3. She is starting by addressing the threat to democracy right out of the gates.

and now trying to connect with people who are still undecided by outlining the stakes in this election.

[drray23]

4. the choice of the ellipse allowed her to point out january 6th and the fact insurrectionists stood here 4 years ago.nt

[irisblue]

5. Calling the apricothellbeast out.

[berniesandersmittens]

6. Theres some siren thats really distracting.

[SunSeeker]

80. Yes, but it was kinda appropriate in light of the subject matter. nt

[lindysalsagal]

8. Anyone know what the sirens are? Shitty magats?

[Stuckinthebush]

11. That's my thought

Gotta make noise to shut up the competition

[AngryOldDem]

17. Came here to ask that.

Sirens are common where I live, and I actually muted to see if it was here or on the TV.

Pretty fucking juvenile, but so on brand for these assclowns.

Sounds like it stopped.

[lindysalsagal]

43. Luckily they were removed .

[alfredo]

78. Sounds like EMS.

[PA Democrat]

9. What is with the sirens?

It is a huge distraction

[drray23]

12. its gone now.nt.

[misanthrope]

16. Considering the subject matter at that moment --

-- the insurrection -- I considered it to be artistic happenstance.

[Aviation Pro]

20. Some fucking MAGAt clown

Thinking he’s fucking funny.

Gone now.

[elleng]

21. Something in the way of some thing else, as in cities every day.

[Cha]

10. TY Kick!💙

[Tribetime]

13. I just checked its on FOX

[senseandsensibility]

18. And?

I'm sure they're very positive and excited.

[irisblue]

29. I hope they are eating tums by the handful

[samnsara]

33. i just checked too and their title was

Harris vows to lower costs after 3 1/2 years

[drray23]

14. e pluribus unum ! Out of many one.nt.

[elleng]

15. Thanks!

[drray23]

22. now making a plea for civilized political discourse rather than the "enemy within" rhetoric from Trump.nt.

[NoveltySocks]

23. She's sounding, acting and looking SO presidential.

The vibes are immaculate. I've got goosebumps.

[Johnny2X2X]

24. This is historic

Amazing so far.

[drray23]

25. drawing a sharp contrast to Trump

working to build consensus, reach compromise, get things done, treat every american respectfully regardless of their party.

[elleng]

26. Enemies list vs To Do list!!

[ecstatic]

28. What's with the sirens? Can they stop that?

[JohnSJ]

30. They finally stopped. I wonder if it was a disrupter?

[elleng]

32. They've ended.

It's a CITY, sirens occur due to emergencies.

[LiberalLoner]

35. This. I live here. Sirens are common.

[elleng]

36. Right!

Neighbor/landlord is THERE, just posted a pic.

[elleng]

41. I lIVED in DC for 20 years, now in southern MD!

HI, neighbor!!!

[LiberalLoner]

83. Hi neighbor! 💙💙💙💙

[drray23]

31. hitting upon the economic agenda and the threat to the ACA that Trump represents.

pointing out that Trump's economic plan is to give taxes to billionaires and pay for it on the back of hard working americans.
She is laying out her agenda for lowering costs, help with access to housing.

[drray23]

34. her plan to help for people to care for their elderly parents

and helping to pay for home care. That would be a game changer by allowing medicare to cover the cost of home care. Its a winning message on top of being the right thing to do.

[TwilightZone]

37. Issues, issues, issues.

So glad to hear that she's covering the bases.

I was getting a little (probably unnecessarily) worried that too much of the focus would be on Trump.

People want to vote FOR her, and the more reasons they're given, the better.

[drray23]

38. yes, she is deftly covering every base.nt.

[TwilightZone]

40. Thanks.

And thanks for the thread and the updates. We all appreciate it.

[GenThePerservering]

73. It would also save heaps of money

and give better outcomes for the patients - it's always less expensive to stay home, and much better for the individual.

[irisblue]

42. "I ask for your vote."

[irisblue]

44. "Family by blood and family by love"

[Johnny2X2X]

45. This is the best speech of her life

Wow! An all time great speech.

[Coexist]

46. I HAVE CHILLS!

[DET]

47. So Impressive!

Kamala is clearly comfortable in front of the camera. Her delivery is impeccable and her speech is very moving. I’m glad that her words are down to earth and relatable. She will be a great President.

