So far the Democrats in the first three days of their convention have done what the moment demands: present a “democratic-freedom alternative” to Trump, Trumpism, and the MAGA movement. And they have done it culturally as well as politically. Last night Vice Presidential standard bearer, Tim Walz, did this smashingly well.
Tonight when Presidential candidate Kamala Harris speaks, we will hear a similar message. She will be eloquent and compelling, mix passion with some humor, and, importantly, give us a picture of her freedom agenda, while exposing and lacerating Trump’s authoritarian, neofascist one. If you’re thinking of politically grading this convention. it is along these lines that it should be done. I give it a high grade
