    I only watched Harris’s speech.

    The good:

    I was impressed by her oratory skills. I remember her doing well in the debates in 2020, but I didn’t know she could deliver a speech like that.

    The biographical stuff was good. (And necessary. She has a complicated backstory, and despite being VP, Americans barely know much about her.) I see we’re still avoiding any mention of Canada, but that’s probably for the best.

    She looked like a president up there.

    The bad:

    I was put off by the jingoism. I guess Democrats are war hawks now. That’s where we are in 2024.

    Between all the “defend Israel” and “stop Iran”, I was not filled with any confidence that she’ll rein in Netanyahu on Gaza.
