I don't want to talk about politics

But I do want to say this one thing : The emcee from last night's DNC should have stopped with the barbs she threw Trump's way. Not only did it come through as being scripted, but it was just bad form. I don't like Trump (and if you do, please understand that I don't care, and I don't need to know that you do..) but it made the whole last evening of the DNC bad because of the barbs the emcee threw Trump's way. *Puts Mic down and walks off stage*

From what I read it wasn’t a “here’s our platform” convention as much as a “Trump sucks” convention. A tactical mistake, because the Republicans tried that with Obama In 2012 and got their clocks cleaned.

The first two days weren't so bad. I mean, sure, it did focus on Trump a little bit, but it was really the last night where they didn't seem to mince their words as much. I almost turned it off because of that.

He does. He is destroying our democracy, and he is ostracizing our allies.

I do not like politics either, but I have been following this presidency because I think I really need to know what is going on. We are divided here, with the virus becoming almost a political statement. It's scary.

@LadyDuck Haha, he's definitely the pest president. I've been tuning into the republican convention but only half listening. I've heard a lot of lies and stretching of the truth.

It's certainly not professional. The DNC is not a roast. Have a great Friday.

Neither of the conventions should be used as a roast. The first couple of nights were okay, but I did not like the emcee from the last night of it. Hope you have a good weekend.

I will only respond in this way, and that is I get tired of hearing people say, "I don't like Trump," without elaborating on the WHY. Because clearly his policies are good for America and work. So all I hear is I don't like the man. But this has NOTHING to do with his performance, or what is good for the country. We have had some FAIRLY rotten scoundrels in the White House who have done great things for the country. I just think too many people nowadays are too focused on things that do not matter when it comes to who should be leading the country.

I am not a fan of confrontation and arguing, and I'd rather avoid it. That's why I don't discuss politics. I will say this, politicians lie. That's just a fact, and it doesn't matter what party they are in. Republican, Democrat or Independent, they all lie. Let's take away what he has or hasn't contributed while in office and just consider the man. I believe he is too vulnerable of a person. There is something not quite right about him mentally, and I don't feel confident having him in office for that reason. Of course, there is more then just that reason alone, but I'm not willing to get into a political argument, so I am going to leave it there.

@porwest You are right, we all have the right to feel the way we want, believe what we want, LISTEN to who we want (or not Listen, whatever the case may be) and vote for who we want as well. I've been paying attention, admittedly more so then I did with past presidencies. I just hope everyone else is as well.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Apparently you have not really paid all that much attention to what Trump has actually done. Perhaps just too much CNN? lol. In any event. You can feel the way you want, believe what you want, vote for who you want. That's what makes this country great really. But surely you are not suggesting Biden is a viable alternative? That's just insane. He has DEMENTIA! lol
