All right @traders, we’re going to give @duck_master one more day to delve into transcripts…
Everything else should be sewn up here! If you have questions or concerns, please respond in the existing thread if one exists, you probably didn’t fall out of a coconut tree so there is context to keep.
Thanks y’all and have a great weekend!
@mods Please reresolve this and the similar “person of color” answer YES?
Have to hunt for it, but according to the official program:
Keynote Remarks
Angela Alsobrooks
Democratic Nominee for the U.S. Senate, Maryland; Long-time mentee of the Vice President
Almost! She didn’t wave and wasn’t on stage but…

So this resolves NO
“Today” being Friday, August 23, 2024.
The protesters went back inside the DNC after 8 p.m. Thursday.
Based on this I’ll resolve NO. Let me know if you think it should be yes or NA.
Is this qualifying?

@duck_master should settle as yes now
He referred to MAGA Republicans as weird, not specifically Trump and Vance.
Relevant excerpt:
I meet with business leaders all the time, and there is one universal thing they all need: people. They need more workers to fill all the jobs they have, but the anti-freedom, anti-family policies of MAGA Republicans are driving workers away.
Here’s the thing. Americans don’t want to be forced to drive 100 miles to deliver a baby because draconian abortion laws shut down the maternity ward. Americans want the hope of giving birth through IVF not the fear it might be taken away. Americans with LGBTQ kids don’t want them facing crimination at school because the state sanctioned it. Americans want to go to their neighborhood grocery store and not have to worry about some random guy open carrying an AR-15.Americans don’t want their kids to be taught in history class that slavery was a jobs program. And if Americans are Black or brown, they want to get promoted at work without being derided as a DEI hire for the sin of being successful while not White. Let’s be clear, it’s not “woke” that limits economic growth, it’s weird. These guys aren’t just weird, they’re dangerous.
