Low-energy virtual Democratic Convention fails to inspire
New York Post ^ | 8/17/2020 | John Podhoretz

Remember how Trump brought Jeb Bush low by characterizing him as “low energy”? Few major American events in my lifetime have been as low energy as the Democratic National Convention’s first night. It was the opposite of stirring, motivating, thrilling, exciting. By the time the two hours were over, America was so dehydrated it needed a saline drip. The proceedings were exactly what you’d actually watch at a quadrennial party gathering if you were in attendance, on the floor as a delegate or in the cheap seats as an audience member or the press.

Good point. OBAMA still gives them a thrill up their legs, but he’s not on the ballot. He may be a campaign surrogate, but there’s only so much he can do.

I’m still confused about Kamala, saying something about how the virus perceives we are racist? There’s systemic racism and the virus has revealed it? I just don’t get what she was trying to say.

But, they are on the ballot. Obama will be the puppet master.

Honestly, can you think of ONE thing the liberals do not perceive as racist...other than their holier-than-thou selves?

Not only that Joe Biden doesn’t know anything, he doesn’t even suspect anything.
