Well…I usually don’t watch much of political conventions since they are a little too rah, rah for me…but I was a little interested how a virtual convention was going to work so it sucked me in a little bit…and what struck me is how damn big the “big tent” that the dems speak about is…basically all the good about America was on display last night..all the people who are still trying hard to make this country a better place and who have been damaged by trump and his cronies…one of the most poignant was a woman from Arizona who lost her father to the virus and who described her father as “healthy, with only one pre-existing condition…he trusted trump when he said that the virus was under control”…after going out when Arizona reopened prematurely, he contracted the virus and died alone with a nurse holding his hand….I listened to a few of the speeches and Bernie did a good job of bringing his followers into the fold and cutting off the “Bernie or no one” crap and made sure everyone knew how important this election is.
