Heather Cox Richardson puts her finger on a major theme running through commentary on the DNC this morning:

@PattyHanson You're exactly right. And adolescents, in particular, are just not given to displays of sham emotion when it comes to their parents.

@nutmeg I think of many media types as having vastly overinflated egos, which shelter them from recognizing how others see them. For many of them, arrogance seems to be their middle name.

Just went and read the full article. On point as always. -

@crdfilm Yes, there's a deeply twisted gender thing going on with these comments, the claim that they and they alone corner the market on masculinity, which is impassive, dominating, non-expressive and non-emotional. Sad, pathetic notion of masculinity.

@LALegault @MintSpies I'm not seeing the misogyny. Granted, I'm a male and surely miss a lot that's readily apparent to women. But I've never seen Keith Owens saying anything at all that seems to me remotely misogynistic. I would think that his brilliant wife Pamela Hilliard Owens wouldn't put up with misogyny in her equally brilliant husband. I think a real gift of the African-American community is its strong sense of solidarity β Black men sticking up for Black women and vice versa.

@wdlindsy Iβm going to figure out how write him a letter.
I want him to know how much his pride for his father, his authenticity means to all of us wholesome, good Americans -

@wdlindsy Underneath it all, Republicans are just mad their kids won't talk to them anymore.

I am writing from Germany and am really excited about the new spirit that is currently spreading in the USA. It is inspiring and hopeful. Especially because we currently have nothing comparable in the country where I live. In fact, there is no longer a single progressive party worth mentioning - neither in terms of personnel nor ideology. Well, but that's just a side note and is ultimately our problem.

What I have missed so far, however, despite all the sometimes really rousing performances of the Democrats in the USA, is a very important part of American society, because nobody knows the country as well as the First Americans and America will be dependent on their knowledge for the upcoming sociological and ecological transformation.
Perhaps someone can pass this on to Harris and Walz, that would be really nice. π€

@elala A good point and question: where are the voices of the First Peoples? A good starting point might be to ask Peggy Flanagan, lieutenant-governor of Minnesota, who will become governor if Tim Walz is elected v-p. Flanagan is a member of the White Earth band of Ojibwe.
