The keynotes of the DNC’s second day ran the tonal gamut. From Doug Emhoff, an intimate and warm portrait of the woman he loves. From Michelle Obama, an urgent call to action, to fend off complacency and prepare for the torrent of lies and inevitable attempts to overturn a Trump loss from the right. From Barack Obama, fan service peppered with his old catchphrases, a story of redemption and of hope.
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz played to a packed Milwaukee rally — the very venue where the Republicans held their convention. Boasting two full arenas, a scratchy-voiced Harris beamed into Chicago for brief remarks.

This doesn’t count - no cat picture. C’mon, you can’t break societal norms here - we’re a civilized people here.
So, fact checkers are in the tank for fascism?
