Today we will be able to watch the Democrat´s convention on TV. That did not happen years ago but now I will just wait until it is time to sit cozilly in my own house, thousand miles from the US. I imagine that many of you, friends, are waiting eagerly for this. I have been learning more about Kamala Harris but one of the things I like of her is that she is young. In my country I also applauded when old politicians gave way to a much younger person. A young president is not all a country needs but it helps. And although there are some problems due to lack of age and experience, there is a drive that very old people (who should retire to become grandmas and grandpas) don´t have. Being a President is difficult. People age a lot in the years they are in office. From my own experience, people around 80 years of age should do something else. Now it is time to start listening. See you later.

I have noticed that high profile politicians noticeably age once they're in power.

When Obama came into office, he looked very young. Now he only has a very young and beautiful smile. The rest has aged.

I hope Kamala Harris will win. She is the best person for the job.

The Obamas are both great speakers. I hope that will help. They both aimed at asking all that were listening to convince another person to vote. We did that in my country when we threw Pinochet out. He did not think that we would dare vote against him.

@divalounger They were. Michelle aimed to emotion and Barack to reason. That covered it all. And I also liked very much Kamala´s husband speech.

I agree with you. I stopped wanting to be a president when I was about 12 years old. From the outside, I also want her to win. But you must vote and make other people you know, go to vote.

I watched some of the convention last night. Little by little I am learning more and more about Harris's stand on various issues. America and the world are watching!!! Have a good day.

I saw it yesterday and I am still a fan of the Obamas. I have seen Obama´s speeches in several subjects in YouTube and he is very good.
