Emma Choi: 由于民主党全国代表大会，航班延误，因为政客的飞机占据了空域，导致飞机长时间盘旋。
Ian Chilag: 进入民主党全国代表大会会场排队时间非常长，且组织混乱，部分原因是候选人更换和时间仓促，导致人们在漫长的队伍中等待，队伍的终点也不明确。
Peter Sagal: 民主党党纲存在明显的错误，例如重复提及拜登连任和对澳大利亚女子霹雳舞比赛结果的预测。在政治演讲准备过程中，协调中层政治人物的时间是一个巨大的挑战，甚至需要用到恳求、哀求、升级、贿赂和威胁等手段，有些演讲者甚至会临时更换演讲稿，例如Al Sharpton在2006年就曾临时更换演讲稿。优秀的演讲者能够调动现场气氛，而不仅仅是念稿，希拉里·克林顿的演讲就体现了这一点，她根据现场情况对演讲稿进行了即兴修改。
Ian Chilag: 大会上参会者的着装风格多样，既有正式的也有休闲的，一位来自北马里亚纳群岛的代表打扮成“威尔弗雷德”（Where's Waldo），增加了大会的趣味性，也体现了参会者表达个性的方式。民主党全国代表大会的设施不如共和党全国代表大会，但有一个仅限市长进入的酒吧，其准入制度严格，只有市长及其宾客才能进入，这增加了大会的趣味性。
