Baphomet Star in the D of the D20 symbol.

In a presidential election in which a record-high percentage of Americans (25 percent overall, including 37 percent of independents) agree that neither major-party candidate "would make a good president," it makes sense that traditional viewership for the Democratic National Convention (DNC) is tanking. The shift to an all-online convention, including a high number of pre-taped speeches, certainly hasn't done anything for the intensity of audience engagement.
According to the ratings service Nielsen, the first night of the DNC pulled about 19.7 million viewers across broadcast and cable stations, down from 26 million viewers in 2016. The second night of the convention had about 19.2 million watchers, down from about 25 million four years ago. Nielsen hasn't released ratings for last night yet.
A spokesman for Joe Biden, TJ Ducklo, tweeted triumphantly after the first night that "28.9 million Americans tuned in to @DemConvention last night across TV & digital platforms, up from 2016 & shattering the previous record for digital streams, which totaled 10.2m even as numbers still come in." But Duckclo didn't include any source for his estimate of digital viewership, leading NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik to ask, "Where are you deriving streaming figures from?" No answer was forthcoming.

that’s the problem you don’t get a yoke!
You forget that the debates include that idiot Frank Lunz interviewing hopelessly clueless people.
Vintage S.W.A.T. is on Roku.
As dated as it is, beats the commie-dem convention.
Joe was ratings flop. Total viewers of his speech was down 21% compared to hillary’s speech.
And no Thursday bump for Joe compared to Wednesday. Hillary had 25% ratings bump for her speech. Trumps ‘s speech bump was 40% in 2016.
I watched a documentary on the Japanese invasion of Shanghi in 1937 - it was way better than Clueless Joe.
Anyone who is a member of the democrat party or that votes democrat is simply your enemy, folks. I wish it was not that way but I can no longer ignore how democrats, all of them not just the politicians, vote to enslave everyone who does not follow their demands. This is all the riots in portland, seattle or new york are about. Democrats can not get what they demand because the do not control all of government so they enact violence to get their way.

Most anything, including watching paint dry, is more entertaining that Joe Biden’s recycled & “canned” speech.
(”Same old, same old” accurately describes his foolish blathering.)

Hard to believe that NPR would question anything a democrat says.
That’s Unreason Maggotzine for you. What a bunch of losers.

Creepy Joe lifting speeches, again?
Joe Biden accused of plagiarizing late Canadian politician Jack Layton in DNC speech
...Left-wing Canadian activists took to social media to claim that Joe Biden’s DNC acceptance speech had been plagiarized.
Judge for yourself. Biden’s words were: “For love is more powerful than hate. Hope is more powerful than fear. And light is more powerful than dark.”
In his goodbye letter just before his death, Layton wrote the following: “My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair.”
In a now-deleted tweet, Trans activist Sophia Banks wrote, “Jack Layton is trending. One of Canada’s most beloved politicians. As Biden butchers his dying words left to us”....
I don’t like yokes, which is why I am a Never-Socialister.
Old Joe thought it was still 1988 and since Neil Kinnock isn’t around ....
And drops God from the Pledge of Allegiance ....
“We must combat religion. That is the A-B-C of all materialism, and consequently of Marxism.” …If we see the Democratic Party as the same as Lenin’s Social Democratic Labor Party of Russia (later the Communist Party of the Soviet Union), we would understand exactly what we are facing and how to fight it.
“The combating of religion cannot be confined to abstract ideological preaching, and it must not be reduced to such preaching. It must be linked up with the concrete practice of the class movement, which aims at eliminating the social roots of religion.” …
— Lenin, “The Attitude of the Workers’ Party to Religion”, 05/13/1909
