Heather Cox Richardson puts her finger on a major theme running through commentary on the DNC this morning:
"After three days at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, I feel like I have seen the political future and its name is the Democratic Party."
"The many stories in which ordinary Americans rise from adversity through hard work, decency, and service to others implicitly conflates those individual struggles with the struggles of the United States itself. Running through the stories told at the convention is the theme of working hard through a time of darkness to come out into the light."
"The Democrats have made their points with the stories of individual Americans who have overcome dark hours in order to move forward. In that storytelling, individuals represent the nation itself."
"'Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning,' speakers have quoted the Biblical psalm, and they have referred to the vision of the American flag still flying after a night of bombardment during the War of 1812, captured by Francis Scott Key in the national anthem, promising that after our time of national darkness, there will be light."
“Here is how we do it. Strategize on Sunday, meet the moment on Monday, take it to ‘em on Tuesday, work it out on Wednesday, thank the Lord on Thursday, fight the power on Friday, set it off on Saturday, get a few hours of sleep, wake up the next day and do it all over again until joy, joy, joy comes in the morning."
~ Hakeem Jeffries, quoted by Emine Yücel, Kate Riga and Nicole Lafond
"Well, I’ll take this over that Hulk Hogan freakshow.
Democrats have gathered in Chicago this week, a joyful, exuberant bear hug embrace of American political identity, patriotism, and above all, optimism. It has been a stark contrast with the American Carnage-style anger simmering at the Republican National Convention."

"My overarching impression of the third night of the convention is that the future of the Democratic Party was on display, and it was beautiful sight! ...
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are speaking directly to the American people at a pivot point in American history. The press may not like that fact, but there is nothing they can do to stop it."

"THE BEST ARGUMENTS made for Kamala Harris’s election at the Democratic convention so far have come from the two biggest speakers who’ve never held political office. ...
Both did something that the first night’s speakers failed to truly accomplish: they painted a human portrait of Harris for an electorate still learning about her, then laid out the game plan for the sprint ahead."

"Black women know more than anyone what it’s like to be dehumanized and reduced to parts of our whole. We have long been seen as mammies, mules, aesthetics, tokens, and superheroes, oftentimes simultaneously. If we are not in service to someone or something, our value is debated, our competence challenged."

"Think about the courage it must have taken her mother to come to America at just 19, the sacrifices she must have made to create a life for herself and eventually for her daughters. If we did not welcome people who want to improve their lives, as well as contribute to our country and culture, we wouldn’t be just worse off—America wouldn’t be America."

"This is going to be historic!"
~ Mary L. Trump
In this podcast, Janell Ross "delves into which of Harris’s life experiences have helped formed her outlook, from being bussed to a predominantly white school, to the influence of her mother. And she looks at what her past can help us glean about her future and her approach to leadership."

"the Tim Walz-led alienizing of the MAGA movement; Kamala Harris’s mantra 'we’re not going back;' her stump speech emphasizing freedom and the future; all the videos of her dancing; the broad left’s embrace of the coconut (earnestly or ironically) as a symbol of resistance. Compare it to, for instance, the seminal appeal of the 'No' campaign that drove the dictator Augusto Pinochet from power almost 30 years ago."
"[Harris and Walz have] taken the themes that have animated the rearguard anti-Trump resistance and refracted them through a hopeful, forward-charging, and joyous lens.
Think back on the past month:"
~ Brian Beutler

This morning, I'm feeling more optimistic than I've felt in a very long time.
Methinks this is appropriate & true.
