Yeah - let's not glaze him up too much, or they might try to swap back.
Let him ride off into the sunset. The speech was okay, but I'd still rather have almost anyone else than him as the candidate (probably still not Hill-dawg)... and Kamala isn't at the bottom of that list of my prefs, so let's get her in office before we worry about whether or not the 80+ year old current president was awesome at his little send-off / goodbye speech.
Awesome to hear they let AOC speak though. Times really are shifting. You love to see it.
OMG! They allowed her to speak! Wow.
Pathetic how happy the left gets over these crumbs being thrown to us.
I think you misinterpreted my “surprise” as some sort of Simping / ass kissing for the DNC.
Perhaps I should’ve phrased it more like :
“it was awesome hearing AOC. Surprised that the DNC did that. Times are changing.”