[nolabear]

48. She's covering some serious ground.

Patriotic, policy filled, looking forward.

I’m ready. I’m SO ready.

[elleng]

49. GREAT!!!

[drray23]

50. perfect speech, relatively short.

Unlike Trump who will ramble on for hours at it, VP Harris touched up upon every issue, clearly laid out the stakes as well as her plans.
This was a great speech.

[durablend]

51. At this point

People still saying "I don't know enough about her" are full of shit and probably are voting for Trump anyway

[RedSpartan]

62. They always were

[Skittles]

65. women always have to be twice as good to be considered half as good

but gawd, the contrast between VP Harris and that POS Trump could NOT be more glaring

[irisblue]

52. This was a very good speech

[kwolf68]

53. Impressive

Calm, cool, confident, collected, concise. A brilliant speech, a great follow up to the shitshow at msg

[NoveltySocks]

54. I'm feeling inspired and am ready to run through a wall after that, whew.

Who's with me???

[fishwax]

55. that was a good speech. For sane people in a sane world, the choice is clear.

[a kennedy]

56. Loved their kissing!!!! Looked like husband and wife, lovers, friends and in this together!!!!!

[LiberalFighter]

57. Chris Hayes says maybe over 75 thousand in attendance.

[johnnyfins]

71. More than dickhole's inauguration

[TBF]

58. Great speech! nt

[Tarzanrock]

59. It was the "best" I have heard or watched.

I've chalked Harris' Ellipse Speech up as the best political speech I have or watched and I have heard and watched an awful lot of them.

[LiberalFighter]

60. Now I know what the red light that showed up few times by the mike

Reflection from public safety lights along the Ellipse.

[RobertDevereaux]

61. Brilliant. Brought me to tears of joy!

[RainCaster]

63. 75,000+ people!

Mango Mussolini never attracted a crowd of that size.

[haele]

66. Not even at his inauguration....

[peggysue2]

64. BOOM!

Our future president just knocked it out of the park.

Wonderful speech. Spectacular campaign.

We’re going to win this thing!!

[DownriverDem]

67. Harris aced it!

She hit all the great points against trump. She showed her true self. She gave details and gave us all hope.

[orleans]

68. she was wonderful. i like her more every time i see/hear her talk (& i liked her just fine to begin with).

wow --

[Silver Gaia]

69. I am wowed, overjoyed, and feeling the power!

She could not have been more perfect. Anyone who watched that and still feels undecided has no heart and no brain.

Kamala!!! Kamala!!! Kamala!!!

Oh, and I loved when that guy yelled "We love you!" and the crowd started echoing it!

And that photo of the overflow crowd stretching back to Washington Monument fills me with awe. And wonder. So beautiful.

She made tears, good tears, happy tears, roll down my cheeks.

[littlemissmartypants]

70. I too, cried through the entire thing. Happy tears!

Kamala Harris for the people is a gift to us from the universe.

I can't wait for her to be Madame President!



💃🇺🇸
❤️pants

[johnnyfins]

72. I love this forum.

But the avenues that TSF has to cheat and steal the presidency are formidable. I am not that hopeful. I think Kamala would be an outstanding POTUS. But 45 is gonna cheat his way to 47. The guardrails are GONE.

Love all of you.

[GenThePerservering]

74. Keep going - keep going - keep going

Many a race has been lost by too much celebration and triumph before the finish line - let Kamala's speech and this great occasion add wings BUT DON'T STOP TO CELEBRATE UNTIL WE ARE OVER THE LINE! (yes, I'm yelling lol).

[Blue_Roses]

75. This was such an amazing

speech! It gave me goosebumps and I couldn't stop smiling! Her aurora is so much more positive compared to Trump. She brings excitement, joy, and inspiration!

[WaltinWaycross]

76. Fortunate

We are so fortunate to have an outstanding candidate. I am so proud to have voted Harris Walz!

[et tu]

77. enjoy every second

it just gets better from here.
joe is in charge and will see all
is legal and above board.
[i know that 45 and minions will
try but it will be useless- that's
their trademark]

[BootinUp]

79. Excellent speech. Great opening program too. Lets wrap this thing up. nt

[LetMyPeopleVote]

81. Great crowd

[LetMyPeopleVote]

82. This makes me smile
