Democratic Convention Day One Thread

Instead of doing Questions of the Day during the conventions, I'm going to be posting Convention Threads, since the big speeches happen in the evenings, and I thought we might all want a place to discuss.

Obviously, everything is going great so far!

I just literally don't know what your definition of "progressive" is if you have zero respect for @RepMarciaFudge & @RepCummings.

And, no, I'm not saying they're above criticism. I'm saying they deserve the right to speak at their own party's convention w/o heckling.

Anyway. I'm looking forward to tonight's speakers!

The Dem convention line-up tonight includes: Michelle Obama, Elizabeth Warren, & Bernie Sanders.

They're no Scott Baios, but okay I GUESS.
