In response to "So Im catching up on speeches. Seeing some of these crowd shots...how in the hell, with Michelle and Barack Obama speaking..." by Turd Ferguson

Also - I can't even imagine what it must feel like to be Kamala Harris during this week.

Posted by Turd Ferguson (aka Jim) Aug 21 '24, 09:11

To hear Rev Warnock, Hillary Clinton, both Obamas - and tomorrow Bill Clinton, Mayor Pete...

All of these bigger than life people - saying all this nice shit about you? I can't even begin to imagine how humbling that must be.

I'm the inverse now, -- I wonder what Biden's thinking. He's built this current situation and they're dancing on his grave while he's still kicking. - Will Hunting Aug 21, 09:16 19
- If Monday’s speech was any indication, it was definitely the right call. - znufrii Aug 21, 09:55
- She's not a "change" candidate, she's an "amplify" candidate -- nm - rollo Aug 21, 09:43 1
  - Not to bring a pat reply, but one brilliant thing about Biden's move is that she both is and isn't. -- nm - con_carne Aug 21, 09:51
- Yeah. Even though it's the right decision and what has to be done, it has to hurt on some level even if he agrees. -- nm - Dano Aug 21, 09:40
- The alternative is that he stays in and loses. What's that do for his legacy? It's bittersweet of sure, but he chose the best option for Dems/America -- nm - ty97 Aug 21, 09:31 4
  - Add to that a reckoning with his own mortality though. "This is real now. Final chapter of life begin." -- nm - con_carne Aug 21, 09:34 1
    - Yes. I've mentioned before that my dad is also 81 and I've though of him often throughout this. - ty97 Aug 21, 09:35
  - And I actually think he realizes that. It took him time but I think he gets it. Doesn't mean he *likes* it nor should he. -- (edited) - ty97 Aug 21, 09:32 1
    - It will be an interesting think to look back at with clear eyes. He was the perfectly right candidate in 2020 and perfectly wrong in 2024. - ty97 Aug 21, 09:34
- (1) given how all his other presidential runs turned out, the best single term of our lifetime? take the dub; (2) he shoulda bragged more about it - mr mooch Aug 21, 09:23 3
  - Nancy kinda needs to ride into retirement too, but I think she did what had to be done. -- nm - ty97 Aug 21, 09:36 2
    - AOC is certainly happy she's not speaker anymore, yet I feel like ST always dunks on Hakeem Jeffries. -- nm - con_carne Aug 21, 09:40 1
      - deservedly so -- nm - mr mooch Aug 21, 09:44
- There are multiple emotional moments to be found surrounding his speech. I imagine "In the just-missed alternate timeline, it woulda been me!" -- nm - con_carne Aug 21, 09:22
- If I'm a philanthropist, having twice selected the person who will next solidify the best chance for improving lives would feel like a huge win to me. - Max Aug 21, 09:21 1
  - "I love my job, but I love my country more." -- nm - Spawn Aug 21, 09:32
- I'm going to teach them how to say goodbye -- nm - oblique Aug 21, 09:19 2
  - Word. And literally everyone has been giving him his flowers. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Aug 21, 09:24 1
    - They should do a 'Thank you Joe' fest the day before inauguration. I'd consider going. - ty97 Aug 21, 09:50
she was very obviously emotional last night in milwaukee. I can never run for president because I can only hide so much emotion. she's a rock so - ☀️ mandy chem ☀️ Aug 21, 09:15
