What did it feel like to be a Democrat in 2008?

This convention lowkey put all the others from both parties to shame

"The Democratic Party's actions had left many U.S. citizens feeling humiliated. Signs of a Trump victory were proclaimed well before Biden withdrew from the race. The voters had had enough." 📝 @KarinaLMariani

It’s like the fucking Olympics bro. The Obampics 🇺🇸🦅

Ironically, the best Olympic opening ceremony took place just weeks before this convention. lol what were they putting in the event planners’ water in 2008?

On top of the world. 60 seats in the senate and the house majority so huge. At the time it felt like this was the new deal revived and the wars would end

There were, spontaneous celebratory parades on my college campus on election night 2008. Me and a bunch of friends, all piled onto our RA's bed learned the election was called from The Daily Show's live coverage. My GF at the time called her conservative family and dunked on them

It sure sucked to be a Republican in 08 that is for sure.

It felt similar to what bring a MAGA voter now feels like. Obama voters thought they were going to get big, bold, America-First change back then.

The Republicans knew they were cooked. People thought Obama was the new FDR

Probably the same way it felt to be a republican in 2024

It felt awful to be a Republican lol
