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

https://demconvention.com/events/main-programming-2/

@duck_master I have no idea. Find proof of yes or let’s NA this Monday morning.

Oh oops looks like the mods got excited early, but you have my support if you want to take it up with them.

@mods please resolve NA

@10thOfficial When in terms of date and time?

If at noon Chicago time they are still there today, resolves YES.

“Today” being Friday, August 23, 2024.

The protesters went back inside the DNC after 8 p.m. Thursday.

https://abc7chicago.com/post/chicago-dnc-2024-uncommitted-delegates-staging-sit-protest-outside-democratic-national-convention-united-center/15217099/

Based on this I’ll resolve NO. Let me know if you think it should be yes or NA.

@duck_master

Is this qualifying?

Biden Says Pro-Palestinian Protestors ‘Have A Point’ In DNC Speech

replying below, to avoid so many threads

@JohnLynch No verb… did you mean to post this to a different market?

@mods na pls…

Investigating; tagging you in the original thread on this answer to keep it tidy.

Chris Murphy said both Trump and Vance are weird.

“People are saying that they’re weird, that they’re creepy, and they are weird, they are creepy.”

Investigating! Will tag you in the existing thread below.

Resolves YES, Pritzker speech.

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.



@10thOfficial see below where this interpretation was clarified in advance of convention speeches.

You need to put pertinent information like this in the actual market description.
