My favourite part of the main SAV comments is just how many trolls there are. I would say beware, but I think I have spent enough time warning who they are. One is presently taking a bow and taking credit for spewing venom about Biden... CONGRATS! And should Harris lose, will they retract? Take blame? That same person said the site is dead at least 3 times, yet comes back to throw their opinion into the mix. Oh, the irony. At least I provide updates and info and do not just come to bitch JFC. (Albeit, anti-tRUMP is high on MY agenda) Being I have not seen one good thing from him /her about Kamala Harris or even the Dem party, I am curious about their agenda. (That no one else is, is par for the course)

FYI, I went to watch the news conference on C-SPAN, and it began with an ad for tRUMP speaking somewhere at 3 PM. JFC!! Then the first "journalist " asked some shit about Hillary "Cli'en" that was just click bait for RW misogynists, and the "journalist " is a woman. BLEAH!!

Roll Call
I have watched the state's delegates nominating roll call before, but this year I watched THE WHOLE DAMN THING!! (And some more than once) They almost had me waving my miniature American Flag, and I'm Canadian! Both the ones I added are okay, but...the sound is different and not sure which YOUR device will work best with...

Michelle and Barack Obama are legendary
and I am so glad that she has decided to go low rather than high. This is a battle against hitleresque authoritarians. Sitting on your thumbs and holding your tongues is not going to work. Kick the liars where it hurt and with all of the facts and double entendre and innuendo you can muster...
He can't get much smaller...
It means white power, or
These are tRUMPies or MAGA minis...
UPDATE 1
I don't have a TV so watching online is my only choice. It is actually great because I watched the whole damn thing (And I am Canadian) one bit at a time when I came in from the sweltering garden. Although there was repetition in sentiments, the crowd stayed motivated and happy.
My three faves were Hillary Clinton, Rev. Warnock and of course Biden. Joe made a point to say he wasn't mad, it was his decision, he did not feel pushed out and his love for his VP and she him was very evident. He made sure to include her as he made a list of what they accomplished. AND he admitted he made mistakes! Joe is such a contrast to the deranged shit-gibbon.
I actually really enjoyed it and you might as well. Here are some highlights: DNC Highlights
The trolls are out in droves however... They are traveling trolls that wait until the majority of Dems are gone and then post and like each others MAGA shit, then on to the next one.
This Florida man was a diehard Trump supporter. Rich Logis volunteered for Trump’s 2016 campaign and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ 2018 bid for the governor’s mansionand afmits he made a “grave mistake.” He is now backing Kamala Harris at the DNC.

Dear Daily Kos dipshits
Your banner is being manipulatedm and it is at the top of every freaking page!
Should anyone still be at Daily Kos (I know Perlinator is) perhaps let the dummies who run the site see that letting in RWNJ trolls who mess with the algorithms make them look like absolute MORONS
