Well, this was a much nicer thing to wake up to:

Kaine just asked how many people in the crowd are naturalized citizens, and said "thanks for choosing us." I cannot emphasize the contrast

I'm rather surprised (and very, very pleased!!) Definitely going to be throwing my vote their way this November!

*HUGS*

Of course the alternative is essentially a fascist dictatorship, but it's much better to vote *for* something than against. :)

True...but if I was a fence-sitter as if!! or someone who just thought that insane orange fascists with poor toupees out to be given a chance, this would have swayed me to capitulate to all that is Hillary and Kaine. :D

[elisi]

Here is to hoping many do!!

Well, that's tremendously good news! Maybe the entire world isn't doomed after all.

I just watched the speech. He's that perfect down-to-earth, friendly fella who is the best of what America can be. <3

I do, thank you!

Just tuned into the DNC and the first thing on the screen is an eleven year old daughter of Mexican immigrants talking about being worried her parents will be deported and HC telling her to let her do the worrying. It's cool. I planned on crying tonight. It's cool.

My pleasure.

And yeah, the difference between the conventions is... *waves hands*
