       A raging anti-war movement, student protests, a sitting president dropping out last minute, and a Democratic National Convention held in Chicago?2024 has a lot in common with 1968.

       @ErikUden Ah. Where exactly did you see this "raging anti-war movement"?

       @ErikUden hard disagree there. Especially when it comes to anti-war movement and student protests, they were at historic lows this year. Instead the 2024 convention is remarkable for how little it resembled the 1968 convention. And Chicago holds the record for most conventions held, Baltimore a distant second.Unlike 1968, Harris is emerging from the convention strengthened, where Humphry was weakened. This time I feel energised, not sapped.
