This is just a friendly reminder that the Democratic National Convention is not fan-service for people who are already voting for Biden, but a giant infomercial intended to persuade voters who aren't. If you want to understand the speaker line-up, that's a good place to start.
Once the conventions stopped being places where deals were struck and party nominees were actually chosen, they became giant media spectacles and messaging vehicles to reach the broader electorate instead. It's just how they work now. https://twitter.com/Yair_Rosenberg/status/1295042366081040386
Side note: Many don't realize this, but Bloomberg got 2.5 million votes in the primary, which is more than everyone other than Biden/Bernie/Warren *combined*. Of course he's speaking. Aside from having crossover appeal to Republicans, he just represents a lot of primary voters. https://twitter.com/Yair_Rosenberg/status/1295042366081040386
Finally, let me just give one last LOL to all the folks still backseating Biden's campaign and telling him how to win after being wrong about his viability and prospects literally every step of the way. Just sit back and let him do to Trump what he did in the primary!
