I guess I am very disappointed in DU tonight....

[chillfactor]

I thought there would be great discussions about the Joe Biden/Stacey Abrams apparancre on Lawrence's program...but exept for a few comments here and there...nothing.

[elleng]

1. Ditto!

Impressed as usual with them both.

[Doreen]

2. I was looking for discussions also. I totally enjoyed those two.

[demtenjeep]

3. forgive me

I was watching and listening


not typing so as not to get distracted

[msongs]

4. no "big announcement" otherwise it was pleasant and joe sounded great nt

[brooklynite]

5. "Why isn't everyone talking about what ** I ** think is important???"

Instead of complaining about what everyone else ISN'T posting, why not post something of your own?

[denem]

11. Because we can always count on you

bring it to everyone’s attention - without fail.

[brooklynite]

13. I live to serve...

[Hermit-The-Prog]

23. I'll have a beer, please. Dark and just chilled.

[Skittles]

14. yup

ridiculous

[Doreen]

6. I liked it when she was asked if this was kind of an interview

when it was discovered that Biden asked her to appear with him.

[phylny]

28. What was her response? n/t

[Celerity]

7. we are having one here

8. Disappointed in DU? I didn't watch because

I forgot about it, and also try to escape from news occasionally. I have to.

I'll catch a rerun.

[Cha]

9. This discussion.. is on this thread..

[PJMcK]

10. Okay, then

I'll watch the episode tomorrow and tell you what I think.

Have a good night.

[frazzled]

12. There are more threads

Either bemoaning that Biden isn’t getting media attention, or suggesting things he should be doing (which he is pretty much already doing).

It’s pretty clear that nobody is actually paying attention or watching anything. But, you know, Tiger King.

15. Thank you for saying so, Chill! I know we're all on information overload, but geez!!

Can we please get excited about this!? For God's sake, a competent, honest man is running for POTUS, and never have we needed his compassion more than right now.

And Abrams! I am SO DAMNED EXCITED to have not just any woman of color, but this one in particular, as a potential running mate. Talk about someone who can turn lemons into lemonade. Talk about someone who's ready. Talk about someone who will fire up everyone from liberal white suburban soccer moms to disenfranchised minorities, to disappointed women who really waned Warren or Klobuchar to win the nomination. It's also extremely helpful to have a woman on the ticket to help get through this Tara Reade horseshit.

[Lock him up.]

21. Exactly what I think!

They made me feel HOPE and CHANGE and a RETURN to competent LEADERS!

[mzmolly]

16. I think many people record programs

now and watch at their leisure. I'm watching now. They are doing great!

17. In the future you can use the search function to find threads you might want to join for their

specificity, then you can avoid being disappointed.

18. Sometimes I don't comment about stuff I see or read,

which doesn't mean I wasn't interested. I thought both of them were really impressive.

[LizBeth]

19. I want someone else, so might as well keep mouth shut. I am voting Blue.

But, I am thrilled to listen to others that have listened.

[JI7]

20. Why didn't YOU start a thread about it and what you liked about it ? That's how discussions usually

start . And LOD reruns a couple or so hours later so some people catch the later show or even watch a recording later on.

[vapor2]

22. In all honestly

I had no interest in either one. I like Abrams as a VP but not so sure about her if something should happen to Biden. I would rather see Warren or Harris or Demings.

[bbigrob]

24. Hillary picked Tim Kaine..meh. If Joe...

selects Abrams we are likely lost. It was clearly a trial run to get feedback. I don't particularly care for such blatant manipulation. The VP selection should necessarily be viewed as ripe for the Oval Office in short order. Sorry to say that appearance matters for most people before any following impressions are made. This ticket has to be acceptable and attractive to a wide array of voters, not just the usual players.

[totodeinhere]

25. I didn't even know they were on.

And I don’t get MSNBC anyway.

[GulfCoast66]

26. Don't watch much TV.

Even more rarely decide to comment about it on DU.

Not why I’m here.

[mahina]

27. I found out about it here and told all my family and friends.

Discussions happening off DU because my fam and friends aren’t in here.

Wasn’t she awesome?

[Hortensis]

29. You missed the opportunity to create the thread you say you want.

I'll help you be less disappointed in yourself: I watched the 10 p.m. show. Biden of course did well, and I liked that he pointed out that young voters could own this election.

Abrams did well, and I could see her as an appointee in the Biden administration. I'm with Glenda from Ohio, who wanted to know why she wasn't willing to run for the senate to get control away from the Republicans but would accept the (imo very unlikely) role of VP. It's a very on point question she's rightfully been asked a lot.

I voted gladly for Abrams for governor, but I really don't understand how she put her own wishes ahead of duty in a time of grave national emergency. Of course she could have used the national spotlight on her campaign to fight for voting rights, could have lead from the front, and then if she won of course as a powerful U.S. senator, and also contemporaneously with. No one else here in GA was as well positioned as Abrams this time. And she refused. Like Glenda, that refusal to serve is at the front of my mind every time I see her.

30. Great points.

Interestingly, the op never returned to participate in the discussion he or she so desperately craved.

[ms liberty]

31. You've said it well here, and I agree. n/t

[Gothmog]

32. That was a great townhall
