Democrats aren't leading with anger

[Guno צְבִי]

Under the circumstances, it would have been easy for the Democrats to spend four nights trashing the president with abandon and every Republican in Washington right along with him. It would have been easy for them to give in to the urge to lead with anger and further divide our nation. Instead, they spent the first two nights trying to mend our divide, bringing together the most inclusive, bipartisan coalition of Americans in support of Joe Biden that we have ever seen.

From the National Anthem on opening night, sung by a diverse choir of singers from every state to last night’s nomination roll call that reflected the true colors of our country, to the broad collection of speakers from every race, gender and both major parties, this convention has lifted our spirits and allowed us to hope that maybe —just maybe — we could have a president who would put the unity and well-being of our nation above himself.

In a moment when Trump is trying to silence dissent and suppress the vote, the Democratic convention gives a voice to America’s diversity. The speakers list includes, among others, several Republican leaders, Latinos, African-Americans, black LGBTQ elected legislators, and dozens of strong women leaders. And 115 Native Americans from 37 different states will participate.

It is this diversity of ethnicity, culture and thought that distinguishes this convention, not just from past Democratic events, but from the upcoming Republican convention as well. As the Democrats are expanding their reach and broadening their inclusion, Republicans are doing exactly the opposite. Under Trump, the Republican Party has shrunk and fewer and fewer Americans feel welcome in their ranks, especially minorities and women.

They should lead with anger. As Aristotle would say, to not express righteous anger is also a lack of ethics.

I am very proud of my Democrat leaders and the honorable Republicans who have spoken so far at the convention.

Talk about grace and style.

Quite naturally, the Democrats and their Republican friends have to contrast themselves to the current Republican Administration, but all they have to do, and all they have done so far, is just explain what we have to offer, and explain this is what you will get with us, and here are the reasons why we think it is best for all Americans vs. here is what you have now with the Trump Administration, and here is why we think this is wrong for America!

HOW CAN ANYONE BE ANY MORE GRACEFUL THAN THAT!?

How can ANYONE be any more informative than that?

How can ANYONE be any more honest than that?

How can anyone be more sincere than that?
