The Democratic Convention was an interesting spectacle. I only watched a few of the speakers the last two days, but the messaging was clear. Democrats essentially make two arguments: that Trump has utterly failed, and that Biden is an empathetic figure who will work to unite the country. What will the Republican messaging be next week?

It could not be more clear the United States is at a crossroads, a critical point in its history. Regardless of our political affiliations, policy preferences, or anything else—we must come together. For our democracy and way of life, and for our children’s futures. Where will you be, when the dust settles on the deeds of our lifetime? Will you be the cynic, the critic, the callous? Or will you be the one who made the difference?
