That's not entirely true. It's nothing like Christian heaven but imagining an angel coming down from heaven isn't some offensive misunderstanding.
As the other poster said though, still, fuck Trump.

Again: what tone of voice do you guys think a black woman who is still trying to win a position in Georgia can afford to use? How angry can she sound without ending her career? Seriously.
It's baffling.
It's baffling.
Hell yeah.
Everyone knows his game, but it's time they say it out loud, call him out on it, and stay focused on their issues.
One of a select few who gets it - no double speak, no skirting around the real issues. No wonder she scares the establishment.
Ugh that response. Sounds like they are more hung up with Abrams' losing than she was during her response. What shitheels.
Abrams has an awesome ability to speak to the heart of issues. Speaking to us, sure it might seem subdued, speaking to the broad spectrum of people it might play well. That being said, sure I would not have minded a bit more resolute terms when speaking of the crisis we are in and the depths to which we've sunk.
It's Trump's night. Going in hard right after his speech doesn't help. Give it 24-48 hours, gather your facts, and then attack.
If we attack too hard tonight after the delay, it will backfire. Play the long game
Lets be honest it would have been the same thing if Abrams cured cancer live on stage.
That's the difference between running in Georgia and running in New York City.
She's a Black Woman politician
If she coughed during the speech, people would have ripped her shit
You can't even pretend to think that she's playing at fair standards or without preconcieved notions
That's the vibe I got from it to. It's going to come off like an "establishment" style speech even though she tried to make it personal.
Edit: to clarify, I thought her content was fine but something about the delivery, background, etc. Created a vibe that came off to polished, in the sense that it had a "production" quality to it.
We need to avoid attacking the institutions. That is exactly what Trump does. If we want to win the white House back it's going to take more than the Democratic base to do so.
It's amazing how Trump just needs to do the bare minimum to be called presidential, as opposed to Obama especially
Thank you, someone who doesn't make me feel weird
She just looks really great for 78
Obama brought policy with exuberant charisma. They aren't mutually exclusive entities.
One of my biggest concerns is Trump as a general concept has opened Pandora's Box in regards to the pageantry. In that the loudest, most bombastic candidates will always get to the forefront above level-headed reasonable ones. I mean it's always been a case but Trump takes that element of modern politics to the extreme.
The President has always been someone with ThinkTank credentials that can speak to a nation. Now the President is simply a "character", a reality star.
lol could you even imagine what would've happened to her if she was Secretary of State and pulled what Kemp did last Nov against a GOP opponent?
LAWD
If every Democrat voted we would win I think, I don't know how much we need to reach across the aisle as much as how much we need to just get people out to vote.
that was for sure pre written when Abrams was announced as the Democratic rebuttal speaker. Didn't actually address anything she said at all.
I would assume the RNC response was written up before seeing her speech, but it's just so funny since she only talked about present issues while Trump gave us a full history lesson including pulling out Buzz Aldrin.
Exactly. If she shows too much emotion it's going to be on all media, not just Fox. Black women cannot get a break in the media
Trump pulling out all the stops seem like despartion for some kinda of approval.
many people in poliera* are saying he aced it
actually only one person
It was the night when people audibly groaned when he brought up the fact that he was elected President when talking about North Korea.
God I worked so hard on Stacey's campaign. I wish she had won.... Piss off Kemp. I hope you fail as governor.
