Not One Minute Have I Spent Watching the Democratic National Convention So Far; Here's Why
Not One Minute Have I Spent Watching the Democratic National Convention So Far; Here's Why
I have not watched a minute of the Democratic National Convention (DNC). That’s unlike me, I know, not to tune in to see what the left is saying heading into a November election, but I already knew much of what they would say—and from all accounts, I was right. I have chosen not to have my stomach churn and skin crawl this election year, so I have, instead, been more productive with my time this go ‘round.
Because the script always has its basic staples, I have selected not to listen to all the hype about what Kamala Harris—who hasn’t done one thing as vice president anyone can name—brings to the presidential table. Understand, this is the same politician Democrats couldn’t stand, right up until they set up President Biden to embarrass himself in a debate against former President Trump. Yes, “set up.” They knew full well the world would get to see what they had already seen and were lying about concerning Biden’s cognitive decline. Until Harris became the left’s useful tool, her polling was in the tank. Y’all did know that much of politics is who can be used and when, right? Okay, just checking.
I have chosen so far this week not to hear the radical leftist allegiance to killing unborn babies, chopping off children’s body parts, and hatred towards Trump. I don’t like to use the word “hate,” but we all know that this is what many—most?—of the people involved in the DNC spectacle feel about him. The rest of us call it by its real name: Trump Derangement Syndrome.
So my stomach hasn’t been churning this week—well, not from the Convention anyway. 🤣 And I’ve gotten more important things accomplished because if I wanted to watch a lie, I’d just get on the scale. (It is lying, isn’t it? Please tell me it is!)
Perhaps I will tune in to hear Harris speak on Thursday night to close out the gathering. We’ll see how my stomach and skin feel about it. I’ll consult them first.
What about you? Have you been tuning in? And what are your thoughts?
Since the DNC, I have paid more attention to the intricacies of each politician and their specifics on how they’ll handle the job.
Each one has pros and cons. Neither is the perfect candidate. The frustrating part of politics is the obscene amount of money used to get one elected. This summarily shuts out those who might actually have the acumen for best handling our country, its place and role in the world.
God has a plan. It might not be our plan but I trust in Him. This election is the first time in my 57+ years in which I feel ambivalent towards casting a vote. It was instilled in me that voting was a duty, a privilege hard fought for and to be honored.
This time around, it feels more like a choice of “the lesser of two evils” instead of a choice for the candidate I feel is best for the job. If I truly don’t have strong, positive feelings about either one, how do I cast a vote in support? In Illinois, it won’t matter anyway because Chicago wipes out the votes for the rest of the state. How Chicago goes, is how the state goes, and it’s gone democratic since Reagan, I think. Maybe Bush? Well, it’s pretty much a blue state. Which is fine when the candidate is one who instills confidence and hope.
I will always vote for whomever I believe is the best candidate, I do not vote for a party ticket. This election, it’s hard to believe either is “the best” candidate. I don’t believe voting for the candidate who will do the least harm is what elections were supposed to mean.
Praying God will guide me, our nation and the candidates spending so much money to get votes, when it could go to such better use.
I waited until Thurs to see the newly dubbed “Savior” accept the Democratic nomination. Wow! The bells! The whistles! The huge Pomp & Circumstance! The entire and utter failure of anything substantial!!
Honestly, I have a “true fear” for our country, for my family, friends and with how the world is going…for the World.
No matter how many times “fear” was spouted from the DNC, it brought me to focus on it, specifically. The result has me more concerned about Kamala Harris even has a Chance to become president.
I do Fear. For the entire World & its humanity, should that woman win.
Your vocabulary lesson was spot on. You missed only “liar” and “policy” (or lack thereof.)
I pray for everyone and that our country’s citizens, government and the politicians that are supposed to Lead us, for the future of the people they are sworn to protect.
God Bless America! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
