Yes!!!! To start with a CHECK-IN around the country. THIS is an opening. Who are we? Why are we here? And why do we need each other NOW? #DemConvention

“Today we are GATHERED to reclaim the soul of America.” @RepGwenMoore. Also I could’ve taken a shot for every time she used the word GATHER!! #DemConvention is opening STRONG.

They’re using video in a way that is actually working for the virtual gathering form. #demconvention

. @EvaLongoria is modeling a powerful host. She’s ORIENTING us: “Tonight we’re going to talk about three things... #DemConvention

“Family gathers here.” And then a collective, national moment of silence. #DemConvention

. @JoeBiden facilitating a virtual group conversation as part of the #DemConvention. This is going out on a limb for the DNC. They’re breaking form and I’m digging it.

Second conversation format of the #DemConvention2020, this one hosted by @mPinoe on #COVID. Tasked with reminding Americans of all that we’ve been through AND that it’s not normal or inevitable; it’s due to a failure of leadership.

Appreciating the inclusion of applause from people across the country in their living rooms to @maggierogers’ performance. Helps make the whole thing not so sterile. The hosts are stitching us together through tiny transitions full of real, awkward video. #DemocraticConvention

“This election is about preserving our democracy.” @BernieSanders #DemocraticConvention

Omg the families that weren’t clapping and missed their cue. Lol. (Also a reminder that you can only do something a few times before even the “unscripted” becomes scripted.) #DemConvention

“Being President doesn’t change who you are, it reveals who you are. Well, a presidential election reveals who WE are too.” @MichelleObama #DemConvention

Always close with @MichelleObama. #DemConvention
