Chronicle poll results: Democratic National Convention
We asked our readers if they were following the Democratic National Convention. Here's what they said.
Last week, the Chronicle asked its readers in an electronic poll the following question: “Are you following the Democratic National Convention?” Of the 336 people who responded, 77% said yes and 23% said no. Comments were submitted by 86 people. A few follow.
Nice to see such joy in politics!
Schumer, Shapiro, Emhoff and Pritzker: impressive, visible Jewish leaders and representation.
Both the DNC and the RNC are just posturing and dividing our nation further. They’re both “us against them.”
It is on too late. I just watch the highlights on the news the next day.
I’ll wait to see what comes out of it, and particularly, if the Dems are controlling their antisemitic wokeist extremists. The candidate is less important than the platform.
I’m following the news about anti-Israel protests. Shame on the Democratic party becoming a hotbed for antisemitic activity. It really puts American Jewish voters between a rock and a hard place.
It makes me wish the Republican party had put forth a more compelling ticket.
I love the energy!
It’s been sensational. Good speeches and a wide variety of speakers, including young and more experienced, and even a few ex-Trump supporters.
I’m very concerned about the lack of explicit support for Israel by the Democrats — and Joe Biden’s statement about the (violent) demonstrators: “They have a point,” he said.
We have a stable of quality potential candidate in the Democratic party. The speeches have been excellent…We need to all vote and WIN.
Every speaker who stepped on stage was fabulous.
When the Democratic party decides to once again be inclusive to Jews, I’ll resume my affiliation. Until then, I shall be an independent.
The convention is a disappointing lovefest without substance. There are two Democratic parties now: the new far left and the traditionals. The convention has been taken over by catering to the far left.
I love the positive energy of the crowd and the compassion as well as the intelligence of the speakers.
Lies, lies, lies.
As a Trump supporter, I can barely watch, but it’s important to see what “the other side of the aisle” is saying.
It is delightful to see the joy and optimism that was displayed at this event. It stands in stark contrast to the doom and gloom promoted by the opponents.
I’m not sitting glued to the TV set, but I have to say that the spirit of joy and hope that pervades from the DNC is inviting. It feels good and it feels like we are on the right track. PJC
