The turn from the last umpteen years to an explosion of joy and celebration feels like I’ve been holding my breath through 44 years of Republican control politics. My mood was so cynical, like sour persimmons, until the Joe Biden master stroke like a catalyst that fired up our engines. Since that extraordinary Sunday, it seems like the black clouds are dissipating at last. It’s been a long time coming.

The 2024 Democratic National Convention from Day 1 was instantly historical. Conventions aren’t usually a four part streaming series but it was. An incredible experience with viewing numbers more like a Marvel Comics miniseries. Yet it was entirely professional. No fake moments or manufactured enthusiasm, only an organic, real, happy four days.

I can’t wait for the sequel!

Thank you! Always appreciate your passion and commitment to this forward progress that the country needs. The DNC was like nothing I have seen in my 65 years of watching conventions. (Yes, my first one was in 1960 when I was 5!) they used to be more jubilant but in recent years have grown staid and obligatory. This one was just heartwarming! And having you there to reflect on all the joy has been great. Thank you again, Johnny.

💙🌊‼️
