Democratic Party Conveys Anti-Donald Trump Message at DNC: Correspondences
The Democratic National Convention in Chicago this week.
Former President Barack Obama has maintained his eloquent style in his speeches since leaving office in January 2017 (“ ‘Brutus’ Bam praises Biden,” Aug. 21).
His speeches are still characterized by their length, condescension, and tedium, much like they were during his presidency.
He enjoys speaking at length, projecting confidence, and delivering sermons as if offering salvation to America’s sinners.

Michelle Obama’s recent speech at the DNC suggested that opposition to Harris might stem from misogyny and racism.
She was part of the divisiveness during her husband’s presidency.
Her previous mantra of “When they go low, we go high” was disregarded in her Tuesday night speech in Chicago.

Barack and Michelle Obama’s speeches at the Democratic National Convention were inspiring.
If there ever was a case for allowing a president a third term, Obama embodies it.
They exemplify strong leadership qualities.

The Post effectively highlighted the lack of substance at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago (“Dems’ Only, Angry Message,” Editorial, Aug. 21).
The convention seems to be a facade, with no real decision-making by delegates. The party elites have predetermined the outcome since they removed President Biden. It’s all smoke and mirrors.
The Democratic candidates, Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz, lean towards socialism and are out of touch with mainstream America. Their main goal is to keep Donald Trump out of the White House.

It’s disappointing to see the focus of the DNC on attacking former President Trump and the Republicans.
The convention should be about promoting the presidential candidate instead of demonizing Trump.

The Democrats’ inability to present a compelling vision without criticizing Trump is concerning.
What does the party offer voters beyond attacking Trump?

Choosing Chicago for the DNC highlights the failures of the Democratic Party in major American cities (“Ill wind blowing through Chicago,” Miranda Devine, Post Opinion, Aug. 19).
With high crime rates and ineffective leadership, Chicago reflects the Democrats’ challenges.

Devine’s article on Chicago serves as a reminder that voters have a responsibility to choose wisely.
Let’s hope voters nationwide take this responsibility seriously.
