I will as well. Normally tuning in to the PBS News Hour nightly for my daily dose, along with the BBC America news cast before hand to get a good world view of what's going on. But as for sitting up late and watching the Convention speeches live, yeah no. I'm usually too tired for that after getting up early and working all day. Have a good one.

New leadership would be great at all levels of government. However the Democrats are career politicians so nothing new there. Both parties have corruption. The whole system needs rehabbed or dropped.
I would love to see a candidate run on their abilities and skills. No party puppeting them. Congress has gotten nothing done for years and years all due to party pressure.
As a woman and mother, I wouldn't vote for Biden if someone paid me. The pictures and videos of him touching girls and women as they shrink away from him or attempt to shrug him off, are endless.
Biden has been honest about his racist views and opposition to desegregation and not wanting his kids to be in a racial jungle.
Straight from Snopes ... In the 1970s, then-Sen. Joe Biden was a vocal opponent of busing as a means for desegregating public schools. And that record haunts him in his bid to secure the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.

In early March 2020, readers asked Snopes to verify a quote in 1977 in which Biden, then a U.S. senator representing Delaware, allegedly expressed fear that desegregation, if not done in an “orderly” way, could result in his children growing up in “a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point.”

The quote was initially uncovered by Daria Roithmayr, a law professor at the University of Southern California (USC), in July 2019. But as Biden emerged from Super Tuesday on March 3, 2020, as a potential front-runner for the nomination, news stories containing the quote circulated anew.

Among stories readers widely shared was a July 15, 2019, Business Insider story that reported, “Former Vice President Joe Biden is facing increased scrutiny over his record on busing and racial issues, and this week old comments resurfaced in which he said, in 1977, that busing for the purpose of desegregation would cause his children to ‘grow up in a racial jungle.

The quote is accurate as reported and reads in full:

Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point. We have got to make some move on this.

We contacted the Biden campaign for comment but received no response in time for publication.

I knew of the quote. I do feel however that Biden has come a long way since then. His work with other Congress and Sen. on the subject of racial inequality has I feel done a one hundred and eighty degree turn about. With age they say comes wisdom, and perhaps a better understanding.

As for the Democrats being career politicians? So are the Republicans for that matter. Both parties cling to office as if their lives depend on it. But lets face it, it's the only game in town. We the people are the driving force behind any change. By voting and paying attention to those who are elected to lead us and voting out those who have only sought office to elevate themselves above us is the way we make those changes.

I believe Joe Biden can bring about some real change if elected. You may believe otherwise, that is your right. It's great we live in a country that many different views can be heard. In many parts of our world personal opinions land people in jail, or worse. I do not seek to change your mind on the subject of who to vote for. It's up to you to choose that for yourself. Hopefully together those we vote into office to lead us get our message, and do the job we have sent them to Washington and our State Capitals as well as our City and Township Halls to do. That job being to represent the people, not themselves, special interests, or party politics.

Have a good one!
