Isn't that one of her nieces?

No clue…when I revisit this image in 12+ years, it’s going to be my daughter.

So the apology only came out after Ronda got hit with questions that she ignored? Means she’s lying about wrestling with putting out an apology.

I don't disagree that they should have more open dialogue with a rational representative in relation to Gaza, but not sure why it would be expected at a Democratic party showcase.

Still over 2 months left. That’s 2+ months of him saying **** like this and worse. Still expecting a wild *** secretly recorded video to drop.

Turns out the “DEI VP” was on the opps’ radar over a decade ago. The “not very intelligent” VP was who they didn’t want to face.

Need a couple Dems to say if trump is so intelligent, why did he threaten to sue if his SATs and transcripts were released.

Why would it not be expected during a time when the Democratic Party is officially nominating it's candidate for president? The turmoil in Isreal/Palestinian is still a major current issue and will be exploited during this presidential campaign. Seems like the perfect time and place to speak on it

why? a party convention is not an open dialogue,
in fact it's probably the exact opposite of an open dialogue.

easy,

it's a contention topic that splits the democratic party. its a party convention not a struggle sessions.

plus Kamala addressed it her speech. what more do you want?

 

[RustyShackleford]

A convention is like an infomercial for a political party. It is not one big national caucus.

It is about showing unity and sending a positive message. Not to put internal party conflicts on display

The Dems don't want a mini 1968, but this time with 24/7 news networks in attendance.

I know some people that have beefs with the Democrats for whatever reason want to act like this isn't the basic political reality. But it is.

You cut off the part that says this exact thing.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

this what some some people a party convention is supposed to be

 

[RustyShackleford]

I think what happened is that protestors thought that they would get a lot of national attention and media coverage, and would force the hand of the Dems in some way.

They didn't

So now the beef is the DNC didn't concede something to them anyway.

She gave vague remarks on the situation. Hardly anything that would inspire a resolution. But this issue is not going away. And the Dems cannot run from it forever. I would have preferred if they addressed it during the convention. At least acknowledge it. By not doing so, it gives the impression that it doesn't matter to them. But eventually Kamala and the Dems are going to have to address it

A political convention is not where you get resolution to a decades long middle east conflict.

We'll have to agree to disagree. But I believe this will come back to haunt the Dems during this election cycle. Nothing good has ever come from ignoring political momements.

Did trump and the Republicans lay out a resolution during their RNC?

Come on brah. We talking about a situation that's literally life and death for some people

No.

That’s irrespective of you not understanding the purpose of the convention.

 

[paulwest1985]

I'm well aware of the purpose of a political convention. I've been watching them since 2004. If reproductive rights and the economy can take the center stage, then why is the Gaza conflict off the table?

 

[Maximus Meridius]

DL Hugley had some good ones

That was big of him to apologize

 

[cragmatic]

Did trump and the Republicans lay out a resolution during their RNC?

Wild how people have such different expectations of both parties.

Criticize the Dems for not addressing it but give republicans a pass all day long
