Although only to a point - I do think the convention itself and the overall message and direction the party is going is very positive and without question far better than the current alternative provided by Republicans.
Also before I begin being a pontificating loudmouth I give the standard disclaimer that I do not have a vote here, so disregard me at your leisure and nothing will be held against you.

My disagreement involves your initial statement, because there was at least one more extremely good choice for leadership and regardless of who was chosen, most of the other events would not have changed. I think it is detrimental to the public dialogue to act as if there was no other viable alternative. In my opinion there are some extremely important discussions about how your leaders are chosen that should be addressed. (And just for the sake of being open, I'll admit that the system in my own country could really use an overhaul. My leader is pretty and shiny, but I didn't vote for him.)
My reasons for this opinion are complicated, but I will agree that it is more important right now to make sure Mussolini's reincarnated turd does *NOT* take hold of your government. I will be happy to go into more detail if anyone is interested, for now I only wanted to go on record with my dissent to the assertion that Hillary was the only option.
