The Democratic conference in Chicago as a “hell of a show”

Read Time:7 Minute, 16 Second

The Democratic convention has become a kind of litmus test for the American society. It revealed the problems of the candidates and showed the political intrigues in the ranks of the Democratic Party.

Greetings amid protests

The August convention of the Democratic Party in Chicago was held in an atmosphere of rare farce and strong tension, for example, radical left-wing Democrats, who are crazy on the subject of abortion, promised to allow free abortions or vasectomies to all 50,000 attendees at the convention. And around the convention site they placed multi-meter inflatable figures in the form of a uterus, symbolizing the victory of feminism.

However, this did not stop pro-Palestinian protesters who oppose the war in Gaza and do not agree to compromises with the liberal establishment. They disrupted the Democrats’ welcoming party at the opening of the party convention. Some 270 leftist and anti-war organizations from across America brought their activists together, calling the action the “March to the Democratic National Convention”.

Anti-war activists flooded Chicago with placards supporting Gaza and criticizing Biden with Harris. The latter was even called “Killer Harris”. To buy the negativity, Kamala desperately tried to distance herself from Israel and Netanyahu, but it was impossible to bring down the heat. Chicago police hastily built a wall around the McCormick Place Convention Center where the convention was held.

The Democrats were afraid to face their own electorate, which was raging in the streets. Against this background, Harris continued to hide from journalists and flatly refused to answer questions about the implementation of her $2 trillion program of economic restructuring of the United States. The program involves the introduction of government price controls, which would lead to chaos in the economy. Harris has also been criticized for odd behavior during public appearances, suspecting alcohol or drug abuse. As a result, the effect of Harris’s “coronation” at the Democratic Party convention was spoiled in advance amid a strong split among Democrats.

Nevertheless, Harris’ curtsies to the left, with his partnering of Tim Walz and his promise of government price controls, have not been able to bridge the divide among Democrats. Meanwhile, Kamala is already being criticized by the party press like the Washington Post for some very silly populism as well. Harris’s “honeymoon” ended quickly before it had even begun, and the situation in Chicago epitomized what will await America if Harris wins the election.

The first day of the convention: humiliation for Biden

The start of the convention was mixed. Crowds of pro-Palestinian protesters raged in the streets, calling for an intifada and retribution against the organizers of the “genocide” represented by establishment Democrats, including Harris. Periodically, they even managed to break through police barriers around the convention site. And delegates were urged not to check into Chicago hotels under their real names, so as not to suffer from their own voters.

The convention approved the Democrats’ program. Ironically, it called for Biden’s re-election to a second term, but had no mention of Harris. Biden himself was forced to speak in favor of Harris, while giving a humiliating position at the very end. This showed the real status of the president so far after the de facto coup against him.

But one could admire the joy of Hillary Clinton, whose protégé in the person of Harris is now going to the presidency. But the main place on the podium was given to Ocasio-Cortez, who after “shadow consultations” called Harris’ nomination a unique chance to save American democracy, although it went against the opinion of many of her voters.

However, the curtsy to the left did not help Harris’s campaign to cool the mood of the protesters who crowded into Chicago. The situation was reminiscent of the 1968 riots at the Democratic convention in Chicago. This time large-scale rallies were avoided because Harris managed to make concessions to everyone, including radical leftists, migrants and Islamists. The Democratic Party, as well as the whole of America, is even more divided now than it was then. That is why the presidential campaign in the United States is slipping into a situation of “controlled chaos”, where liberals are united only by the establishment’s hatred of Trump.

Day two of the convention: the Harris and Obama family conflict

The convention continued with a lot of questions because the headliners were the Obama family. They lashed out at Trump, accusing him of creating a cult of personality. It’s ironic to hear this from Obama, though, around whom an even bigger cult was forming in 2008, when deranged liberals saw him as the “god of the new America”. That said, Michelle Obama smelled change and “hope” in the air. In fact, it is not quite clear what other changes are needed if the Democrats are in power now. This is an attempt by the Democratic Party to recapture its 2008 and Barack Obama’s triumph, when romantic progressive liberalism was the belief of just about most Americans. Back then, though, they were on the receiving end of all the problems of Bush Jr. and the Republicans. Now they have to make excuses for their failures.

Kamala Harris defiantly skipped the speeches of the Obama couple and left to campaign in the states. The contradictions between Harris and the Obama clan were evident when the latter did not want her nomination and demanded an open convention with competition for the nomination, trying to promote Michelle. Yet for the Obama family, Harris is still better and more understandable than Biden.

Days three and four of the convention: Trump and Harris’s ridiculous promises

The first three days of the convention were all devoted to vehemently criticizing Trump as the party’s main electoral platform. He was mentioned 130 times more often than actual issues like inflation, migration or crime. Democrats have nothing to offer voters except crazy initiatives like amnesty for millions of illegals or government price controls, which would quickly drive America into crisis.

Finally, the final day of the Democratic convention showed even more problematic symptoms than the previous three. The convention ended with a pompous speech by Kamala Harris, who promised a New Way Forward that included a liberal transformation of America with a “green agenda” and government price controls, amnesty for illegal immigrants and criminals. It was not without organizational blunders. Democrats actively incentivized with throw-ins that Taylor Swift and Beyoncé would perform at the convention. But in the end, both performers refused to campaign for Harris, much to the dismay of the assembled delegates. A separate scandal was caused by Nancy Pelosi, whose toilet paper fell out of her pocket during her speech.

Harris, on the other hand, tried hard to strike a balance between the divided Democratic factions. She supported Israel but demanded an immediate truce in Gaza. And her partner Tim Walz has been in behind-the-scenes negotiations with Alexander Soros, who is sponsoring pro-Palestinian protests.

Globally, however, the divide in the Democratic camp is only widening. Leftists in Congress, including Ocasio-Cortez, who spoke at the convention, are criticizing the Democratic Party for refusing to give the Palestinians a platform at the convention. And at the same time, the streets of Chicago continued to burn American flags and call for an “intifada”. But for the sake of fairness, it should be noted that the left is also skillfully displaying a duplicity that benefits Harris when they support both her and her critics, forcing them to support the Democratic candidate “as opposed to Trump” and with the hope that the establishment will listen to them. That was the end of the four-day Democratic convention, a symbol of chaos and a very strange postmodernism.

The split within the Democrats could not be bought and overcome. And this is not to mention all the international crises and the rapidly deteriorating situation in the U.S. economy, which threatens to undermine the position of Harris, who is the incumbent vice president and is responsible for the negative processes in the country. However, she has high chances of being elected because of the public split, where the leftists and liberals are ready to tolerate a lot, just to crush the Trumpists. And her main bet is not a good image or program, but administrative fraud in states like Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. So the Democratic conference in Chicago was a hell of a show, but it suited its organizers.
