The Democratic National Convention in Chicago attracted a larger audience each night than the RNC, which took place last month in Milwaukee.
The closing night of the Democratic National Convention on Thursday drew about 26.2 million TV viewers, narrowly outpacing the Republican National Convention's final night, according to data from the media measurement company Nielsen.
The convention's final night aired across 15 television networks and drew about 820,000 more viewers than the estimated 25.4 million people who watched the final night of the Republican event, Nielsen reported.
I'm going to vote for Harris because Trump is an existential threat to the US and the tiny shred of actual democracy we still have left, but I'm getting really damn tired of having a choice between the conservative party cosplaying as liberals and the fascist party cosplaying as conservatives. First past the post may very well be the worst choice in the history of the US in terms of damage it has done to this country.

You're not wrong. Please continue to spread the word with everyone you know.
Feeling like you're always voting strategically, feeling like your vote doesn't matter especially in a deep red or blue state, or so much money in politics... Campaign finance / election reform is the number one issue.
There needs to be a growing grassroots movement state by state to push for a new Constitutional Amendment.
ActBlue says grassroots donors contributed more than $100 million during the DNC this week.
Just during the hour after Vice President Harris' acceptance speech, donors sent $7.2 million to Democratic candidates through the platform.
You have two options I'm not voting for either one of them. By the time the next inauguration comes around, there's not likely to be many left in Gaza.
Spot on. All the excitement of Biden dropping and Harris making some savvy choices (like Walz) got me timidly peeking out from the cocoon of cynicism I’ve build up from decades of incompetent and evil leadership. Then Harris welt full tilt Palpatine/DNC pandering campaign cop and all that good will and energy just evaporated. In addition to shying away from all this vaunted joy-infused leadership-ness I heard Democrats crow about for four days, she’s hurting her electability with yet another Democratic shift to the right. And, if we’re lucky enough to get her in, and finally boot the orange shitgibbon to the curb, we have every reason to believe she will run yet another, timid, milquetoast administration that continues to Overton window us further toward Republican-style fascism.
I desperately hate the Democratic Party for being such a comprehensively ineffective opposition to creeping fascism. She had a chance to demonstrate real leadership here, but chose DC campaign consultant maneuvering instead. Such a deep let down.
