    AGAIN, these conventions are meant to send a message about a wide range of issues, and don’t have time to focus on the micro. Everything is spoken about GENERALLY. If you are a small population of people who doesn’t feel recognized in these speeches, I’m sorry. That’s not what this whole thing is designed for.

    LGBTQ+ people were mentioned quite a bit by almost every speaker that I saw, but just not singled out by name. That’s the point.

    If you watched these speeches and were slighted by your specific group not getting name checked, and you also found this offensive, wow. I feel bad for all the other groups that didn’t get that attention, because there’s a fucking lot of them.

      4 days, 8 hours each night. “No time in the 32 hour program to mention or give just 1 trans person a speech. Get over it!”

      Same thing happened with not allowing any Uncommitted or Palestinians to speak.

      Full disclosure… Still vote for Harris but just be aware of what’s happening. Lots of side eye. We see what you’re doing Dems.

        just be aware of what’s happening.

        Okay, explain to me what you think is happening.

          It’s what happens every election year. Dems shift to the right to try to get Republican voters instead of the actual leftist voters. Gotta hide the things that the GOP rage about. That’s all.

            Where is this shift to the right and when are you claiming it happened. At worst the left has stayed as far right as they have been in the last 20+ years, but the actions and voting records have trended more progressive.

            I’m interested in what specifically shifted, meaning it was more progressive and now it’s less. I think you’re just making shit up.

        It’s not a concerted effort as you seem to imply. Different people are for different things. An entire party of people aligning around a specific thing is a coalition.

        Dems are for equality as a coalition.

        GOP is not.

        There’s as much likelihood of me voting for Harris as it was for Biden.
