Chicago to host 2024 Democratic convention
The Hill ^ | 04/11/2023 | Max Greenwood

Democrats will hold their 2024 national convention in Chicago, according to three sources familiar with the decision.

The decision to hold the 2024 Democratic National Convention there will place the party and President Biden in the heart of a battleground region that has proven pivotal in the last several election cycles.

Party officials were torn between a few finalists as they weighed where to hold the gathering, including New York and Atlanta.

All I care about is that my daughter and her husband are not going to be anywhere near the United Center or the city’s hotels.

Stock up on popcorn, it’s gonna be a real 5- ring circus…..

Funny now actually these lyrics make a lot more sense

Chicago - Graham Nash

So your brother’s bound and gagged
And they’ve chained him to a chair
Won’t you please come to Chicago just to sing

In a land that’s known as freedom how can such a thing be fair
Won’t you please come to Chicago for the help that we can bring
We can change the world rearrange the world

It’s dying - to get better
Politicians sit yourselves down, there’s nothing for you here

Won’t you please come to Chicago for a ride
Don’t ask Jack to help you `cause he’ll turn the other ear
Won’t you please come to Chicago or else join the other side
We can change the world rearrange the world

It’s dying - if you believe in justice
Dying - and if you believe in freedom
Dying - let a man live his own life
Dying - rules and regulations, who needs them open up the door

Somehow people must be free I hope the day comes soon
Won’t you please come to Chicago show your face
From the bottom of the ocean to the mountains of the moon
Won’t you please come to Chicago no one else can take your place

We can change the world rearrange the world
It’s dying - if you believe in justice
Dying - and if you believe in freedom
Dying - let a man live his own life
Dying - rules and regulations, who needs them open up the door

My Family had just moved from Arlington Heights, to NJ, and we all watched the hell break loose.

The DNC needs to purchase a large quantity of body armor before they sell out. And probably a large quantity of body bags if they aren’t careful. These people eat their own.

The Democrats have their pick of blue cities. The Republicans have fewer alternatives, as almost all cities capable of holding large conventions are firmly in the hands of Democrats. Most of the GOP’s recent conventions have been in purple states, and for 2024, the plan is to hold it in Milwaukee. So have the Democrats, up through 2024.

In order to ensure that, we must sow division within the Dim party prior to the convention. It should involve one of their hot button issues. Something that will turn off some snowflakes and trigger others. Turn them against themselves, just like they have done to the Pubs for years. The convention could likely turn into chaos from their internal war of nutcase ideologies. Inject some chicongo crime into the picture and it will be 1968 all over again with publicity the LSM cannot ignore.

There won't be riots or protests because no common folks will be invited.

I suggest the possibility of carefully orchestrated "protests" by BurnLootMurder, pAntifag, queers, trannies, and ecofreaks ... the carefully vetted delegates will then kowtow to them in a carefully orchestrated manner, and then include their carefully orchestrated grievances into carefully orchestrated platform planks.

—”Let us fervently hope it is.”

The usual suspects have learned that the money is NOT in the ghetto and are moving operations to greener areas.

Carjacking is almost common in DuPage, they Uber out and jack a ride home.

Oakbrook has become a frequent target where only the extra stupid ones make the news.

Following the expressways for easy egress, Aurora pulls them in like a magnet.

The high-end Mag Mile stores are gone or hardened.
DuPage is the place to loot!

Be careful what you ask for.

Her parents were Republicans. It may be revisionism (lying) on her part, but I recall her saying she joined the Young Republican chapter in high school., and kind of took it over. I liken it to Hitler hijacking the feckless German Workers Party.

Google brought me to Factcheck.org:

https://www.factcheck.org/2008/03/hillary-worked-for-goldwater/

Q: Did Hillary Clinton work for Goldwater?

A: She was a high-school Young Republican and "Goldwater Girl" in 1964 but swung to supporting Democrat Eugene McCarthy’s campaign in 1968 and George McGovern’s in 1972.

Then there's a longer essay on what she wrote in her book "Mein Kampf" "Living History" and how she became a Liberal Democrat in college and beyond.

Clinton writes that she began to have doubts about Goldwater’s politics even before she left high school, when a teacher forced her to play President Johnson during a mock presidential debate in order to "learn about issues from the other side" (page 24). Later, as a junior at Wellesley College, she writes, "I had gone from being a Goldwater Girl to supporting the anti-war campaign of Eugene McCarthy," driving to New Hampshire on weekends to stuff envelopes and walk precincts (pages 32-33). Even so, she also worked as a Washington, D.C., intern for Gerald Ford, who was then the Republican leader of the House, and she attended the 1968 Republican convention to work for New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller’s unsuccessful effort to get the GOP presidential nomination (pages 34-35).
