribe just trying to survive among strangers.
If this has relevance to you, give up your modern technology and live as in those times.
@bluertwo
No, don't be like my brother who gives people who wander into his yard from the hospital money and rides to bus stations.
I pray that his good heart doesn't get him in trouble.
@WesfromChgo
There are GOP women who are lawyers and judges who go around telling other women that they should stay at home and play housewife.
They should follow the dictates they want to impose on others.
@Mollyploofkins
When that Georgia district re-elected that clown to a second term in office, they really showed the country what a bunch of bottom-feeders they are.
@DougWahl1
Hunter is a liability to his father, but Trump is a liability to this country.
He's done much worse than what he has been convicted of doing.
@ponygirl923
Thanks for sharing.
I care about abortion access because I believe that everyone has a right to own their own body.
Every child who is born should be a child who is wanted.
@cmclymer
They aren't journalists. They are entertainers. Journalists stopped being journalists when their corporate masters expected their news departments to pull a profit.
The GOP campaign against women's rights will have the least impact upon women who are well-connected, weathy, and educated. The women who will really suffer are the poor and middle classes.
@Bakers_Write
Your marriage is young; don't be discouraged if you discover other things about him that you don't like. Those things won't matter in the long run.
@Mollyploofkins
I am not a fan of Biden, but I voted for him. What you said points out the one great factor in his favor.
Going to bed worrying about what Trump was going to do or say next robbed me of my peace of mind.
That doesn't happen with Biden in office.
@TDsSister
I remember that too.
Protests and police brutality outside the convention hall. Disruption within.
Instead of "The Happy Warrior" Hubert Humphrey, we got Richard Nixon.
@DougWahl1
The rational people who still exist in the Republican party are being punished by their own.
The rest of us support these potential allies who are standing with us against The Crazy.
@tealmobile7
A profession like that would have natural attraction for a bully. That's why a police force should be very well vetted and qualified.
"Protect and serve" is painted on many police cars. That should mean something.

The kind of party that I quit and have been boycotting since.
May they fall into the political dustbin like their predecessors, the Whigs.
