2020 Democratic National Convention, Night One – Streaming And Open Thread

Posted by Ellen -7842.60pc on August 17, 2020 · Flag

At 9 PM ET, the 2020 Democratic convention will kick off. Tonight’s speakers include Michelle Obama, Bernie Sanders, Andrew Cuomo and more. You can watch it here and share your thoughts and observations in our comments section.

Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, which Jared Kushner thought would no longer be a problem by now, this convention will be nothing like its predecessors. But it should still be interesting to see how the Democrats navigate the new abnormal.

Here’s the full roster of tonight’s speakers, as per CNBC:

  • Former first lady Michelle Obama (slated to appear in the 10 p.m. hour)
  • Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. (slated to appear in the 10 p.m. hour)
  • Sen. Doug Jones, D-Ala. 
  • Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Wis. 
  • Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss. 
  • Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C. 
  • Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer 
  • New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo 
  • Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev. 
  • Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn. 
  • Former Ohio governor and GOP presidential candidate John Kasich
  • Former Hewlett Packard CEO Meg Whitman

According to The New York Times, “regular people” such as Gwen Carr, mother of Eric Garner will hold a conversation with Mr. Biden on racial justice; Kristin Urquiza, a woman whose father died from the coronavirus, will also appear; as will health care workers.

The DNC schedule includes performances by Maggie Rogers, Leon Bridges and Billy Porter and Stephen Stills.

Will you be watching? What do you think?

Of course, Trump will be calling bogus daily press briefings so he can attack every speaker from the night before, and the news media carries these like they are news. Let the nutjob get his fix on Twitter and stop airing these disasters.

My opinion of Bernie has risen a lot after that very well measured performance. And Michelle was magnificent. I hope having a husband as Chief Justice doesn’t silence her.

I thought the convention was very well done. But man, oh, man, Michelle Obama’s speech was one for the ages. So was Bernie Sanders’ and the two of them back to back… it left me almost breathless.

And crying.
