How would you rate Day 1 of the Democratic National Convention ?

[EnigmaO01]

I sense a grown-up who thinks and acts like a child.

Grow up.

That's rich coming from someone in the Trump cult. Trump is a child in an adult body.

What a remarkably dumb argument.

In fact, it's not even an argument - - it's just DUMB.


Don't ever change, EnigmaO01. You are useful to me. And so are the other leftie loonies who do that childish copy-and-paste crap.

 

[ElChupacabra]

I’m not a defender of Donald Trump and my comments to you verify that. I do believe in many conservative positions but my convictions dont allow me to vote for hypocrites. Jesus said,”My kingdom is not of this world”. My concern is for people. Therefore who runs the government matters.

Then I imagine you will not be voting for Trump either.

Liberal/progressive social positions are anti Christ. Barack Obama. Joe Biden. Nancy Pelosi are good examples of putting governance before God. But they claim to be pious. Good Catholics. In Obamas case a good Christian. In actuality they are Satans tools. Hypocrite is too light a word to describe them.

On that we will fundamentally disagree, and since we are a secular nation, I'm not in favor of any religion's definition of "good and evil" be the barometer on how laws are legislated. While you may find the people who put governance over god a problem, those are exactly the kind of people we need in our government because we are a nation of people who have all sorts of different ideologies. Anyone going into government understands that among their constituents are people who may not share the same religious views, yet they have to represent their interests as well.

Not really, it's an accurate description of a senior citizen who's relied on name calling his opponents throughout his political career.

No. His argument is stupid on every level.

He stupidly played the ButWhatAboutTrump card.

The ButWhatAboutTrump card is a last-resort retort from a person who cannot formulate a rational argument, but believes that his dumb copy-and-paste cartoon somehow did.

EnigmaO01 is not the only one who pulls this childish crap - it's the M.O. of many leftie loonies on this forum. (not you)

 

[Lursa]

No it is NOT. Good grief.

A Straw Man is not a statement that isn't true.

RESEARCH IT. LEARN. THINK!

Here you go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

Ah, then prove it's true.

 

[SkyChief]

Ah, then prove it's true.

I don't need to prove that it is true. The poster wrongly stated that my statement was a "Straw Man". My statement was NOT a straw-man, regardless of whether the statement was true or not.

I corrected him, and even gave him a place to start learning what a Straw-Man actually is.

A Straw Man is NOT a statement that is not true. It's something different.

Read this - it explains what a Straw-Man fallacy is:

So you think someone who supports a candidate who does the exact same thing one of his supporters is now complaining about his opponent doing isn't "stupid on every level"?

 

[Ganondagan]

Day 1 is over and I haven't seen anything of it, because it started at 1am here and ended at 6am.

Those who have seen it, how was it ?

I heard the Bidens and Hillary Clinton spoke.

How would I rate the Democratic Party convention? Typical. It's the one occasion every four years when they pretend they love America. They bring out the American flags they haven't yet burned and hire some leftist who's willing to sing the national anthem without vomiting.

 

[Along Came Jones]

Do you really see empty seats?
Where are they?

View attachment 67527702

Surely, you're not questioning the live on scene reporting of the New York Times? Time stamp of your image converts to 11:27 pm Eastern Time. Katie Rogers reported the empty seats at 12:18 pm Eastern Time. Do you have a picture time stamped then? Guess it was just a long day and they'd had enough.

 

[Northern Light]

Exactly. It was a snooze fest.

 

[notquiteright]

Day 1 is basically irrelevant. No one pays attention to Day 1, so many of the speakers are people they'd rather not hear from, but feel obligated to have there (e.g. Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Kathy Hochul).

I do think there will be a few sound bites used through the campaign, perhaps through history....
I do believe Biden gave the line that will be part of American History. A sitting President leaving the race and passing the baton onto his VP with the words- "I loved the job, but I love my country more." Throw in "I gave my best to you" and we might be creating more statues of Biden than General Lee.....
Seems like the self-aggrandizing monuments to tRump, his garish towers are being rebranded. With any luck he'll be remembered like a Quisling....

At the end of your life and mine there will only be one law that matters whether you believe it now or not. I’m not a Christian nationalist by the way.

Politicians sell their souls and their constituents in the pursuit of “doing good”. That’s explains it well, doesn’t it? Which “good” is the right and real good? The good that kills the unborn as a matter of convenience? The good that puts adolescents on puberty blockers and promotes transition gender surgeries in the name of personal freedoms? The good that puts people like Rachel Levine in power to oversee medical policy for our nation and for our children? The good that says George Floyd was a hero and not a criminal and a drug addict? The good that allows the burning down of Minneapolis in the name of politics and restraint?

You see now that there’s no standards for good and evil and moral relativism is now the rule of the day in the US. And that God will not allow it to stand for much longer. A calamity is coming the like of which no living human has ever witnessed. I think you’re probably chuckling to yourself because you see yourself as a wise and experienced man. So be it.

 

[Superfly]

Exactly. It was a snooze fest.

Your post? Absolutely was a snooze fest.

Acknowledgement is the first step.

 

[Crunchtime]

"the devil?" Fear really is gripping the right.

"Our story" has been exactly the same since 2020....take out the trash, almost anyone is better. And that's how we voted and IMO most of us are quite happy with Biden. I dont agree with all he did, like with college tuitions, but overall,

And "our story" is still the same...keep that MAGA trash out of the WH. And we're workin' hard on that...best of luck Kamala!

I fear God which you obviously don’t. Your story is the story of moral relativism. Whatever feels good, do it. Good luck with that.

The fact that you’re a Democrat and progressive says it all.

And the fact-free post you've written shows just how astute you are.

I'm a practicing Christian and it's not moral relativism (get a dictionary). So..."good luck" with your complete lack of credibility.

You support abortion. You support same sex marriage. You support puberty blockers for kids. You support Democrats in particular. You’re no Bible believing Christian. You might be a member of the UMC or some church in apostasy but you don’t know Jesus Christ. You don’t have the Holy Spirit. I know what moral relativism is and you’re it.

That's really not a question that's relevant to the discussion. This thread is not for bashing Trump or his followers (which I am NOT, BTW). There are plenty of threads for bashing Trump - - literally THOUSANDS of threads for that.

In this thread, we're discussing the funny things that were said of day one of the DNC. I pointed out some bloopers - specifically Hillary Clinton's "It takes a village to raise a child" trope, and some DP members got triggered, so they copied-and-pasted dumb cartoons in lieu of an actual argument.

Naturally, I mocked them for doing it.

There are a couple of sensible arguments rebutting my assertion that Hillary Clinton is a thinly disguised neo-Marxist swindler. However, none of the sensible arguments contained dumb cartoons or memes.

Bearing false witness! That's a terrible sin! Only God knows what is in my heart and you usurp His Authority to presume you do. Another sin. To be so wrong and to present it as truth? Tsk tsk.

What did I say that is false? Surely not the left wing progressive policies you support. The fact that you say a woman has the fundamental right to abort her unborn. For any reason. That you support same sex marriage. Puberty blockers for kids. Gender transition surgery for minors. Surely I told the truth about these topics. Or no?
