2019 State of the Union |OT| I'll allow it - Nancy (2/5 at 9pm ET)
- Thread starter GK86
- Start date
The problem I think is that she sounds almost too reasonable and level headed. In America, you have to have fire in your belly to get anyone's attention. No one listens to reasoned discourse anymore.
Democratic response is over. I thought Stacey did a great job nailing down on what is happening currently in this country and how to improve on it unlike Trump who was living in the past.
Nope just a camera crew that understands focus and depth of field.
I think the spotlight on her ( the literal spotlight) gives her a white outline so it looks like she may be in front of a greenscreen but i dont think she is
Kinda sad that it's to that point. I actually like hearing someone that knows what they are talking about.
That's like saying " I hope this pilot crash this plane, he's the worst."
He could start a war and we'll be fucked.
Overall better than the usual responses. Certainly no Marco Rubio moments. As said earlier though, would've appreciated a little more fire. This was a good response to a regular Republican, but doesn't seem to acknowledge how abnormal the Trump presidency is. But hey, she didn't leave Fox News anything to mock or obsess over so in that regard it was successful.
We need voters to choose their leaders, not politicians choosing their voters
We beat Jim Crow and Civil Rights, yet we still need to deal with Racism in this day and age
We want the president to tell the truth
LGBT is still under attack and needs to stop
The shutdown was a stunt by the president
Yeah this response was so shit....ughhhhh
Unfortunately shortsighted people with bad takes vote too.
It's not a campaign speech but a pre written response. What do people expect? We need to cancel this reality show instead of looking for a renewal
People wanted Stacey to break out a big fuck you to Trump while whacking Mitch McConnell with a steel chair. I mean who cares about facts and pointing out what flaws this country currently has amirite.
So if the pilot's plan was to fly nose down towards the Earth as quickly as possible I should still be cheering for him to pull off a last second landing.
Sure.
I think a lot of people are angry and only want to hear anger towards the president and republicans.
NPR so far is saying that they think the speech was pretty strong if not one of the best in a while.
It's not that that it was bad but it felt to me like the kind of response speech to a normal Republican president when there's nothing normal about this presidency
I am sympathetic to people acknowledging that Trump went on so long that hearing anyone talk, especially someone who is so comparatively eloquent and speaks at a normal cadence, feels kind of exhausting and overwhelming right now.
But acting like the speech wasn't legitimately great is unreal.

Yeah the points she made were important.
But it's fair to criticize the delivery.
There didn't seem to be much urgency in her voice. Not much of a call to action here.
It felt, as one person mentioned, like a school report. I'm not seeing the overall passion that others have mentioned in this thread.
The sotu rebuttal has ended political careers. You get out of there without getting meme'd then consider it a victory.
Abrams is a black professional woman, she would never have gotten half as far if she was anything like these folks wanted her to be
PBS Newshour also agrees that it was a total 180 on what Trump was spewing out. Again, people want spectacles instead of what the issues are.
Yup, the High Toad approach no longer works in the age of Trump.
It's time to throw down the gloves
