It's been four years and we still can't find that 400 lb hacker that lives on his bed. The Dems really should make it a priority.

I also happen to support that position, but I rarely hear Democrats say it.

Also, compared to the 2016 DNC, this one might as well have been the Communist Party.
... What??

Which speaker gave you this impression... Chairman Powell?

That's only one of the several unrealistic assumptions he was banking on.

no other candidate had remotely as enthusiastic and loyal a base, but at the end of the day the majority of Democratic voters are still pretty conservative
And here's another one: voters self identify as more moderate but policy wise they are more sympathetic to things like M4A. I definitely heard polls trotted out to support this assertion countless numbers of times by Bernie supporters.

It was less a particular speaker this time than the lack of a screaming general saying "we will kill you" at ISIS.

when you let people know that means the cancellation of private insurance the support plummets from what I've seen unfortunately
Because they got great benefits from their benevolent bosses that will only leave them on the hook for $70,000 when their spouse dies from cancer. They worked hard for that and earned every cent of it and **** if they’re going to let rich people pay for them to be able to live. But thank god we live in a democracy so these people are not only allowed to make this bold grand decision for themselves but for me as well. God bless these United States of America!

They brought out Powell. Close enough.

If Dick Cheney wanted to come out and tell people at the DNC how bereft America is for real, honest, and "empathetic" leadership, the Dems probably wouldn't think twice about trotting him out.

I like widows whose dead husbands weren’t captured.
